Mother of Hayden Panettiere, Leslie Fogel, commented on the death of her 36-year-old daughter. 70-year-old actress said in a phone interview with NBC News that at the time of Hayden's death her infamous boyfriend Brian Hickerson was with her.
“This person in her life, whom we have long tried to get rid of, was with her at the moment of her death, and it was Brian Hickerson. There have been many instances in the past where Brian incited Hayden many times, and that is why her father and I have long been concerned about him,” Leslie Fogel said.
According to the actress, Hayden Panettiere and Brian Hickerson were still together despite the accusations of domestic violence. She stated that Hayden “was off the rails,” which, sadly, is not uncommon for people who grow up in an entertainment industry that is a very difficult field.
Earlier, several American media outlets reported that Brian Hickerson was with Hayden Panettiere on Sunday, the day of her death 16 August. Zack Hickerson, Brian Hickerson’s brother, also arrived at the apartment where the couple stayed, and together they called 911. There they found Narcan, which is used intranasally to counteract the effects of opioid overdoses.
The cause of the actress’s death was cardiac arrest. It could have been triggered by an overdose. A day before her death, Hayden Panettiere and Brian Hickerson traveled from Los Angeles to his home state of South Carolina. In 2019 and 2020, Brian Hickerson was arrested for domestic violence against Hayden Panettiere.
