South Carolina police have ruled actor Hayden Panettiere’s death accidental and closed their investigation, citing the medical examiner’s determination and their own findings.
Panettiere, 36, was found unresponsive at a residence in Greenville on Aug. 16. Emergency crews attempted advanced cardiac life-support measures after responding to a report of cardiac arrest, but she died at the scene. The Greenville County Coroner’s Office said an autopsy found no signs of trauma.
The coroner previously determined that Panettiere died from the toxic effects of multiple drugs, including fentanyl, and classified the death as an accidental overdose. The BBC reported that Xanax, the muscle relaxant methocarbamol and the antipsychotic medication quetiapine were also found in her system.
The Greenville Police Department said Wednesday that it had concluded its inquiry based on the medical examiner’s report and the investigation’s findings. Police had previously said there were no indications of foul play or suspicious circumstances.
The Drug Enforcement Administration reportedly participated in the inquiry into the circumstances of Panettiere’s death. It was not clear whether the federal agency’s involvement had also ended.
