Police will investigate Hayden Panettiere’s death after reports she died from an overdose to see if any criminal conduct was involved.

The Greenville PD are said to be looking to speak to her boyfriend Brian Hickerson, who was at the address when she died.

Panettiere was known for her roles in Heroes and Nashville, with her death at just 36-years-old shocking Hollywood.

In a tribute from her family, they wrote they would remember her as an ‘incredible light’ while fellow stars called her ‘astonishing’ and ‘talented’.

The toxicology results of the autopsy are still pending but emergency services were called out to the house for a woman in cardiac arrest.

One law enforcement source told TMZ that this investigation was triggered because ‘Hayden’s death was unexpected’, citing her age.

They added that the police are doing a parallel investigation with the coroner to determine cause and manner of death.
