Reese Witherspoon's father hospitalised after poolside incident in Nashville: Report
The father of the woman went missing on November 8, shortly after landing in LA.
The woman's whereabouts remain unfound.
Hannah was travelling to New York for a concert which her family reported was on her "bucket list."
Her family told BBC that since her disappearance, they have received strange text messages from her mobile phone. In texts, she was reported saying she had been "tricked pretty much into giving away all my funds" to "someone I thought I loved".
After her missing report, she was spotted a few times in a mall in LA on November 10 and further was seen in a CCTV video with an unknown person at a metro station.
Before his death, the father talked to media where he said, "We’re just trying to get us as much information as we can. Everything is just a blur it seems, because I haven’t slept well since I’ve heard the news."
