Hayden Panettiere was 36 years old and had a life that seemed to have been rebuilt after so much pain. 💔
She was found unconscious on Sunday at the Judson Mill Lofts apartments in Greenville, South Carolina. An acquaintance called 911 after 1:50 in the afternoon. Paramedics arrived, but there was nothing they could do. Police examined the scene and ruled out violence or third-party involvement, although that does not calm the outrage of those demanding to know what really happened. An emergency dispatch audio mentioned the words “overdose” and “cardiac arrest”, but neither police nor the coroner officially confirmed it.
Panettiere had spoken openly about her struggle with alcohol and opioids, her stints in rehab, and her attempts to move forward. Just three years ago, she buried her 28-year-old brother, Jansen.
Now it is her father, Alan ‘Skip’ Panettiere, who had to announce the worst news of his life.
She leaves behind an 11-year-old daughter, Kaya, from her relationship with Wladimir Klitschko. The autopsy has already been performed, but the official cause of death remains unconfirmed. How long will justice take to give this family a clear answer?
