PREVIEW

The Greenville coroner's office had already ruled Panettiere's death an accident, but police kept the investigation open until yesterday. "Based on the Medical Examiner's determination and the findings of the investigation, Hayden Panettiere's death has been ruled accidental," the Greenville Police Department shared in a statement to CNN. The ruling concludes the police investigation. Panettiere died on 16 August from a toxic mix of opioid fentanyl and other drugs, authorities revealed in September. The Heroes star's boyfriend, Brian Hickerson, and his brother, Zach Hickerson, were both present at the South Carolina apartment where she was pronounced dead.
