Hayden Panettiere\u2019s neighbors have described the shock and confusion inside the luxury South Carolina apartment complex where the Heroes and Nashville star was found dead at the age of 36<\/p>\n
The actress was found unresponsive at Judson Mill Lofts in Greenville on Sunday, 16 August, after an acquaintance called 911 at about 1.51pm. <\/p>\n
Emergency crews found Hayden in cardiac arrest and performed advanced cardiac life support before she was pronounced dead at 2.32pm. <\/p>\n
The apartment where she was staying was being used as an Airbnb rental, according to Page Six, while police said there was no evidence of foul play.<\/p>\n
\t\t\t<\/p>\n
A resident of Judson Mill Lofts has now told Page Six: \u201cI was shocked, as I\u2019m sure everyone in Greenville was, to find out she was here.\u201d<\/p>\n
\nThe neighbor said they had never previously seen Hayden at the complex and did not know how long she had been staying there.<\/p>\n
\nThe resident added: \u201cI don\u2019t know that she was there long, and I\u2019m not sure she even ever left the apartment.\u201d<\/p>\n
\nThey also said: \u201cI can only speak for myself, but you know, I never saw her, (and) I haven\u2019t spoken to anyone else that said they have.\u201d<\/p>\n
\nThe apartment complex\u2019s management contacted residents following the emergency to reassure them about what had happened, according to the neighbour.<\/p>\n
\nThey said: \u201cThe apartment complex has sent out a couple messages saying it wasn\u2019t anything criminal and that there\u2019s no reason for anyone to be scared or anything like that.\u201d<\/p>\n
\nThe neighbour added: \u201cIt\u2019s still kind of jarring to hear that someone of her stature was here and then that tragically happened to her.\u201d<\/p>\n
\nThey also recalled seeing authorities at the complex for hours on Sunday and realising somebody had died after a coroner\u2019s vehicle arrived.<\/p>\n
\nThey said: \u201cThe coroner vehicle showed up and, of course, I knew then that there was a death.\u201d<\/p>\n
\nThe resident added: \u201cThen woke up this morning to hear that it was Hayden, which is just still shocking.\u201d<\/p>\n
\nTwo men were also seen outside the apartment with police officers, according to the resident.<\/p>\n
\nThey said: \u201cThey looked like they were in shock, not speaking, and had their heads down.\u201d<\/p>\n
\nFurther details about Hayden\u2019s death emerged on Monday (17.08.26) when the Greenville County Coroner\u2019s Office confirmed an autopsy had found no signs of trauma that contributed to her death. <\/p>\n
\nHer cause and manner of death remain pending while additional studies are completed.<\/p>\n
\nDispatch audio obtained by media outlets included references to an \u201coverdose\u201d and cardiac arrest during the emergency response, but authorities have not determined that an overdose caused Hayden\u2019s death. The investigation remains ongoing.<\/p>\n
\nHayden\u2019s father, Alan \u201cSkip\u201d Panettiere, confirmed her death in a statement issued through the family.<\/p>\n
\nAlan said: \u201cIt is with profound sadness that we share the tragic passing of our beloved Hayden.\u201d<\/p>\n
\nHe added: \u201cShe was an incredible light and a force of nature who brought immeasurable love and joy to all who knew her \u2013 and to the millions who watched her onscreen.\u201d<\/p>\n
\nThe family also asked for privacy while dealing with her death.<\/p>\n
