DEA Joins Hayden Panettiere Probe

The DEA has joined the Greenville City Police Department and the coroner’s office in investigating Hayden Panettiere’s death, including whether a drug overdose was involved. Panettiere, 36, was found unresponsive Sunday at an apartment in Greenville, South Carolina, after a 911 call placed by Brian Hickerson and his brother; medics found her in cardiac arrest. Police said there were no signs of foul play, and the coroner has not determined a cause or manner of death. Hickerson’s attorney said the investigation should proceed before conclusions are drawn.
