Drug Enforcement Agency joins probe into Hayden Panettiere's death: Sources

A representative for the late actress Hayden Panettiere issued a brief statement Thursday after the Drug Enforcement Administration joined the investigation into her death earlier this week.

Panettiere, known for her roles in "Ice Princess," "Heroes," "Nashville" and more, died Sunday at age 36.

In a statement shared with ABC News on Thursday, Panettiere's representative said, "There's nothing to be shared at this time as the investigation is ongoing but we are hopeful that justice will be served."

The DEA joined the investigation into Panettiere's death on Wednesday, according to sources familiar with the matter.

The Greenville City Police Department in South Carolina is the lead investigative agency, and the DEA is assisting.

News of the DEA joining the investigation came one day after Greenville police released a report detailing the scene at the private residence where Panettiere was found in cardiac arrest and later pronounced dead.

According to that report, an officer arrived at the residence on Easley Bridge Road in Greenville on Sunday, responding to an EMS assist for an unresponsive individual.

The officer said that Panettiere was with her on-again, off-again boyfriend Brian Hickerson and his brother, Zack Hickerson, when she died.

According to the police report, it is unknown if Panettiere was using drugs or alcohol at the time of her death, although the officer added in the report that Brian Hickerson had shown them the bag of medication that Panettiere was taking.

Officials arrived on scene to assist in the investigation, and the coroner was also on scene to conduct their investigation.

Panettiere's official cause and manner of death "remain pending further investigation and the completion of additional studies," the coroner's office said in a press release on Monday.

Prior to her death, Panettiere had been candid about her struggles from child stardom through adulthood.

She released a memoir this May titled "This Is Me: A Reckoning," in which she shared "a rare and intimate glimpse into her life behind closed doors, opening up about postpartum depression, addiction and recovery, trauma, domestic abuse, and loss," according to a synopsis for her book.

Across Hollywood, many have been mourning the actress's death. Along with "Ice Princess," "Heroes" and "Nashville," Panettiere also starred in "Remember the Titans," "Raising Helen," several "Scream" films and more.

Panettiere is survived by her daughter Kaya, whom she shared with her ex-fiance Wladimir Klitschko.

Keke Palmer has survived years in the game, and her longevity is partially due to advice she received from Queen Latifah. During an appearance on Amy Poehler's Good Hang podcast, she shared that she learned from her mentor the importance of letting her work speak for itself.

“People are watching even when you don’t think they’re watching,” Keke said, recalling a lesson she learned from Queen. “It’s not what you say. It’s what you do.” She noted that Queen once referred her for a role after seeing her work ethic, professionalism and more.

“I just remember thinking in that moment, ‘Wow, my work ethic precedes me,’” she continued. “The way that I continue to move into the game, it’s going to count for something at some point.”

Keke and Queen previously worked together on Barbershop 2: Back in Business as well as 2012's Joyful Noise and Ice Age: Continental Drift. They are also set to appear on NBC’s The Voice: Celebrity, with Keke serving as host and Queen taking on a judge's role.

David Krumholtz clarifies his comments about his break from acting

David Krumholtz is clarifying comments regarding his break from acting.

The actor took to a since-deleted Threads post on Tuesday to write that he is “frustrated, fed up, [and] fried” with the entertainment business and that he's taking “an indefinite break” as "the profession has lost its gleam."

“I kinda sorta put my acting career on hold the other day. It’s been something I’ve been petrified to do for years,” Krumholtz wrote in his original Threads post. “Specifically, the fear was that I’d go broke and not be able to handle being out of the game. But I sent the definitive email.”

Krumholtz clarified his remarks in an Instagram post on Wednesday, saying he is not technically retiring, only taking a break from acting.

"Firstly, I am very well. And I feel very loved. Secondly, I never used the word 'retiring' or 'quitting'. Instead, I said that I decided to put my career on hold," Krumholtz wrote. "I don’t expect anyone to understand, but the outpouring of support for my decision has been deeply heartwarming."

