The coroner found no trauma, and toxicology tests are still pending as investigators work to determine the cause and manner of death.
- On August 16, Hayden Panettiere was found unresponsive at a South Carolina apartment; an autopsy confirmed trauma did not contribute to her death, though investigations remain ongoing.

- Zach Hickerson discovered Panettiere unresponsive while Brian was asleep in another room; the brothers called 911, and emergency responders pronounced her dead at 2:31 pm.
- Authorities have not accused either brother of wrongdoing, though police reports confirm Zach Hickerson was present at the apartment for reasons that remain unclear.
- Estranged mother Lesley Vogel told NBC News that Brian had not been a positive influence; three questions remain unresolved: why Zach was there, what happened immediately before, and the cause of death.
