Injured Hayden Panettiere was taken out of LA apartment on gurney twice while living with Brian Hickerson, neighbor claims

Key Points:

• Hayden Panettiere was seen by her neighbor being taken out of her Los Angeles apartment on a gurney by firefighters on two occasions in 2023 and 2024, with visible bruises and red spots, amid her tumultuous relationship with Brian Hickerson, who was reportedly present both times.
• Panettiere’s neighbor and her daughter reported frequent hostile arguments and signs of abuse, while Hickerson had a documented history of domestic violence charges, including felony convictions and a protective order that expired in April 2024.
• Despite the protective order, Hickerson was repeatedly seen on the apartment premises, leading to multiple calls to law enforcement and warnings from the homeowners association, which were later removed after claims Hickerson was entering drug rehab.
• Panettiere died in June 2024 at age 36 from a suspected overdose at an Airbnb in Greenville, South Carolina; the investigation is ongoing with no initial signs of foul play, and Hickerson and his brother attempted CPR before emergency responders arrived.
• Panettiere publicly discussed her abusive relationship with Hickerson in her 2024 memoir, describing a cycle of violence and reconciliation, while Hickerson admitted to abuse and addiction struggles but made disturbing remarks about his past behavior on social media.
