Emergency dispatch audio released by multiple outlets says first responders were called to Hayden Panettiere’s home in South Carolina after she was found unresponsive, with dispatchers mentioning “cardiac arrest” and “overdose.” The audio indicates paramedics arrive as officials assess her condition.
The outlets describe Panettiere as having a history of public discussions about substance use and addiction. Coverage also focuses on what the dispatchers’ language implies about the initial concerns at the scene, though it does not establish a final cause of death.
While all reports rely on the same emerging emergency audio, they differ mainly in emphasis. Some outlets foreground the dispatch references to “overdose,” while others also highlight that the recording includes context around “cardiac arrest” as crews respond. None of the sources presented here provides definitive toxicology or an official medical determination of cause of death, only the indications captured in the 911 call.
