Summary
Greenville County's coroner said no toxicology findings or cause and manner of death have been released for Hayden Panettiere, 29 days after she was found dead in a Greenville apartment.
Chief Deputy Coroner Shelton England issued the statement after TMZ reported on the case, saying the office will email a release only when the findings are ready.
Police records from Aug. 16 show EMS performed prolonged CPR on Panettiere, 36, after a 911 call from boyfriend Brian Hickerson, and officers reported no obvious physical reason for her being unresponsive.
The report says Hickerson showed officers a bag of Panettiere's medications, though the list was redacted; police have said the preliminary investigation found no signs of foul play or suspicious circumstances.
The case remains under investigation by Greenville police and the coroner's office, with NBC previously reporting that the DEA had joined the inquiry.
