Nashville star found unresponsive

Actress Hayden Panettiere, thirty-six, died in August after she was found unresponsive at an apartment in Greenville, South Carolina.

Five drugs found in her system

The Greenville County Coroner's Office ruled her death an accidental overdose from fentanyl, four-ANPP, alprazolam, methocarbamol, and quetiapine. Fentanyl is the most likely to result in overdose death.

No signs of trauma found

The autopsy found no signs of trauma that would have contributed to Panettiere's death. She had been released from a drug rehab center in Malibu, California, not long before she died.

Mother disputes accidental ruling

Panettiere's mother, Lesley Vogel, said the accidental overdose ruling does not exonerate the supplier of the lethal dose. She called her daughter a fighter transparent about her addictions.

“The loss of Hayden is palpable; grief permeates the soul and it will live with those who loved her forever.”

Police find fentanyl-laced pills

At the apartment where Panettiere died, police found blue pressed pills and a straw testing positive for fentanyl on a table, and white powdery substance in a sunglasses case in her suitcase.

DEA investigates fentanyl source

The Drug Enforcement Administration is investigating whether the fentanyl came from South Carolina or if Panettiere brought it from California. She flew from Los Angeles to South Carolina the day before her death.
