At the end of the weekend, Hollywood and the world at large were met with some very devastating news. Hayden Panettiere – the fan-favorite actress known for her role in the Scream films, Heroes and more – was confirmed to have died at the age of 36. That confirmation came from the late actress’ representative on Sunday.
Per People, Panettiere’s body was found at a house in Greenville, South Carolina during the afternoon of Sunday, August 16. EMS workers and police officers reportedly found an “unresponsive female” – later identified as Panettiere – after one of her friends called 911. The late actress was put on “advanced cardiac life support” but was later pronounced dead after attempts to revive her were unsuccessful. Panettiere’s death comes over three years after the passing of her brother, Jansen, who died at 28 due to cardiomegaly.
