Really tragic.
Hayden Panettiere, 36, died of cardiac arrest according to medical examiner in South Carolina.
Penettiere starred as an adult in TV hits like “Heroes” and “Nashville.”
The talented actress, who started working as a child in soap operas like “Guiding Light,” lived her life like she was in a melodrama. For some reason, she embraced being tabloid fodder as she suffered and survived alcohol and substance abuse, and domestic abuse from her boyfriend.
It appears she did not commit suicide or was killed, according to first responders reports.
Tributes are pouring in from friends and acquaintances.
Actor Tim Allen wrote on Twitter: “I am shocked and so sad as the passing of Hayden Panettiere. She played my daughter in the movie Joe Somebody. The fondest memories of that movie were moments around her. She is a wonder and my prayers are with her family.”
Hayden’s “Guiding Light” mother actress Beth Chamberlin wrote on Instagram: “She She was the most brilliant child actor I’ve ever seen.” (See her post below.)
Condolences.
