Hayden Panettiere's Mother Blames Brian Hickerson After Actress Dies at 36

Q: What was in the bag of medication her controversial boyfriend handed to police moments before Hayden Panettiere's mysterious death?

It has not been publicly disclosed what specific medications were in the bag. Police records cited by NBC News and other outlets say Brian Hickerson showed officers a “bag of medication” Hayden Panettiere had been taking at the time of her death. A heavily redacted police report reviewed by Page Six and the New York Post indicates nine medications were listed, but the names were blacked out and have not been released. Separate reports, including TMZ, said Narcan was found in the apartment, but that is not the same as a confirmed list of the medications in the bag. Authorities also have not publicly tied any specific drug to her death. What is confirmed is that Panettiere was found in cardiac arrest in Greenville, South Carolina, and preliminary autopsy findings showed no signs of trauma. Her official cause and manner of death remain under investigation pending toxicology and additional testing.

Lesley Vogel said Brian Hickerson was with Hayden Panettiere when the actress died Sunday in Greenville, South Carolina, and accused him of being someone the family had long tried to remove from her life.
Police records cited by NBC News said Hickerson and his brother Zach were present, while preliminary autopsy findings found no trauma and listed Panettiere in cardiac arrest before she was pronounced dead at 2:32 p.m.
Greenville County police and the coroner are conducting parallel investigations, with the cause and manner of death still pending additional studies.
Vogel's comments came despite an estrangement; Panettiere said in May that they no longer had a relationship, though she left open the possibility of reconciliation.
Wladimir Klitschko, Panettiere's former fiance and father of her 2014-born daughter Kaya, said the family was in profound shock and grief after her death.
