Hayden Panettiere, who starred in ‘Heroes’ and ‘Nashville,’ dies at 36

Hayden Panettiere, a onetime child star who soared to fame in the TV shows “Heroes” and “Nashville” while enduring struggles with alcohol addiction and depression, has died. She was 36.

Police said Panettiere was found unresponsive in an apartment in Greenville, South Carolina, shortly before 2 p.m. Sunday. Lifesaving measures were performed but she was pronounced dead at the scene.

No cause of death has been determined and Panettiere's death remains under investigation. An autopsy found no signs of trauma and police said officers saw no signs of foul play.

The television and film performer, who would have turned 37 on Friday, had been open about her private battles and wrote at length about them in the memoir, “This Is Me,” which came out in May. She described lifelong scars from her early fame, and acknowledged being addicted to alcohol and enduring postpartum depression after the birth of her daughter, Kaya, with Ukrainian boxer Wladimir Klitschko in 2014.

Bombers need all three phases to step up in second half: O’Shea

Highlight-reel catches are a daily occurrence for Ontaria Wilson at practice.

The Winnipeg Blue Bombers receiver also makes jaw-dropping grabs on game days — just go back to last October in Edmonton when Wilson made arguably the most impressive play of the 2025 campaign.

For those that need a reminder, quarterback Zach Collaros underthrew a pass to the end zone that ricocheted off a pair of defenders. Wilson reached out with his right hand and batted the ball up twice while falling to the turf before securing it for an incredible 35-yard score.

That was likely the hardest touchdown of his career, and he should’ve had his easiest in last Friday’s 33-21 win over the Ottawa Redblacks at home — but he dropped it.

Men accused in commercial break-in spree were wearing ankle bracelets

Two men in electric ankle bracelets who were being monitored by justice officials have been accused in a two-month spree of commercial break-ins, vehicle thefts and other property crimes.

City police have charged one of the suspects and are searching for the second.

About $140,000 worth of property, including trailers, lawn equipment, motorcycles and bicycles, was reported stolen in 13 incidents in Winnipeg and the Rural Municipality of Headingley between April 20 and June 28, the Winnipeg Police Service said.

Both suspects were wearing electronic monitoring bracelets during that time.