The actor went on to say he is grateful for the support he has received in making his dreams and ambitions come true, but "a time has come where the weight of those dreams and ambitions has become surprisingly oppressive."

Krumholtz said he prioritizing his mental health with this decision.

"My mental health is vital to my family. My career has run the gamut. I’m in disbelief. But I find myself at a crossroads between the inherent self involvement being a professional actor requires, and a burning desire to give more of myself to others in need, in whatever way I can. And so, for the time being, I’m pursuing that goal," he wrote.

Audiences would recognize Krumholtz from his recent roles in this summer's Supergirl and the best picture-winning 2023 biopic Oppenheimer. He also appeared in The Santa Clause franchise, 10 Things I Hate About You and Slums of Beverly Hills.

Hayden Panettiere's ex-boyfriend Brian Hickerson was at the scene when she died: Police report

Hayden Panettiere's ex-boyfriend, Brian Hickerson, was present at the scene when she died, according to a police report obtained by ABC News.

Panettiere, known for her roles in Heroes, Nashville, Remember the Titans and more, died on Sunday. She was 36.

In the police report from the Greenville City Police Department, an officer arrived on the scene on Easley Bridge Road in Greenville, South Carolina. The officer was responding to an EMS assist for an individual who was unresponsive.

"The patient did not seem to have any obvious physical reasons to be unresponsive," the officer wrote in the report.

"EMS attempted to perform life saving methods for an extended amount of time before they called a time of death. This was 1431 hours," the report continued.

The officer then wrote in the report that they spoke with Brian Hickerson and his brother, Zach Hickerson, who was also on scene, while EMS "was working on the patient."

Zach Hickerson described Panettiere as his brother's girlfriend.

"I observed Zach to be very emotional while EMS were working on Hayden," the officer wrote. "Brian did not become emotional until EMS declared her officially deceased. Medic 24 and S4 were on scene performing life saving measures."

The officer added in the report that Brian Hickerson showed them the bag of medication that Panettiere was taking.

Officials arrived on scene to assist in the investigation and the coroner was also on scene to conduct their investigation.

CCTV footage was requested from the scene and a supplemental report will be conducted, according to the report. The report added that the officer on scene also executed a search warrant.

It is unknown if Panettiere was using drugs or alcohol at the time of her death, according to the police report.

On Monday, the Greenville County Coroner's Office said in a press release that first responders and emergency medical services responded to a 911 call at the Greenville residence and found Panettiere "unresponsive" and in cardiac arrest. Responders "initiated advanced cardiac life support measures," but resuscitation efforts were unsuccessful" and the actress was "pronounced deceased at 2:32 PM," officials said.

The coroner's office said an autopsy was completed on Monday, and that "no signs of trauma were discovered that would have contributed to the death."

Panettiere's official cause and manner of death "remain pending further investigation and the completion of additional studies," the coroner's office added.

The release noted that Panettiere had been "temporarily staying" at the residence where she was found. The coroner's office and Greenville City Police Department have since "initiated a parallel investigation" into her death, according to the release.

ABC News has reached out to Panettiere's rep for a comment.

In previous reporting from ABC News, Panettiere had spoken out about Brian Hickerson's alleged domestic abuse.

Panettiere told Good Morning America in a statement in 2020: "I am coming forward with the truth about what happened to me with the hope that my story will empower others in abusive relationships to get the help they need and deserve. I am prepared to do my part to make sure this man never hurts anyone again."

She added, "I’m grateful for my support system, which helped me find the courage to regain my voice and my life.”

Brian Hickerson pleaded no contest to two felony counts of injuring a spouse or girlfriend in April 2021.

In court docs obtained by ABC News on Tuesday, a California judge denied Brian Hickerson's request to reduce his prior domestic violence felony convictions.

