Summary
Lesley Vogel said Brian Hickerson was with Hayden Panettiere when she died and called him a longtime source of concern who had allegedly enabled her daughter repeatedly.
Six 911 calls were made by a West Hollywood neighbor who told Inside Edition she heard repeated disturbances and believed she witnessed signs of domestic violence involving Hickerson.
A South Carolina police report said Hickerson and his brother were present at the death scene, where officers were shown a bag of medication Panettiere had been taking.
An autopsy found no trauma that contributed to Panettiere's death, even as a reported DEA investigation continues and scrutiny widens around her final days.
Panettiere's memoir detailed alleged abuse by Hickerson after they met in 2018, and she later sought a restraining order against him in 2020.
