Panettiere, 36, was found \u201cunresponsive\u201d at an apartment in Greenville, South Carolina, at around 1:50 p.m. Sunday.<\/p>\n

\u201cUpon arrival, medical assistance was administered; however, the individual, later identified as Hayden Panettiere, was pronounced deceased at the scene,\u201d a Greenville police spokesperson told NBC News.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cThe case is under investigation by the Greenville Police Department in conjunction with the Greenville County Coroner\u2019s Office.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cThe preliminary investigation has not indicated any signs of foul play or suspicious circumstances. An acquaintance of Ms. Panettiere placed the 911 call,\u201d police said. <\/p>\n

A cause of death has not been revealed.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cThere\u2019s an investigation ongoing,\u201d Kacey Kitchen, the late actress\u2019 publicist, said.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe should know more tomorrow.\u201d<\/p>\n

Police responded to an incident involving the actress Sunday, law enforcement sources told TMZ, revealing the investigation was open.<\/p>\n

She boarded a plane from Los Angeles with her on-again, offer-again boyfriend Brian Hickerson Saturday, according to the outlet.<\/p>\n

Panettiere, from Palisades, NY, was best known for playing Claire Bennet in \u201cHeroes\u201d and Juliette Barnes in \u201cNashville.\u201d<\/p>\n

She starred in commercials as an infant before landing gigs on soap operas like \u201cOne Life to Live\u201d in 1994 and \u201cGuiding Light\u201d in 1997. Panettiere was just 4-years-old when she appeared on the daytime soap \u201cOne Life to Live.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cMy introduction to acting was actually at 11 months old,\u201d Panettiere told \u201cEntertainment Tonight\u201d in 2023.<\/p>\n

\u201cPlayskool Toy Train was my first commercial, but, I don\u2019t know if that would really be an introduction to acting, because I don\u2019t think acting was involved at that point. I didn\u2019t have lines, I was just playing.\u201d<\/p>\n

During the 1990s, she played Sarah Roberts in \u201cOne Life to Live\u201d and voiced Dot in the 1998 movie \u201cA Bug\u2019s Life.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

Panettiere appeared in shows such as \u201cAlly McBeal,\u201d \u201cLaw & Order: Special Victims Unit,\u201d and \u201cMalcolm in the Middle\u201d during the early 2000s.<\/p>\n

She played Kirby Reed in the 2011 slasher movie \u201cScream 4,\u201d a role she later reprised in 2023 in \u201cScream VI.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI love you Hayden,\u201d David Arquette, Panettiere\u2019s co-star in \u201cScream 4,\u201d\u00a0wrote on social media, reacting to her death.<\/p>\n

\u201cRest in peace sweet Hayden,\u201d Melissa Barrera, who starred alongside Panettiere\u00a0in \u201cScream VI\u201d, posted on her Instagram Stories.<\/p>\n

Panettiere was open about her struggles with opioid and alcohol addiction and postpartum depression in the years before her death.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cI would have the shakes when I woke up and could only function with sipping alcohol,\u201d she\u00a0told People\u00a0in July 2022.<\/p>\n

She was\u00a0hospitalized with jaundice\u00a0and checked into rehab in 2020, spending eight months there.<\/p>\n

\u201cA doctor told me that if I didn\u2019t stop drinking, I\u2019d be dead within five years.\u201d<\/p>\n

The actress said she \u201cfelt more clear-headed than I\u2019d ever been\u201d when she left rehab in 2021.<\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n

Panettiere was a mom to daughter Kaya, 11, whom she shared with the retired heavyweight boxer Wladimir Klitschko.<\/p>\n

She struck up a relationship with the ex-sportsman in 2009, becoming engaged in 2013. They separated in 2018.<\/p>\n

Her final acting credit came in the 2026 Brandon Auman-directed psychological thriller movie \u201cSleepwalker,\u201d where she starred alongside Justin Chatwin and Beverly D\u2019Angelo.<\/p>\n
