Hype is over, Anna Nicoles death

Anna Nicole SmithFlorida officials have finally announced the truth behind Anna Nicoles death (and its about damn time.) The cause of death was announced on Monday as an accidental drug overdose.

Broward County medical examiner Joshua Perper and Seminole police chief Charlie Tiger say they found nine different drugs in Smith’s blood system, including Methadone, chloral hydrate (a hypnotic drug used for insomnia) and three different drugs used to treat depression and anxiety.

The autopsy results come more than six weeks after Smith was found unresponsive in a Hollywood, Fla., hotel room Feb. 8. She died several hours later at a nearby hospital. The official autopsy “essentially closes the case on the death of Anna Nicole Smith,” Tiger told reporters, adding that police found no signs of foul play or criminal elements to her death. They also found no illegal drugs.

Perper told reporters that Smith was feeling ill days before she died and had been prescribed Tamiflu, plus an antibiotic for a bacterial infection caused by a needle prick in her left buttock. He said the infection was being effectively treated with antibiotics and was not a factor in her death.
