The autopsy of American actress Hayden Panettiere, 36, revealed no physical wounds or injuries that could explain her death, and the exact cause remains under investigation.

Incident details

Panettiere was found unconscious in a rented house in South Carolina after placing an emergency 911 call at 1:51 p.m. on Sunday. Paramedics performed advanced resuscitation attempts, which failed, and her death was officially declared at 2:32 p.m.

The Greene‑ville coroner’s office reported that the examination showed no signs of trauma, stating that the manner and cause of death still require further forensic analysis.

Background

Emergency‑call audio suggests a possible drug overdose, and investigators recovered the medication Narcan, used to reverse opioid overdoses, though its use was not confirmed. Panettiere had publicly struggled with alcohol and opioid addiction following postpartum depression and had lost her younger brother three years earlier.

Her father, Skip, issued a heartfelt statement calling her “an unbelievable light and a natural force” and asked for the family’s privacy during this difficult time.

Panettiere was also previously linked to Ukrainian boxer Vladimir Klichko, with whom she had moved to Ukraine years ago, and she leaves behind an 11‑year‑old daughter.
