One doctor responsible for Anna Nicole’s prescriptions
All eleven prescription drugs found in Anna Nicole Smith‘s hotel room on the day she died were authorized by one doctor. According to documents released by the medical examiner’s office on Wednesday, more than 600 pills had been taken out of the prescription bottles – none of which was more than five weeks old. It is unknown whether the former Playmate took all of them, but about 450 of the pills were muscle relaxants. The prescriptions were all authorized by a Dr. Khristine Eroshevich, a psychiatrist and friend of Smith’s. A spokesperson for the California Medical Board would not comment as to whether Eroshevich would be investigated, saying investigations of doctors are not public record.

Anna Nicole on Law & Order May 8
The Law & Order episode loosely based on Anna Nicole Smith will air on May 8. Smith is played by Baywatch alum Kristy Swanson, who, according to the show’s executive producer, is “unselfconscious about herself and her endowment. When people would bring a photo over for her to sign, she would say, ‘I assume you want me to sign [on] my breasts.’”
Dannielynn’s baby daddy to be revealed this week
Howard K. Stern was forced to drop his bid to block the release of the results of DNA tests that will reveal who the father of Anna Nicole Smith‘s baby is. Stern’s lawyer withdrew the motion after learning that a Bahamas court would reject his appeal. Three judges in the case advised that Stern had filed his challenge too late – waiting a week after submitting his own DNA sample before filing the appeal. The Supreme Court is scheduled to hold a paternity hearing tomorrow, and we should all find out who Dannielynn’s baby daddy is sometime this week.
The cause of Anna Nicole Smith‘s death has been officially announced as “an accidental overdose with no other criminal element present,” the Seminole police chief announced this morning. Methadone, anti-anxiety and weight-loss drugs, and vitamins were found in the former Playmate’s system. After an in-depth investigation involving hundreds of hours of videotape and analysis of a laptop belonging to Howard K. Stern, the chief confirmed that no evidence was found indicating foul play. An inquest into the death of Smith’s 20-year-old son Daniel is set to begin today in the Bahamas.
Reported cause of death leaked
Following yesterday’s announcement that the cause of Anna Nicole Smith‘s death would be announced at a press conference on Monday, some well-known tabloids claim to already have the scoop. Star mag and the National Enquirer report that a drug overdose and blood infection caused the former Playmate’s demise. Sources told the rags that when Smith arrived at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino, she was suffering from a 105 degree fever and quickly developed a second infection from a virulent form of norovirus. Smith allegedly began vomiting and suffering from severe diarrhea and dehydration, but instead of taking her to a hospital, her entourage gave her an ice bath, an antibiotic and an over-the-counter flu medication. After telling her staff she wanted to sleep, Smith was reportedly given a toxic dose of chloral hydrate, a sleep aid, and never woke up.
Cause of Anna Nicole’s death to be announced
The cause of Anna Nicole Smith‘s death will finally be revealed next week. A news conference will be held on Monday morning at 10:30, and a spokesperson for the Seminole Police Department said the details of the announcement will be “significant,” and that the inquest into Smith’s death “continues to be a non-criminal, unexplained death investigation.”
Judge orders DNA tests in Anna Nicole case
A Bahamian judge has ordered DNA tests in the ongoing custody battle for Anna Nicole Smith‘s daughter Dannielynn. “I know I’m the father,” photographer Larry Birkhead said after a court hearing yesterday afternoon. “I just want the court to know I’m the father. I will be back on Tuesday.” Howard K. Stern did not appear at Friday’s hearing but both he and Birkhead have been ordered to appear in court on Tuesday to hear from DNA experts.
Anna Nicole buried
The funeral for Anna Nicole Smith took place in the Bahamas this morning, despite a last-minute legal attempt to halt the burial by the former Playmate’s mother. The casket, draped in pink fabric with ribbons and feather, was carried up a long red carpet into the Sandy Port community church. Neither Howard K. Stern or Larry Birkhead were in the group pallbearers, which included her current and former bodyguards, a Houston police officer and her LA attorney. Among the 300 guests were All My Children actor John James, who produced Smith’s last movie, and Guns ‘n’ Roses guitarist Slash.
