What happened
A coroner's report has been released identifying the cause of death of actress Hayden Panettiere. Newsweek published coverage of the report's findings. Panettiere, 35, was best known for her roles in the NBC series Heroes and the ABC drama Nashville. No further details about the report's specific findings, the date of death, or the jurisdiction of the coroner are available from the single source in this story set. That is the wire version. One outlet has it. There is not yet enough coverage to identify how the story is being framed across the spectrum.
What to watch
If major outlets — AP, CNN, the Times — file on the coroner's report within the next 24 hours, watch whether they include the specific cause listed or describe it only in general terms. Celebrity death reporting has a consistent pattern of softening clinical language; whether that holds here will be the first real framing signal.
