The reason of death of her younger brother Jansen, who passed away last week at the age of 28, has been disclosed by actress Hayden Panettiere.
According to accounts, Jansen was discovered on Sunday, February 19, inside his Nyack, New York, residence.
Jansen, an actor in his own right, starred in a number of movies and TV shows, including How High 2 and The Walking Dead. He also appeared in The X’s, Tiger Cruise, Racing Stripes, The Martial Arts Child, and The Walking Dead.
Also, he played lead roles in Disney Channel original films and Nickelodeon made-for-TV movies. For his performance in “The Last Day of Summer,” he was nominated for a Young Artist Award in 2008.
According to sources, the 28-year-old sent his final photo to social media just a few weeks before he passed away.
Apparently, Jansen has been “having a tough time lately with his profession,” an insider told the Daily Mail.
He had been struggling professionally recently and was being pulled in a lot of different directions, the person claimed.
Hayden is simply distraught. He was both her only sibling and dearest friend. He was a really good guy, but he lived dangerously.
Hayden Panettiere, well-known for her appearances in acclaimed TV shows like Heroes and Nashville, and the rest of Jansen’s family finally spoke out about the untimely death of Jansen in a new statement released today.
The statement reads: “While it offers little consolation, the Medical Examiner concluded Jansen’s untimely departure was due to cardiomegaly (enlarged heart), coupled with aortic valve issues,” according to the Mirror.
“We really appreciate the outpouring of love and support towards our family as we navigate this unspeakable loss, and ask that you grant us privacy during this time of grieving,” the statement read.
“Jansen, you are very loved by us and will always be in our hearts.”
Peace be with you, Jansen. It is extremely tragic to lose someone at such a young age.
