Police have ruled Hayden Panettiere’s death accidental, ending the local investigation into the US actress, according to reports from the BBC and Rolling Stone.
Panettiere, known for her roles in Heroes and Nashville, died in August, the BBC reported. The supplied reporting does not specify the year or exact date of her death.
The BBC reported that her death resulted from the toxic effects of fentanyl, Xanax and several other drugs. That account is attributed to the BBC; the supplied Rolling Stone report does not independently state the reported cause.
Rolling Stone reported that the Greenville Police Department closed the investigation. The available evidence confirms the accidental ruling and the end of the local probe, but does not provide a direct statement or document from the department or establish that the death occurred in Greenville.
