Brian Hickerson Administered Narcan to Hayden Panettiere Following Apparent Overdose, According to His Brother Zach
New information is emerging about the day Hayden Panettiere passed away.
Before the Heroes actress was treated by emergency responders for an apparent overdose and cardiac arrest, as indicated by 911 dispatch audio, her on-and-off boyfriend Brian Hickerson administered the overdose reversal medication Narcan, as stated by his brother Zach Hickerson.
After Brian and Zach discovered that Panettiere was unconscious in the Greenville, S.C., apartment where she was staying, Zach informed TMZ in a statement, “I immediately called 911 and Brian gave her Narcan.”
“We then jointly performed CPR while 911 was on speaker until Fire and EMS arrived,” added the pastor, who, along with his brother, was present at the apartment complex when she was pronounced dead. “At that point we watched as they tried every measure possible to save her life.”
Brian’s attorney declined to comment when contacted by E! News regarding Zach’s statement.
Following her passing, Greenville County Coroner Mike Ellis conducted an autopsy and noted in his report, obtained by E! News, that “no signs of trauma were discovered that would have contributed to the death.” (The cause and manner of death have not been disclosed.)
