Description
Greenville police have closed their investigation into the death of actor Hayden Panettiere after determining it was accidental, per CBS News.
The department said Wednesday that it reached its conclusion based on the medical examiner’s findings and its own investigation. No charges were announced.
Panettiere, 36, died Aug. 16 after emergency crews were called to an apartment in Greenville, South Carolina. First responders attempted advanced life-saving measures, but she was pronounced dead at the scene.
The Greenville County Coroner’s Office previously ruled that Panettiere died from the toxic effects of fentanyl, 4-ANPP, alprazolam, methocarbamol and quetiapine. The manner of death was ruled accidental, and the autopsy found no trauma that contributed to her death.
Police previously said their preliminary investigation found no evidence of foul play or suspicious circumstances. Brian Hickerson, Panettiere’s on-and-off boyfriend, and his brother, Zach Hickerson, were at the apartment and called 911, according to a police report obtained by CBS News.
