Brian Hickerson performed CPR on Hayden Panettiere, gave Narcan, his brother claims

Brian Hickerson’s brother, Zach Hickerson, claimed in a new interview that Brian gave his girlfriend Hayden Panettiere CPR and administered Narcan in the frantic moments after she was discovered unresponsive.

“Brian gave her Narcan,” Zach told TMZ on Friday, noting that he’d gone to the Greenville, South Carolina Airbnb where the “Heroes” actress and Brian were staying.

After waking Brian up from a nap, he claimed to the outlet, they found Hayden unconscious, and Zach called emergency services while Brian gave her Narcan — a medication for opioid overdoes.

“There are a lot of assumptions, speculations and accusations currently swirling,” Zach told the outlet.

“The truth will come out as the authorities complete and release additional details from the investigation. And that is important because the people who loved and adored Hayden deserve the truth.”

Zach continued, “At this time, I want to clarify my involvement in effort to keep the focus on the fact that we lost one of the most precious individuals on this earth and to allow those that cared about her to mourn without additional noise, chaos, and misinformation being created and propagated by the media as well as the public.”

Zach detailed the day of the “Nashville” star’s death as well.  “On Sunday morning, I woke up at my Airbnb, got dressed and went to Church,” he recalled to the outlet.

“I exchanged messages that morning with Brian on my way. We planned on us all getting lunch and playing indoor golf after the service.”

“When I left church I called and texted both of them,” Zach went on, noting that when he “didn’t reach Brian or Hayden, I just assumed maybe they fell back asleep so I drove over and went to the Airbnb.”

Zach told the outlet that he “knew the code to the building but not the door code to the AirBnb” before detailing the moment he came upon the former child star.

“I knocked loudly which apparently woke Brian up from a nap they were both taking on the pull out couch bed in the living room,” he explained.

“When we went in and tried to wake Hayden up for lunch, we realized she was unconscious.”

Zach said he “immediately called 911” while “Brian gave her Narcan” before they “jointly performed CPR while 911 was on speaker until Fire and EMS arrived.”

“At that point we watched as they tried every measure possible to save her life,” he recalled.

Zach mourned the actress, telling the outlet, “I am beyond heartbroken and devastated by this tragic and traumatic loss.”

“Hayden was one of my dearest and closest friends that I loved and cared about for the last 8 years,” he added.
