Attorney's Office Opens Investigation Into Anna Nicole Smith's Death

Filed under: Anna Nicole Smith > Legal Matters

wenn-anna-nicole.jpg

The Broward County State Attorney's Office in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, are opening an investigation into Anne Nicole Smith's death, spurred on by the recent arrests of her ex-boyfriend Howard K Stern and 2 doctors on charges that they conspired to procure thousands of prescription drugs for the troubled model.

Being careful to clarify that the department "never had an open homicide investigation," Ron Ishoy, spokesman for the Broward State Attorney's Office, said, "Our prosecutors have met with representatives of the Los Angeles County District Attorney's Office and the California Department of Justice and discussed the evidence they have turned up in their investigation. We are now examining that evidence to see where it might lead in relation to Ms. Smith's death here in Broward County in 2007."

Hopefully justice will be served!

    You could watch her reality show and see that she was a completely wasted drugged up mess. If nobody did anything about it back then why pretend to care now?



  2. 2

    I hope after all this is over she can finally rest in peace, poor Anna.

    What is sad and true is that SHE was the addict. Some people may have given her drugs and even prescribed them, but the BASE of the situation is that SHE was the addict and SHE DID ALL THE DAMAGE - WILLINGLY, TO HERSELF. Howard Stern AND her doctors are incredibly moral-less fucks in this, but still, SHE DEMANDED to be drugged. I believe that with all my heart.

    Stern is scum. I hope he hangs.

    WoW Perez r u jealous that you have to pay for your pills



  10. 10

    Whore with drugs and a bankroll and a lawyer that enabled her whats to investigate?



  11. 11

    Hey Mario why didn't you draw a cock for her mouth?



  12. 12

    Brittany is really lucky her Dad and Mother interfered with her life otherwise she would have ended up exactly like poor Anna.



  13. 13

    This smells like another "britney"case.
    Where Mr. Stern was trying to keep her "sedated" so he could get her money.

    If so…somone has to do something, I'm sure we'll see more cases in the future…

    Hollywood Sucks big time

    Justice will be served when people start taking responsiblity for themselves, and start to educate themselves about the dangers of pharmaceautical drugs. Too many people try to take the easy way out of simple everyday ups & downs of moods. I know that ANS had to deal with tragedy but stop the witch hunt already. So many people are taking anti-depressant drugs without really thinking about the long term effects. Most of those people who are shooting up schools are also taking anti-depressant drugs - the drugs are DANGEROUS - they turn normal people into addicts and psychopaths…. of course the media will not report this as their major advertisers are the drug companies. People, do a good service to those you care about and talk to them about their legal drug use…persuade them to get educated about the effects of using these durgs and the dangers of stopping too quickly.

    Yeah totally agree on her beeing addict.TRUE.Her fault.
    But that doesn't give others the right to get advantage on somebody's illness.



  16. 16

    I am surprised Howard K Stern can sleep at night. He knows that he kept her tanked so that he could control her assets, financial and otherwise, for his own gain. I hope he gets his comeupance in the end!



  17. 17

    Anna Nicole was nasty, dirty, selfish whore who destroyed so many people, Marshall family, Larry Birkhead, Howard K Stern.She only loved drugs, and nothing/nobody else. She didn't love ANYBODY!! no tears for the whore!!



  18. 18

    Anna Nicole Smith was a drug addict. Seriously, she wasn't murdered. This is just a lot of hype over nothing.



  19. 19

    Justice!? She was probably begging for these pills, insisting that she needed them and paying through the nose for them. If a lush like that wants to be a pill-popper, she's going to eventually hit a wall like she did.
    .
    Let's maybe focus on getting justice for actual people in need: women lured to the states with the promise of jobs and forced into protitution, victims of domestic abuse, children born to crazies like Octo-mom, people losing their homes while CEOs' wives complain that the recession is limiting the number of tiaras they can buy, etc.
    .
    Nicole is dead. She dug her own grave.

    I don't understand how FL would have jurisdiction over her death. I thought she died in the Bahamas.



  21. 21

    I am a recovering addict…nobody forced me to get high..this bitch did it to herself…nobody forced me to get clean…I got clean by myself..grow up people…she did this to herself.

    Re: TexasBaby
    Anna's son Daniel died in the Bahamas in her hospital room right after she delivered her baby girl.
    Anna died in a hotel room at the Hard Rock Hotel in Hollywood FL.



  29. 29

    Re: whywhy – Yes, and investigate the boy. He got the very same treatment.



  30. 30

    I loved her! what a beautiful woman



  31. 31

    I loved her but the way they keep going after the death and everything is getting ridiculous… The poor woman's dead already, just leave her alone!!



  32. 32

    This is a waste of time and tax payers money. He didnt shove the pills down her throat. She was a grown woman. She did whatever the hell she wanted to do. Let her rest in peace. Ana would not be pleased.



  33. 33

    i wonder if howard k. stern was the one who injected that shit into her??? hmmm howard…was money on your mind?!

    poor woman. i feel terrible she passed on right after her danni-lynn was born.

  34. Laxer says – reply to this


    34

    Howard, For God's sake..this is serious, Dude. Either come out of the closet or hook up with another wingnut…doesn't Octo-Mom need a lawyer/manager not thay Gloria has packed her Prada bags?



  35. 35

    they need to be investigating Daniel's death as well. Anna and Daniel died too close apart.
