Investigators looking into Hayden Panettiere's death are reportedly focusing on a single pill they believe contained fentanyl.
Multiple law enforcement sources with direct knowledge of the investigation told TMZ that Panettiere took what she believed was oxycodone on the morning of Aug. 16, the day she died at age 36. Their working theory is that the pill had been laced with fentanyl.
The Greenville County Coroner's Office has not announced Panettiere's cause or manner of death, and toxicology results remain pending. TMZ's sources themselves cautioned that their theory still depends on those results.
The new report arrives as federal and local investigators try to determine where drugs and medications connected to Panettiere came from. The Los Angeles Times independently reported before TMZ's latest story that DEA agents and local authorities had been questioning people as part of that effort.
TMZ's sources allege that Panettiere had been obtaining black-market prescription drugs from a longtime source in Los Angeles before traveling to South Carolina on Aug. 15.
