Police have released a new statement on Hayden Panettiere's death, revealing that a "bag of medication" was found when paramedics responded to her suspected heart attack. The Heroes star died on Sunday (August 16) at an apartment in South Carolina.
Police Report Details
In a newly released report from the Greenville Police Department, officers said that Panettiere's on-off boyfriend Brian Hickerson and his brother were present at the scene. Officers described Zack as "very emotional," but noted that Brian showed no emotion as medics declared the 36-year-old deceased.
At that point, Brian allegedly revealed to police a "bag of medication" that Panettiere had been taking at the time of her death.
Investigation Ongoing
The Greenville County Coroner's Office said Panettiere's cause of death remains under investigation. However, audio from the 911 call made from the apartment showed a dispatcher described the incident as a "cardiac arrest."
