The announcement by local police follows a coroner’s report last month that ruled her death an accident. The actress died days before her 37th birthday after being found unresponsive at an Airbnb in Greenville, S.C. Actor Hayden Panettiere’s death has been ruled an accident, and the case is now closed, police in South Carolina announced Wednesday. A South Carolina coroner previously confirmed Panettiere died from an accidental drug overdose that included fentanyl.
