Hayden Panettiere's representative told Us Weekly that the actress's death remains under investigation by the Greenville County Coroner’s Office, contradicting reports from other outlets suggesting otherwise. The rep stated that recent unverified claims about a fentanyl-laced oxycodone pill are speculative and should not be considered accurate until official toxicology results are released. DEA agents are investigating text messages between Panettiere and her alleged drug dealer who supplied the pills she allegedly took, including those found during a search of her Los Angeles home last month.

Story summary
In November 2023, Hayden Panettiere's death was under investigation by the Greenville County Coroner’s Office, pending toxicology results. Despite reports from outlets like TMZ suggesting she died after consuming an oxycodone pill laced with fentanyl, her representative told Us Weekly that these claims are unverified and based on hearsay. The rep emphasized the need for patience while awaiting official findings, noting that definitive answers will be provided once toxicology results are completed. TMZ reported earlier that Panettiere allegedly bought several drugs from a long-time dealer in Los Angeles before flying to South Carolina, where she passed away.
