Hayden Panettiere has died at the age of 36, with police confirming that she was found unresponsive at a South Carolina residence on Sunday. An acquaintance reportedly made the 911 call at around 1:51 p.m., and emergency responders provided medical assistance, but she was pronounced dead at the scene. Police said the preliminary investigation found no signs of foul play or suspicious circumstances.

Panettiere’s father, Skip, confirmed the heartbreaking news and remembered his daughter as an “incredible light” who brought love and joy to her family, friends and millions of fans. The actress, best known for Heroes and Nashville, leaves behind her 11-year-old daughter, Kaya. According to reports, Panettiere had traveled from Los Angeles to South Carolina just one day before her death.

Questions have also emerged about her health in the days leading up to the tragedy. TMZ reported that Panettiere had complained of back pain, an issue she had reportedly struggled with over the previous year. She had also recently been seen walking with some difficulty. In a May interview with Women’s Health, she described suddenly experiencing pins and needles from her waist down and said she temporarily could not move her toes or lift her foot.

However, there is currently no evidence that these health problems were connected to her death. Her official cause of death has not been publicly established, and the investigation remains ongoing with the Greenville Police Department and Greenville County Coroner’s Office. Until officials release further information, reports about what may have happened should be treated cautiously. Rest in peace, Hayden Panettiere.
