It's been three days since Hayden Panettiere was found dead from cardiac arrest at age 36, police confirming that her on-and-off boyfriend Brian Hickerson was with her at the time of her death. The two had a tumultuous relationship that led to him serving time in jail on charges relating to domestic violence. Authorities were seen outside a home linked to Brian, reportedly for a welfare check unrelated to Hayden's suspected overdose.

Just days before Hayden's death, a judge denied Brian's attempt to reduce his felony charges and expunge them from his record.
