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.”
