The Greenville County Medical Examiner's Office said the cause of Panettiere's death is still under investigation. According to authorities, the autopsy, carried out on Monday (17), did not show "signs of trauma that could have contributed to the death".
Hayden and Brian's relationship began in 2018. In August of that year, the couple was spotted walking hand in hand in Los Angeles. The two lived a troubled relationship, marked by comings and goings.
In 2020, Panettiere requested a restraining order against Hickerson. The following year, he pleaded no contest to two criminal charges related to violence against his partner and was sentenced to 45 days in jail and four years of probation.
In 2022, the actress told "People" magazine that the two had resumed contact as friends. They were seen together in March this year at Los Angeles International Airport.
In her memoir, "This Is Me: A Reckoning," Hayden recalled the episodes of abuse she suffered while dating. "The slaps turned into punches. One night he hurt my face so badly that I couldn't leave the house for weeks," he wrote.
