Hayden Panettiere has been left "inconsolable" after the news of her brother Jansen's death spread like wildfire. While the 28-year-old's cause of death is still unknown, more information has been revealed about his mental health, including that he suffered from "terrible anxiety and depression," RadarOnline.com has learned.
As this outlet reported, Hayden's only sibling died in an apartment near Palisades, New York, on Sunday. No foul play is suspected.
According to a source, Jansen — who was an actor and graffiti artist — was "having a rough time lately with his career," with the pal telling Daily Mail he felt as if he was "being dragged in so many directions."
According to a biography on Jansen's website, he got into art after giving up on the Hollywood lifestyle. "After spending time in LA as an adult he was ridden with terrible anxiety and depression," his website stated — adding that Jansen would later use art to heal himself.
"This period in his life eventually produced a spiritual clarity that drove him to start painting his problems, one by one. With more than 50 pieces, Jansen continues to heal himself as well as others with his visceral and emotive work," his biography read.
As RadarOnline.com reported, Jansen admitted to dabbling in drugs.

"I was frustrated with the whole acting thing so I would take it out on weird things things like clothes," he continued.
