Jansen Panettiere Died:
The 28-year-old actor Jansen Panettiere passed away last week from an enlarged heart, his family said on Monday.
At his Nyack, New York, home on February 19, the younger brother of “Scream” star Hayden Panettiere passed away.
According to his family’s statement to ABC News, “Jansen’s heart could be seen in his eyes, and his charm in his dazzling, captivating grin; his soul could be discovered in his skillful and illuminating paintings and the love of life in his caustic humor.” “His warmth, charm, empathy for others, and inventive spirit will always be cherished in our hearts and the hearts of everyone he came into contact with.”
The family went on, “The Medical Examiner reported that Jansen’s sudden passing was due to cardiomegaly (enlarged heart), coupled with aortic valve complications, though this news offers little solace.”
According to the police record that The Post was able to get from the Orangetown Police Department, Panettiere was discovered by a friend sitting erect in a chair and not breathing. His companion gave him CPR and dialed 911.
The article claims that Panettiere’s friends started to worry after she skipped a business meeting earlier in the day.
Panettiere was discovered unconscious and “cold to the touch” on the floor of his living room when emergency medical personnel arrived at approximately five o’clock in the evening, according to the report. Not long later, it was declared that he was deceased.
After speaking with his kid the previous evening, Alan Panettiere, his father, informed authorities that the boy “sounded okay.” The Post asked The Medical Examiner to validate the family’s declaration, but the official rejected it. Police did, however, affirm that “no obvious signs of trauma observed.”
Jansen Panettiere: Who was He?
Panettiere had a long Hollywood career and was an actor in his own right. Numerous 2000s successes, including “Ice Age: The Meltdown,” “Blue’s Clues,” and “Robots,” were voiced by him. In 2019, he appeared on a single episode of “The Walking Dead.”
Jansen collaborated with his 33-year-old elder sister Hayden on the “Racing Stripes” family comedy in 2005 and the Disney Channel original film “Tiger Cruise” in 2004.
In addition, he provided the voice of Truman X for Nickelodeon’s animated television series “The X’s,” which ran from 2005 to 2006.
Panettiere frequently posted images of his artwork, which included vibrant, abstract prints, on his Instagram profile, which is still open to the public. In addition, he painted other things like coats and shoes.
He shared a photo of himself with a little smile, taken on January 24, while his elder sister attempted to give him a haircut on Instagram. He captioned the photo, saying, “This isn’t the first haircut she’s tried to give me.”
Hayden has had personal hardships. Her former partner, Wladimir Klitschko, gave their eight-year-old daughter Kaya full custody. Panettiere claimed that as she battled an alcohol and drug addiction, she decided to give up custody.
Hayden told People last year, “It was the hardest thing I could do.” But the most important thing I could do for my baby was to make sure she was alright, look after myself, and ensure that I could be an excellent mother to her. And occasionally, that calls for letting go.
When she was barely 15 years old, she told the source that she was handed “happy pills” before walking the red carpet. She also admitted to heavy drinking and occasionally using opiates during her career.
After giving birth to Kaya, she spent eight months in treatment. Panettiere disclosed that she had also looked into postpartum depression therapy.
The “Nashville” actress began dating Brian Hickerson in 2018, and in 2021, he was given a 45-day jail term for two felonies related to domestic abuse.
In March 2022, the two fought in public at the Sunset Marquis in Los Angeles. Hickerson acknowledged their breakup months later, but they were seen traveling together in November.
