Daily Mail · 37 minutes ago

Hayden Panettiere was reportedly released from a Malibu rehabilitation facility only weeks before her accidental overdose death, aged 36, in South Carolina. A medical examiner’s report indicates that fentanyl and other drugs caused her death, highlighting the continuing risks faced after substance-abuse treatment and relapse.

Panettiere was found unresponsive at an Airbnb after reportedly being seen applying make-up earlier that morning. Investigators found pressed blue pills containing fentanyl, a straw and white powder; Brian Hickerson allegedly administered two doses of Narcan before calling emergency services. The report also described a history of drug, alcohol and nitrous oxide abuse, while her father said she had planned to celebrate her 37th birthday before visiting her daughter in Ukraine.

  • Panettiere died accidentally from the toxic effects of multiple drugs.
  • She had left rehab in Malibu weeks before her death.
  • Fentanyl-laced pills were found near her body.