Brian Hickerson petitioned the court to reduce his felony domestic violence convictions to misdemeanors and to expunge the case from his record. The request was denied on Aug. 13, 2026.

ABC News has reached out to a lawyer for Brian Hickerson for comment.

Panettiere and Hickerson started dating in the late summer of 2018, after she and then-fiancé Wladimir Klitschko had split. Panettiere and Klitschko share a daughter, Kaya Klitschko.

We now know when East of Eden will arrive.

The series finds Cathy's life "intertwined with the lives of generations of men from the Trask family — notably those of Adam (Christopher Abbott) and Charles (Mike Faist) — as the characters live out the darker side of the California dream," according to an official description.

East of Eden is described as a seven-episode fresh interpretation of the source material. In addition to Pugh, Abbott and Faist, Hoon Lee, Tracy Letts, Martha Plimpton, Ciarán Hinds, Joseph Zada and Joe Anders star.

While "bringing the family saga to life" was a resonant experience for Zoe Kazan, she told Netflix it was “Steinbeck’s writing — personal, shocking, profound, and free — that has kept me enthralled by East of Eden since I first read the book as a young teen.”

Movie and TV star Hayden Panettiere "left this world far too soon," her ex-fiancé, Wladimir Klitschko, said on Tuesday, adding that she was "an important part of my life and the mother of our daughter, Kaya."

"The announcement of Hayden’s tragic death saddens me deeply," the longtime heavyweight champion boxer said on social media.

Panettiere was found in cardiac arrest prior to her death Sunday at age 36, the Greenville County Coroner's Office said Monday in a press release. The coroner's office said an autopsy was completed on Monday, and that "no signs of trauma were discovered that would have contributed to the death."

Panettiere's official cause and manner of death "remain pending further investigation and the completion of additional studies," the coroner's office added.

Beginning her career as a child star, with a long list of credits in both TV and film, Panettiere is remembered for her roles as Claire Bennet on the hit series Heroes and as Juliette Barnes on the musical drama Nashville.

She was the mother of one child, a daughter, Kaya Klitschko, whom she had in 2014 with Klitschko.

"To our daughter Kaya, I will always speak of her mother with respect and make sure she remembers the person she was," Klitschko said on Tuesday. "I extend my deepest condolences to Hayden’s parents, her friends, and her fans, who are also grieving today. Young and talented people like Hayden should not leave this world so soon."

Klitschko, who in the post shared a photo of himself with Panettiere, asked for privacy during a difficult time.

"She built an incredible career through immense talent, while also facing the darker sides of a very demanding industry," he said. "Nothing will erase the times we shared or the place she had in our lives."

Snowfall's Wanda and Leon take on the music business in the show's spinoff, The Drop: A Snowfall Saga.

A trailer shows Wanda expressing her belief in the power of music to reshape American culture, much like it helped transform her life as she recovered from a crack addiction in the original series.

"You gotta understand what I been through. When I was getting clean, music brought me back to life," says Wanda, played by Gail Bean.

Though she enters the business believing it's "the new gold rush" with "no cops, no murder," the trailer reveals that danger follows as she immerses herself in the music industry and navigates its ties to the streets.

Leon, played by Isaiah John, has vowed to leave that world behind as he hopes to "chase down his own atonement through his free legal clinic," according to the show's website.

Sarah J. Maas unveils titles, covers for next books in 'ACOTAR' series

The book covers for Sarah J. Mass’ next installments in 'A Court of Thorns and Roses' series. (Bloomsbury)

Sarah J. Maas has revealed the titles and covers for the next two novels in her A Court of Thorns and Roses series.

The bestselling author took to Instagram on Monday to reveal the books will be titled A Court of Splintered Harmony and A Court of Forgotten Melody.

Her post featuring the book cover for A Court of Splintered Harmony was captioned, "What was broken will be remade."

Maas' post for A Court of Forgotten Melody included the caption, "What was lost will be reclaimed."

