Police conducted welfare checks on Hayden Panettiere's ex-boyfriend, Brian Hickerson, following the actor's death at a South Carolina townhouse. Authorities are investigating the circumstances of her death, with the DEA also involved.
Why it matters
The involvement of law enforcement and the DEA in the death of a high-profile celebrity has drawn significant public and media attention.
Hayden Panettiere ‘s on-off boyfriend - and at one point her abuser - was visited by police after it was learned that he was present, along with his brother, at the South Carolina townhouse where medical personnel attempted but ultimately failed to revive the actor over the weekend, and she died, according to a redacted police report.
Local investigators visited Brian and Zach Hickerson’s grandmother’s home in Greenville, South Carolina, for a welfare check in the days after the actor’s death. On Monday, the Greenville County Coroner’s Office said the cause and manner of her death remain pending further investigation, and that there were no obvious signs of trauma to her body.
