As Hayden Panettiere was breathing her last in a Judson Mill Lofts apartment in Greenville, South Carolina, other residents of the complex had no idea she was even there.
The Heroes and Nashville actress succumbed to a cardiac arrest on Sunday, August 16, 2026, at the young age of 36, leaving her fans and colleagues in shock.
Panettiere, who had been acting since she was 4, struggled with substance use, a drinking problem, severe mental health issues throughout her career, and faced domestic violence in her relationships.
