Police officers arrived at Brian Hickerson’s family home on Wednesday morning
According to TMZ, two uniformed officers arrived at the Hickerson home early Wednesday. One officer knocked on the front door, and another officer walked up the driveway. According to the outlet, it is not known why police visited the residence. It also remains unknown whether anyone allowed the officers inside.
Brian’s brother, Zach Hickerson, found Panettiere unresponsive on Sunday. Zach walked into the Greenville house, where Hayden and Brian were living, and discovered she was having a cardiac arrest. At the time, Brian was sleeping in another room. First responders tried to save Hayden, but they could not revive her.
Brian woke after Zach discovered Hayden and learned that emergency workers could not save her. Sources said that Brian became overcome with emotion when medical personnel pronounced Hayden dead. Brian and Zach have not made any public statements on the tragedy in the past few days. It is also reported that Zach recently picked up food from a local restaurant and appeared somber.
Hayden’s cause and manner of death remain undetermined as officials await toxicology results. It was previously reported that dispatch audio mentioned a possible overdose, while authorities found Narcan inside the apartment. The coroner has now released Hayden’s remains to her family, who transferred them to a mortuary chosen by the family. Police have not said whether Wednesday’s visit connects to the investigation.
