Hayden Panettiere, the actress best known for "Heroes" and "Nashville," died on Sunday aged 36 at a residence in Greenville, South Carolina, where she had been staying temporarily. Her death has drawn renewed attention to comments she made in the months before she died, in which she spoke publicly about her estrangement from her mother and former manager, Lesley Vogel, placing her among several former child stars whose relationships with their "momagers" became strained in adulthood.

Authorities have not yet released a confirmed cause of death, though a preliminary autopsy reportedly showed no signs of trauma. Fox News notes Panettiere's case alongside those of other young performers who have spoken about difficult dynamics with parents who also managed their careers, framing her story within a wider pattern seen among stars who grew up in the industry.
