Brian Hickerson releases statement after Hayden Panettiere's death; DEA joins investigation

Hayden Panettiere, an actress who spent the better part of her life in the public eye, has died under circumstances now drawing the attention of both local police and federal drug enforcement authorities. Her death arrives as a quiet reckoning — not only for those who loved her, but for an industry that has long asked much of its youngest performers while offering little in return. As investigators piece together what happened, her story has become a mirror held up to Hollywood's enduring failure to protect the children it makes famous.
