Circulating claims state that actress Hayden Panettiere died of cardiac arrest in Greenville, South Carolina, following a 911 response on Sunday, with resuscitation efforts unsuccessful and cause pending. These reports cite her roles in Heroes, Nashville, and Scream, plus a recent memoir and her brother Jansen's 2023 death from heart issues. However, real-world records show Panettiere alive, indicating the claims likely stem from misinformation or a hoax recycling her brother's death.
