Hayden Panettiere Dead: Final Instagram Post Was Heartbreaking

Hayden Panettiere made some special memories in the weeks before her death.

In fact, one month before the Nashville actress died at age 36, she seemed to be enjoying life with her inner circle, sharing what would become her final Instagram post on July 27. 

“Good times and good friends,” Panettiere captioned a black-and-white photo of herself sticking her tongue out while posing alongside friend Randall Slavin, who had an arm draped around her in the snapshot.

At the time, Slavin commented, “Love this. Good times babe. Xxx.”

Now, it remains a bittersweet memory, as her rep confirmed to multiple outlets on Aug. 16 that Panettiere has died at age 36. 

“It is with profound sadness that we share the tragic passing of our beloved Hayden,” her spokesperson said in a statement. “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 onscreen.”
