18 Aug
Summary
- A bag of medications was present at the scene of Hayden Panettiere's death.
- Narcan, an opioid overdose reversal drug, was found in the apartment.
- Epinephrine was administered to Hayden Panettiere on arrival.
Hayden Panettiere died suddenly on Sunday, with a bag of her medications discovered at the scene by responding officials. Her boyfriend, Brian Hickerson, and his brother, Zach, were present in the Greenville, SC, apartment at the time of her death.
Police reports indicate that Brian Hickerson showed officers the bag of medication Panettiere was taking. While specific drugs were redacted, the presence of Narcan, a nasal spray used to counteract opioid overdoses, was noted. A device for administering Narcan was found on a mattress.
Additionally, epinephrine was reportedly used on-site, aligning with the initial 911 call reporting a woman in cardiac arrest. Epinephrine, commonly known as adrenaline, is a standard resuscitation medication. Zach Hickerson was visibly emotional during the resuscitation efforts, while Brian Hickerson reportedly showed emotion only after Panettiere was pronounced dead.
