- Jansen passed away over the weekend in New York City.
- No foul play was believed to have been involved, a source said TMZ.
Hayden Panettiere brother Jansen, who was five years Hayden’s junior, adopted her Hollywood career. He made appearances on shows like Even Stevens, The X’s, Tiger Cruise, Racing Stripes, The Martial Arts Child, The Walking Dead, Perfect Game, and How High 2 throughout the early 2000s. He had an appearance in the Christmas movie Love and Love Not in 2022.
Though Jansen was best known for his time in Hollywood, he was also passionate about art. The actor’s Instagram is full of colorful portraits and abstract pieces. His latest upload appeared to be a portrait of his girlfriend, Catherine Michie. He captioned a photo of Michie standing next to the artwork with a blue heart emoji.
