Hayden Panettiere’s boyfriend’s brother reveals what happened inside Airbnb before actress's death

“Hayden was a beautiful and talented young woman who unfortunately became involved with the wrong person, and although her family tried to extricate him from her life, we were unable to be successful.”⁠

Fox News has learned the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) has been contacted and is assisting with the investigation.

“It leads me to believe there are still questions surrounding what happened,” Vogel told ET about the DEA’s involvement in the investigation. “And I think we are all looking for answers.”⁠

Panettiere’s mom publicly blamed Brian in the days following her daughter’s death.

“This person in her life that we have been trying to get rid of for quite some time was with her at her death and that was Brian Hickerson,” Vogel told NBC News.

Brian was among those at the residence where Panettiere was found unresponsive, according to the police report obtained by Fox News Digital. The couple’s relationship had previously led to domestic violence charges against Brian and his eventual conviction.

The police report said Zach appeared “very emotional” while paramedics worked to revive Panettiere. Meanwhile, Brian did not become emotional until the “Ice Princess” star was declared deceased.

Panettiere would have turned 37 today — just five days after the “Heroes” and “Nashville” star died.

Her former fiancé and the father of her daughter, Wladimir Klitschko, shared a tribute on Instagram.

“I want to thank all of Hayden’s fans, friends, and everyone who has reached out for the incredible outpouring of love and support,” he wrote. “At a time filled with so much sadness, your kindness has reminded me that there is still so much good in humanity. If you’re reading this, I ask just one thing: even if only for a moment, think about LOVE. Reach out to a friend. Forgive someone. Be kind.”

“Love is a superpower. Use it.”
