When Hayden Panettiere's brother died unexpectedly of an undiagnosed heart condition last year, the actor said it was like losing a part of herself.
Panettiere, 35, said that in the days after her brother's death, her body reacted in a way she had never seen before."Within days, I basically just like ballooned — ballooned out," she said, adding that"stress and cortisol" can make changes to the body."I had to see horrific paparazzi pictures of myself coming out of Jansen’s funeral, which happened in a very private place, and it was shocking," she said.
"My body just started reacting, not just from the working out. It allowed me to release the stress, the high expectations I’d always put on myself," she said. "I will always be heartbroken about it. I will never be able to get over it," she said."No matter how many years go by, I will never get over his loss.""It is with great sorrow we share the tremendous, untimely loss of our beautiful Jansen," the statement said."Though it offers little solace, the Medical Examiner reported Jansen’s sudden passing was due to cardiomegaly coupled with aortic valve complications.
"Jansen’s heart could be seen in his eyes, and his charm in his brilliant, engaging smile; his soul in his masterful and revealing paintings, and the joy of life in his dry wit," his family said in the statement."His charisma, warmth, compassion for others, and his creative spirit will live forever in our hearts and in the hearts of all whom he encountered."
