Hayden Panettiere’s sudden death sparked accusations and painful questions about what happened in her final hours.

Now, her boyfriend’s brother has revealed his account of what unfolded inside the Airbnb where the actress was found unresponsive Aug.

16.

In a lengthy statement to TMZ, Zach Hickerson pushed back against speculation surrounding Panettiere’s death, saying the truth would emerge as authorities completed their investigation.

He said he wanted to clarify his involvement while allowing her loved ones to grieve without misinformation and added scrutiny.

HAYDEN PANETTIERE DEAD AT 36 "On Sunday morning, I woke up at my Airbnb, got dressed and went to Church.

I exchanged messages that morning with Brian on my way," he told the outlet.

"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 said.

"When I didn’t reach Brian or Hayden, I just assumed maybe they fell back asleep, so I drove over and went to the Airbnb.

When I got there, I knew the code to the building but not the door code to the AirBnb.

"I knocked loudly, which apparently woke Brian up from a nap they were both taking on the pullout couch bed in the living room," he said.

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

"I immediately called 911, and Brian gave her Narcan," Zach said.
