Hayden Panettiere's brother Jansen is all-smiles in his haunting final social media post before being found dead aged 28 in his apartment over the weekend.

The Ice Age and Walking Dead star was found in his Nyack home in New York on Sunday afternoon and his cause of death is still currently unknown.

Jansen, five years Hayden's junior, appeared in multiple features throughout the early 00s, like Shia LaBeouf's TV show Even Stevens and a recurring role in Nickelodeon's The X's.

She is yet to publicly speak out about her sibling's shocking death, but one insider claims she is "inconsolable" at the news of Janson's tragic passing.

"He had been having a rough time lately with his career and he was dragged in so many directions," a source told DailyMail.com yesterday.

They added: "Hayden is just inconsolable. He was her best friend and her only brother. He was such a nice guy but he lived on the edge."

His final photo, uploaded to Instagram on February 8 shows him grinning as he showcased his love for graffiti, penning the apt caption: "Graffiti is illegal."

Girlfriend Catherine Michie was amongst those in the final post's comment section, saying: "The law can't stop Jansen Panettiere."

The late star often promoted his graffiti inspired artwork on social media and had a dedicated site for his creative endeavour - with some proceeds going to help those in Ukraine.

"I started painting my problems which became my solution. 3% of all purchases goes to #@weareallukrainians2022," the Instagram bio for Jensen's art page reads.

The Instagram profile includes snaps of graffiti-embellished trainers, backpacks and Jensen proudly posing by some of his artwork.

The website for the r.a.n.e brand explains: "I AM a good person. I don’t do anything illegal or at least I don’t do illegal things that hurt people in front of me, if that makes sense.

"I’ve done drugs but I don’t steal. Not to say that anyone that’s ever stolen something is a bad person and far from it. Meaning I have my moments like everyone else.

"I was frustrated with the whole acting thing so I would take it out on weird things like clothes, like ugggggggg sneezing into a white shirt 'try to get that stain out!' Drop shirt."