A Court of Splintered Harmony will be released on Oct. 27, 2026, while A Court of Forgotten Melody will be released on Jan. 12, 2027.

Digital billboards displayed across Los Angeles, Denver and New York City also helped announce the news on Monday.

In March, Maas told Call Her Daddy host Alex Cooper that her popular ACOTAR series will continue with books six and seven.

"It's been a long time coming," she said at the time. "It's something that took me a long time to write, just because there were enough things going on in my life that I had to sort through."

She didn't reveal much about the upcoming novels, but talked about her writing process, saying, "The story that was finally ready to come out of me was big. Really, really big. And as I started writing this in like this Montana energy vortex, it came out of me in a way that surprised me."

She went on, "By the time I got to the end of the part one, it was, like, 400 pages long. But what I was writing felt right. That was the story that needed to be told."

What resulted was 1,000 pages of storytelling, she said. Because of this, she's decided to release the next part of the ACOTAR series in three parts.

She added, "I've never told a story this way. This is how it wants to come out. Why do I have to be held back by the realities of the glue that we need to hold the pages or just like placement on a shelf?"

The author introduced the first ACOTAR book to the world in May 2015. It follows 19-year-old huntress Feyre, who is taken to a magical land by a beast-like creature called Tamlin, described as a lethal, immortal faerie.

"Her feelings for the faerie, Tamlin, transform from icy hostility into a fiery passion that burns through every lie and warning she's been told about the beautiful, dangerous world of the Fae," a book synopsis said.

It's not too good to be true, we can't take our eyes off of this 10 Things I Hate About You musical announcement.

A musical adaptation of the beloved film 10 Things I Hate About You is headed to Broadway in 2027. It will start preview performances on Aug. 17, 2027, in a yet-to-be announced theater. The production's cast and additional creative team members will also be announced at a later date.

"Class begins one year from today. See you August 17, 2027 on Broadway," the production's official Instagram captioned an announcement post.

Lena Dunham wrote the musical's book alongside Jessica Huang. Music and lyrics are by Carly Rae Jepsen and Ethan Gruska. The show's music supervision, orchestrations and arrangements are by Tom Kitt. It will be directed and choreographed by Christopher Wheeldon.

This new musical "takes us back to the halls of Padua High. Amid the crushes, cliques, and teenage angst, two sisters set out to define themselves on their own terms. This rebellious new musical is about growing up, discovering yourself, and refusing to live by others’ expectations," according to its official logline.

10 Things I Hate About You is a teenage high school take on William Shakespeare's classic The Taming of the Shrew. The 1999 film starred Julia Stiles, Heath Ledger, Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Larisa Oleynik. One of its most-famous scenes finds Ledger's Patrick Verona descending the high school's bleachers as he sings a cover of Frankie Valli's “Can’t Take My Eyes Off You" to woo Stiles' Kat Stratford.

This production marks Dunham's Broadway creative team debut. Jepsen previously performed as the titular princess in Rodgers & Hammerstein’s Cinderella back in 2014.

A new semester begins in September at the fictional Hillman College.

A new trailer to the show follows Maleah Joi Moon's Deborah Wayne, daughter of fan favorites Whitley and Dwayne, as she begins her college years at their alma mater, Hillman College.

"My parents have been pushing Hillman since before they knew my name," she tells a counselor who questions her reason for attending the school. "I wanna prove to them I can crush it."

The clip features Deborah introducing her roommate to mother, Whitley; what appears to an impending romance with the college football star; and Deborah finding her voice as she leads a movement on campus.

"You are forging your own legacy at Hillman," Whitley tells her daughter.

In addition to Whitley and Dwayne, played by Jasmine Guy and Kadeem Harrison, the trailer features original A Different World cast members Freddie Brooks (Cree Summer) and Ron Johnson (Darryl M. Bell).

Summer Walker and Method Man also make cameos.

A Different World premieres Sept. 24 on Netflix.
