Hayden Panettiere reportedly died from fentanyl-laced oxycodone, TMZ reports
Heroes star Hayden Panettiere reportedly died. She took oxycodone laced with fentanyl. A long-time drug dealer in Los Angeles had supplied it.
The 36-year-old actor died in August. She consumed a black-market oxycodone pill.
It was believed to be laced with fentanyl. Law enforcement sources told this to TMZ.
A Los Angeles dealer had illegally supplied her with prescription drugs. She had taken several drugs on a flight to South Carolina.
This was the day before her death. But authorities linked her death to the fentanyl-laced oxycodone.
She took it the next morning. The US Drug Enforcement Administration has launched an investigation.
They want to trace the fatal medication back to the dealer. In the weeks before her death, Panettiere struggled with severe pain.
It was in her lower body and made walking very difficult. The condition was unexplained.
