Jansen Panettiere, the brother of actress Hayden Panettiere, was discovered dead at the age of 28.

New details about Jansen Panettiere’s terrible and unexpected death have emerged, showing how the 28-year-old actor was discovered. Friends found Jansen’s body after he failed to show up for a meeting.

According to accounts, Jansen’s buddies “raced to his home” after he failed to show up for a business meeting he had booked. When one of his friends came to his residence, he discovered Jansen “sitting in a chair, unresponsive,” so he dialed 911 and began CPR.

According to a copy of the police report, officers spoke with Jansen and Hayden Panettiere’s father, Skip, who stated he spoke with his son the night before his death and admitted Jansen sounded “good.” His cause of death has yet to be determined.

According to rumors, Hayden Panettiere’s younger brother, Jansen Panettiere, died at 28. Jansen was discovered dead in his home in New York.

As of February 20, there is no evidence of foul play. His cause of death, however, is unknown at this time.

Around 5:30 p.m. on Sunday, police were called to the New York residence. Whether life-saving measures were taken or if Jansen was already dead when first responders arrived is unknown.

Jansen, like his sister, is a performer. The brother-sister combination collaborated on various projects in their early years, including Tiger Cruise and Racing Stripes.

While Jansen seems to have left the world of Hollywood several years ago, his social media shows that he was interested in abstract art and apparel design.

Jansen posted a selfie of himself and Hayden on Instagram three weeks ago. Hayden was photographed giving her younger brother a haircut in black and white.

“Not the first time she’s tried to cut my hair,” Jansen captioned the photo. Hayden enjoyed the post. The siblings appear to have been close.

Hayden has been gradually opening up about her battles with addiction and her job as a mother to a lovely little daughter. Hayden’s ex-husband currently has custody of their kid.

She revealed that in 2018 when she gave over custody of her kid, she was dealing with an alcohol and drug addiction. Panettiere believes that giving up control is the most excellent decision for Kaya right now.

“The best thing for my kid was to make sure she was okay, take care of myself, and make sure I could be a good mom to her. And that sometimes means letting go.”
