A neighbor of Hayden Panettiere, Mia Terrazas, reported witnessing the actress being taken from her West Hollywood apartment on a gurney by firefighters on two occasions, in July 2023 and January 2024. Terrazas noted that Hayden appeared to have bruises and was in the presence of her then-partner, Brian Hickerson, during both incidents.
The relationship between Hayden and Brian was previously marked by domestic violence allegations, with Brian having pleaded no contest to felony charges in 2021. Following Hayden's recent death at age 36, authorities are investigating the circumstances surrounding her passing, including the reported incidents.
