Hayden Panettiere’s Remains Ready for Release to Family After Death at 36 Anonymous (ID: aRFA2GVM) 08/18/26(Tue)21:00:23 No.541021694

Hayden Panettiere's family has been notified by the South Carolina coroner's office that the actress's body is ready for release following her tragic death at the age of 36, TMZ reports.

A representative for the Greenville County Coroner's Office told the outlet that they have "advised Hayden's parents that her body is ready to be turned over to them," but the family has yet to "choose a funeral home."

"Once the family picks a funeral home, then Hayden's remains will be officially turned over to them, according to the rep," the outlet further details.

Now that the autopsy is complete, the coroner is also conducting toxicology tests, as the cause and manner of death are still pending. The representative told TMZ that these tests take between 8 and 12 weeks to complete. The office is testing for alcohol, medications, and illicit and non-illicit drugs.

Panettiere was found dead on Sunday, Aug. 16, in a Greenville, South Carolina, residence by a friend who called 911 and reported an "unresponsive female" in "cardiac arrest." First responders administered CPR to the actress, and TMZ also reported that Narcan was found in the apartment. She was ultimately pronounced dead at the scene.

"It is with profound sadness that we share the tragic passing of our beloved Hayden," her father, Skip Panettiere, told ABC News on Sunday. "She was an incredible light and a force of nature who brought immeasurable love and joy to all who knew her — and to the millions who watched her onscreen."

He also asked for privacy at this time "as our family takes time to process this unimaginable loss."

Panettiere is best known for her roles in numerous different projects, including "Heroes," the musical drama "Nashville," "Remember the Titans," "Raising Helen," "Ice Princess," and "Scream 4."
