had flown to South Carolina Saturday with her on and off on and off again. Boyfriend Brian Hickerson.
They've had quite a history together. Fans know a lot about, you know, the abuse allegations and
kind of where they stand. But what we're learning now is that Hayden and Brian have actually
been seeing each other. We've been told that they were kind of advised to not really be
seen together, that Brian actually felt like he was bad for business. Um, and it's a little
unclear. Of course, if he was there when she was found, we're told that he had been staying
in the area, had family in South Carolina, but kind of just putting the pieces together exactly
what had happened. You know, Hayden was just on a whole press tour for her new memoir where
she talked about, you know, looking forward to living more life and more opportunities that
she would be getting and kind of bouncing back as a role model for her daughter. So
it's a really tragic case. How old is her daughter? Do you know?
Yeah, her daughter is about 11 12. I believe currently. Yeah, I know her husband or I guess
ex fiance had posted just overnight talking about the passing of Hayden. It was so are
we learning any more about like what exactly led up to this or what happened in that house?
Yeah. I mean, all we know as of now is that first responders did respond to a cardiac arrest and
they did perform extensive CPR and kind of came to the preliminary conclusion of a possible
overdose. But of course, need to wait on those autopsy results. And we're told that it has been
completed. So we'll see. You know, you guys have done a great job covering the story. I think
yesterday we ran some photographs that you guys exclusively had at TMZ of the scene.
And I believe you guys had reported as well. You found Narcan at their authorities found it there.
Yeah, it's unclear exactly who administered the Narcan. But we are told that there was
Narcan found on scene after, you know, Hayden was removed from the apartment.
We're just kind of looking back at some of her photos. I mean, she was so beautiful,
had such a great career. But like, obviously, there was a lot going on behind the scenes that
nobody was really privy to. It's so sad. Yeah, it's really tragic, especially because it felt
like she was just on her like, up and up. Yeah, like on her like, second career in life type
thing. Right. Alexa, thank you so much. You guys have done a great job with this investigation
and have a great day. We'll see you Thursday. Thanks. You as well. Thank you. Heartbreaking
for her daughter. 11 years old. A little tween.
