Hayden Panettiere may have died after taking an oxycodone pill laced with fentanyl, according to TMZ, citing multiple law enforcement sources familiar with the investigation.
Sources told TMZ that Panettiere had a longtime Los Angeles drug dealer who supplied black-market prescription drugs, including oxycodone.
Authorities believe she took several drugs during a flight from Los Angeles to South Carolina the day before her death and an oxycodone pill the following morning.
The DEA is investigating the dealer and attempting to trace the pill.
Official toxicology results remain pending, however, and authorities cautioned that the fentanyl-laced pill remains a working theory.
