Hayden Panettiere's neighbour has spoken about the "commotion" and chaos at the scene of the Nashville star's death, after the Heroes and Nashville actress died at the age of 36 on Sunday (August 16). Narcan – a nasal spray used to reverse the effects of opioid overdoses – was reportedly found in the apartment, though it is still unclear as to whether or not it was used.
Neighbour Describes Scene
Neighbour Micah Lee has broken his silence on what went down at the Judson Mill Lofts apartment complex, telling WYFF: "The halls are pretty hollow, so noise echoes throughout. And I had just heard about someone collapsing. And then afterwards there was talk about cardiac arrest."
He said: "I can't confirm any of that. That's just what I've heard." He said there was "a bunch of commotion in the hallway" and noise could be heard through the walls.
911 Call and Autopsy Results
Audio from an emergency 911 call made at 1:51pm on Sunday heard a dispatcher describing an incident of "cardiac arrest", before a male dispatcher mentioned a suspected overdose. Preliminary autopsy results from the Greenville County Coroner's Office have now been released, which found no signs of trauma that contributed to the star's death.
It read: "First responders and Emergency Medical Services arrived on scene and located a female in cardiac arrest. EMS personnel initiated advanced cardiac life support measures; however, resuscitation efforts were unsuccessful, and the individual was pronounced deceased at 2:32PM."
Cause of Death Pending
The cause of death "remains pending further investigation". Hayden's father announced the tragic news of her death with a statement that read: "It is with profound sadness that we share the tragic passing of our beloved Hayden. She was an incredible light and a force of nature who brought immeasurable love and joy to all who knew her - and to the millions who watched her on screen."
