Investigators are focusing on a possible drug supplier as toxicology results remain pending and Hickerson has met with federal agents, sources said.
- Brian Hickerson, the boyfriend of actor Hayden Panettiere, is communicating with the Drug Enforcement Administration as authorities investigate her death last month.
- Panettiere was found dead at a South Carolina rental home in August, where Hickerson and his brother, Zach Hickerson, were present; emergency crews discovered Narcan at the property.
- The Greenville Coroner reported medics performed life-saving measures for "an extended amount of time" before the actor was pronounced dead, with autopsy findings showing no signs of trauma.
- Hickerson has not been charged with any crime, though authorities continue interviewing others to piece together events; his attorney, Sloan Ellis, emphasized it is "important" to allow investigators to proceed.
- Investigators await toxicology results to determine the exact cause of the 36-year-old actor's death, while friends and family have expressed concerns about her relationship with Hickerson, who previously pleaded no contest to domestic violence offenses.
