Overdose Mentioned In Audio, But No Cause Of Death Released
The Greenville County Coroner has not released an official cause of death. However, an overdose was reportedly mentioned on 911 audio, according to WYFF 4 News.
The words “overdose” and “cardiac arrest” can be heard on the audio,
“Easley Bridge Road. Overdose,” says a voice on the audio. “CPR in progress.”
Panettiere had roles in soap operas like ‘Guiding Light’ and ‘One Life to Live’ as a child actress before nabbing roles in TV shows like ‘Ally McBeal’ and ‘Malcolm in the Middle.’ One of her latest roles was in the film ‘Scream 4,’ according to Page Six.
The actress went to rehab for 8 months in 2020 and was candid about her drug and alcohol addiction during a 2022 interview. The actress revealed that her issues began after she was given “happy pills” when she was just 15 on-set, per PEOPLE.
“My saving grace is that I couldn’t be messy while on set and working,” she recalled, adding that off-set was another story. “But things kept getting out of control. And as I got older, the drugs and alcohol became something I almost couldn’t live without.”
Panettiere leaves behind an 11-year-old daughter, Kaya, with her ex, former pro boxer Wladimir Klitschko.
