Federal investigators met with Brian Hickorthon, the boyfriend of actress Hayden Panettiere, as part of the continuing inquiry into her death. The investigation remains open while officials await toxicology results that could clarify the official cause of death. Panettiere was found unresponsive on August 16 at a short-term rental in Greenville, South Carolina, and was pronounced dead after attempts to revive her failed. Police have made no arrests and have reported no indications of foul play. Family members and legal representatives have made public statements, but investigators have not identified any suspected dealer and the case is still under review.
"We are continuing to gather all relevant information and will update the public as appropriate," a law enforcement spokesperson said.
