Hayden Panettiere's death was an unfortunate accident

Hayden Panettiere, 36, was found unconscious in a home in Greenville, South Carolina, on August 16. Despite receiving medical help, the actress died.

The Greenville Police Department announced that it has concluded its investigation into the actress' death. The tragedy was considered an accident. Reference was made to the findings of the investigation and the medical examiner's ruling.

Third party involvement excluded

According to the Greenville County Coroner's Office report published in late September, third-party involvement was ruled out. The cause of the woman's death were the toxic effects of, among others, fentanyl, Xanax and several other substances.

The coroner's office also said emergency services treated a woman in "cardiac arrest." The autopsy did not reveal any injuries that could have contributed to her death.

Media reports also indicate that the US Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) was to participate in the investigation. However, it is not known whether this investigation has ended.

The actress's one-time partner, Brian Hickerson, and his brother Zack were with her when emergency services arrived, according to a police report from the day of Hayden Panettiere's death. Brian Hickerson admitted to using violence against the 36-year-old.
