\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n Hayden Panettiere<\/strong><\/a>\u2018s death remains under investigation, and a new report is revealing what authorities reportedly believe may have happened.<\/p>\n The Nashville<\/em> and Heroes<\/em> actress passed away on August 16<\/a> at the age of 36 after she was found unresponsive at a residence in Greenville, South Carolina.<\/p>\n Nearly a month later, law enforcement sources are claiming that investigators are looking into whether Hayden<\/strong> unknowingly took an oxycodone pill that was laced with fentanyl.<\/p>\n According to TMZ<\/em><\/a>, multiple law enforcement sources with direct knowledge of the investigation say their current working theory is that Hayden<\/strong> took the pill on the morning of her passing.<\/p>\n The outlet\u2019s sources claim Hayden<\/strong> had obtained oxycodone and other black-market prescription drugs from a longtime dealer in Los Angeles before traveling to South Carolina.<\/p>\n She reportedly took several of the drugs during her flight from Los Angeles to South Carolina the day before her passing. Investigators now believe an oxycodone pill she took the following morning may have contained fentanyl, according to TMZ<\/em>.<\/p>\n However, that has not been established as Hayden<\/strong>\u2018s official cause of death. Toxicology results remain pending, and TMZ<\/em>\u2018s law enforcement sources cautioned that the results will be key to determining whether their theory is correct.<\/p>\n The outlet also reports that the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) in Los Angeles is investigating Hayden<\/strong>\u2018s alleged connection to the dealer and attempting to determine where the pill came from.<\/p>\n The DEA was previously confirmed<\/a> to be involved in the investigation into Hayden<\/strong>\u2018s passing. Authorities in South Carolina and federal investigators<\/a> in Los Angeles have reportedly been pursuing leads as they try to determine what happened.<\/p>\n Earlier this month, it was also reported that Hayden\u2019s on-and-off boyfriend Brian Hickerson<\/strong><\/a> met with DEA officials as part of the ongoing investigation. People<\/a><\/em> reported that investigators have interviewed other individuals as well.<\/p>\n Brian<\/strong> was with Hayden<\/strong> when she became unresponsive and reportedly administered Narcan<\/a> before paramedics arrived.<\/p>\n An autopsy was completed following Hayden<\/strong>\u2018s passing, and the coroner previously confirmed that there were \u201cno signs of trauma\u201d<\/a> that contributed to her death.<\/p>\n Her official cause and manner of death remain pending further investigation.<\/p>\n Our continued thoughts are with Hayden<\/strong>\u2018s loved ones.<\/p>\n There is also an update about Brian Hickerson<\/strong>, who was just detained<\/a> after an alleged bar brawl, and shouted something related to Hayden<\/strong>\u2018s passing while in handcuffs.<\/p>\n Posted To:Brian Hickerson<\/a> Hayden Panettiere<\/a><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\nWhat Do Investigators Believe Happened to Hayden Panettiere?<\/h3>\n
