Summary
Law enforcement sources now believe Panettiere’s Aug. 16 death stemmed from a fentanyl overdose after she allegedly took an oxycodone pill laced with the synthetic opioid.
Los Angeles investigators are tracing the pill to a longtime dealer who allegedly supplied her with black-market prescription drugs, including oxycodone, and examining her relationship with that source.
Authorities say she reportedly took numerous pills on a flight from Los Angeles to South Carolina, then another oxycodone the morning she was found unresponsive at a Greenville home.
Toxicology results are still pending, leaving the official cause of death unconfirmed even as the drug-focused investigation has expanded across Los Angeles and South Carolina.
