I gasped out loud when I saw this morning. Absolutely heartbreaking. Her poor daughter! She just came out with her memoir, too.

save the cheerleader save the world. :(

Holy shit. Way too young. That’s very sad. RIP.

But what does it have to do with gaming?

For anyone else who has never heard of her:

Beginning as a child star, with a long career in both TV and film, Panettiere is remembered for her roles as Claire Bennet on the hit series "Heroes" and as Juliette Barnes on the musical drama "Nashville."

She also starred in "Remember the Titans," "Raising Helen," "Ice Princess" and "Scream 4."

Oh shit, that's sad. She died so young, and on top of that her daughter only turns 12 this year :-(

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hayden_Panettiere - I didn't know her name, but instantly recognized her face as Clair from Heroes series.

rip, "save the cheerleader, save the world"

That fucking sucks

Damn she was my first celebrity crush

I couldn't believe the headline at first. What a tragedy. Seems like she had a lot going on

This one hit a little harder than usual...

After I heard about this, I immediately went and listened to her song from Cinderella 3

That sucks. I remember some years back speculation that she was suffering from PTSD from abuse.

Just last week I started rewatching season 1 of Heros to see if it still held up after all these years. It's not perfect but it's still damn good. Sad to hear about her struggles.

"Save the cheerleader, save the world."

Seems about par for the course lately. :/

So was it suicide? I know she was dealing with alcoholism and depression.

Discussion about it here.

That's awful. Poor girls been through a lot.

I'm just devastated to lose a person this young. I know it happens all the time, to younger people even. Times like this make you think about it. Her poor parents, losing two of their kids so young. Her child losing her mom. I just hope her family has good support. May she rest in peace.

RIP

It really saddens me to see so many evil people live long happy lives, then see victims of abuse and struggle like her die so young 😔. I truly wish there's an afterlife to bring us justice.

I'm shocked. She was so young.

Holy crap. RIP
