Attorney for Brian Hickerson Comments on Hayden Panettiere’s Death Investigation
Following the untimely death of actress Hayden Panettiere on August 16 at the age of 36, attorney Sloan Ellis has issued a statement on behalf of her on-again, off-again boyfriend, Brian Hickerson. Authorities indicated that Hickerson was present at the South Carolina apartment complex where Panettiere was discovered unresponsive.
A report from the Greenville Police Department, acquired by E! News, detailed that both Brian and his brother, Zach Hickerson, were on site when emergency services responded to a call regarding Panettiere’s cardiac arrest. The brothers confirmed to investigators that they were the individuals who contacted 911, with Zach designating Panettiere as “his brother’s girlfriend.”
The report also noted that while Zach was “very emotional” during the resuscitation efforts by EMS, Brian did not display significant emotion until after Panettiere was declared dead just after 2:30 p.m.
