Описание: DEA Joins Investigation Into Hayden Panettiere’s Death Amid Overdose Concerns

The DEA has joined the investigation into Hayden Panettiere’s sudden death as authorities examine whether a drug overdose may have been involved. The agency is working with Greenville police and the coroner’s office after the actress was found unresponsive at a South Carolina Airbnb on Sunday. Narcan, a medication commonly used to reverse opioid overdoses, was reportedly found near where Panettiere died, although it remains unclear whether it was administered. Emergency responders attempted CPR and advanced life support before she was pronounced dead at 2:32 p.m. Panettiere, 36, was with her on-and-off boyfriend Brian Hickerson and his brother, Zach, at the time. A police report states that Brian showed officers a bag containing medications she had been taking. Panettiere had previously spoken openly about addiction and had struggled with alcohol and opioids. Her official cause of death has not been determined, while an autopsy reportedly found no signs of trauma.
