Federal Agents Search Hayden Panettiere's Home

Federal agents reportedly entered the West Hollywood home of actress Hayden Panettiere on Tuesday evening, more than a week after she was discovered deceased at an Airbnb in South Carolina. Panettiere, aged 36, had recently released her memoir, 'This Is Me: A Reckoning,' which openly discussed her battles with mental health, addiction, and abuse.

Her death, which occurred nine days prior to the home search, is currently under investigation by the Greenville Police Department and the Greenville County Coroner's Office. While authorities initially stated there were no suspicious circumstances or signs of foul play, an acquaintance of Panettiere placed the 911 call.

Police reports indicated that Panettiere's on-and-off boyfriend, Brian Hickerson, and his brother, Zach, were present at the Airbnb when she passed away. Zach Hickerson stated that he and Brian found her unresponsive and attempted resuscitation measures, including Narcan and CPR, before emergency services arrived. Neither brother has been implicated in her death.

Panettiere had previously spoken about her challenging relationship with Hickerson, who had been convicted of domestic abuse charges in 2021. Her representative urged the public against speculation, emphasizing that there is more to the story and that those close to her are cooperating with authorities to ensure the truth and justice prevail.
