Actress Hayden Panettiere died at age 36 after emergency responders found her unresponsive at a South Carolina residence, according to reports.

An acquaintance called 911 after discovering Panettiere unresponsive at a Greenville home on Aug. 16. Emergency crews then arrived and tried to revive her.

Medical personnel reportedly performed CPR and used advanced life-support measures during the emergency response.

Authorities Investigate Panettiere’s Death

The Greenville Police Department and Greenville County Coroner’s Office are investigating Panettiere’s death.

Reports say emergency dispatchers mentioned a possible overdose and cardiac arrest. However, officials have not confirmed an overdose as the cause of death.

That detail remains unconfirmed. An emergency call alone cannot determine how someone died.

So far, authorities have found no signs of foul play or suspicious activity.

An autopsy should help determine the cause of death. It may also provide more details about what happened. Officials could release more information after they review the findings.

Emergency Crews Attempted Resuscitation

Emergency crews reportedly tried to save Panettiere after finding her unresponsive.

Medical staff later pronounced her dead at about 2:32 p.m., according to PEOPLE.

Meanwhile, investigators are reviewing medical records and other evidence. They are working to learn what led to her death.

Officials have not yet released a final cause of death.

Panettiere Built a Successful Acting Career

Panettiere started acting as a child. She later built a successful career in TV and film.

She became well known for playing Claire Bennet on Heroes. Later, she starred as Juliette Barnes on Nashville.

Her work on Nashville earned her two Golden Globe nominations.

Panettiere also appeared in films such as Remember the Titans and the Scream series.

Since her death, former co-stars and others in the entertainment world have shared tributes.

Investigation Remains Ongoing

Authorities continue to investigate Panettiere’s death. At this point, officials have not confirmed the reported overdose or announced a final cause.

The coroner’s findings could provide additional answers. Until officials release those findings, investigators will continue to assess the available evidence.

Panettiere leaves behind her daughter, Kaya, whom she shares with former professional boxer Wladimir Klitschko.

Further information could emerge as authorities complete their investigation.
