Hayden Panettiere With Brian Hickerson at Time of Death: Police Report

Brian Hickerson was on the scene during Hayden Panettiere‘s shocking death. 

A police incident report obtained by NBC News Aug. 18 confirmed that Brian—Hayden’s on and off boyfriend—and his brother Zach Hickerson were inside the South Carolina apartment complex where the actress went into cardiac arrest on Aug. 16.

Additionally, per the report, there was a “bag of medication” that Brian told police the Heroes alum was taking before her passing.

E! News has previously made attempts to reach Brian for comment but has not heard back. Police previously confirmed that there are no immediate signs of foul play in the case, and an autopsy completed by the Greenville County Coroner’s Office Aug. 17 stated that no signs of trauma were discovered that would have contributed to Hayden’s death.

One day before Hayden’s passing, Brian accompanied the Nashville star during her travels from California to his home state of South Carolina, E! News learned. Just one day later, the Greenville Police Department responded to reports of an “unresponsive female” later identified as Hayden. 

Five months before her tragic death, Hayden and Brian made a rare public outing, exiting Los Angeles International Airport, as seen in photos obtained by TMZ.

At the time she used crutches to get around, though as she explained in a video obtained by the outlet, “Just had some pinched nerves in my lower back, but I’m feeling good.”
