Florida prosecutors looking into Playmate's death

Nobody will end up convicted in this. Smith was an adult user. Did the doctors know they were each supplying drugs? The amounts supplied would seem to be grounds for charges and loss of license in CA, but murder is a different charge. Did Stern hold her down and stuff handfuls of pills in her mouth? Smith was suicidal, unlike Lana Clarkson, and look what the defense made out of Clarkson's relatively minor complaints. By the way, I wish you had covered the Spector retrial.

I cant believe Stern wasnt arrested and charged with aiding a abetting a suicide, or worse, murder...he is parasite and enabled and encouraged her to be drug dependent...that is the understatement of the year...

PLEASE iIhave had enough of this all ready. Anna new exsactly what she was doing. Howard should maybe be punished a little for what happened ,BUT the drs should be held totally responsable.
What really makes me so mad is that The prosecuters would doing nothing if this was you or me. BUT because it is someone famous they are now opening the case. If this was you or me they would not even give a crap and that is what is sad. They are saying that her life is more important then a every day joe shmoe...You have to be rich and famous for the prosectores to do something about it. That is really SAD<Esspecially when these drs do this all the time and all over Florida and im sure every state. Why dont they go after all of them.These Drs are killing people al day and every where. So lets go after all of them.

Why doesn't Jerrry Brown leave this poor woman rest in peace? All of a sudden he is opening this investigation after all this months have passed and all the bickering and hard feelings among the greedy mother, etc. etc. The little daughter is doing fine with her Dad, Howard probably will never get over Anna, and now this? This happened in Nevada not California, let Jerry Brown go after the gangs and dope and violence all over Los Angeles and other cities of California.
This "was going to be a Catholic but wasn't" should retire and do his act of contriction. Or get married.

These people were all enablers. They all knew she was an addict and they all provided her with hundreds and thousands of drugs
under aliases to be close to both fame and money. You can't
lock an alcoholic in a bar every night and because you find them
drunk in the morning say oh well he was and adult he knew
what he was doing. There is a difference in knowing what is right
and wrong and having the ability to stop yourself from doing it.
They call them addicts for a reason. They no longer have the willpower. What about Stern providing the drugs to her son who died and later flushing the evidence down the toilet in the hospital. He
was just a kid who Stern helped to get addicted. You get people
addicted or keep them addicted and that's the way you keep
control over them and their careers and fortunes. What about
the oath these so called physicans took? Do we look the other way
about that too and blame the dead people?

never was a fan of anna nicole, but she did NOT deserve to have her son die, and then herself under circumstances like these....drug addict or not. stern always gave me a weasel vibe, esp w/ her sons death... woudlnt suprise me he got son out of way, then her and eventually baby girl to get his mits on annas money... thank god dannielynn was proven to be larrys!!!

All I can say is it is about time! Not only is Stern responsible for the death of Anna but I also suspect him of killing her son as well. Mighty strange a kid would overdose in a hospital at the same time his mother was having a baby. Mighty strange....

Stern also knew that Anna loved her son and of course Stern could not bear that. He knew that as her son got older he would question the authority of the sleaze that Stern is.

If this case sets a presedence that its illegal to be an enabler to an addict, I imagine were are going to have to open many more prisons nationwide. I do not condone what the doctors did one bit. They deserve what is coming to them 100%. And though Howard did put off the slime ball lawyer vibe, he did what many people who love an addict have done.

Just a waste of time, It was a sad thing, But thats the end of it

do you want to find out the truth .. why does she want die when she still have a young child to rise.. ... love money .s he had them all ... didn't you guys/gals have a question mark about that ?

the more I think .. the more I supspected there was something hidding....

let her rest in peace alongside her son....she was a addict her son grew up thinking if you have a problem take a pill that will make it better..while i dont condone enabling, i've been around enough addicts to know they will get them, i think they may have given her a few more years at least they were semi watching her...as for those who believe she wouldnt have wanted to die because of dannilynn well hello"???? that didnt stop her?????as for those who believe stern only wants her money.....read and comprehend before commenting ...he immediatley signed off any monies (he is co-executor of her estate) he's not asking for the exectutor fee that goes along with that title..its ALL for dannilynn he AND larry agreed to that.....like i said let her rest its bad enough she had to die so young and with a young baby....

If Anna Nicole Smith had died while skydiving, would the feds prosecute the guy who sold her the parachute?

My sister is chronically in pain. She's disabled and can't drive.
She takes pain medicine, anti depressents and sleeping meds. All of them given by the same doctor. My mother, myself and sometimes my son will go by her doctors office, pick up the prescriptions (cause the gov't won't let it be called in) and then we get it filled for her. She has never filled a prescription herself. We hand her the bag and she takes what she wants when she wants etc. So if she accidentally overdoses or she intentionally overdoses then are we gonna be charged. Then why isn't there a police investigations and prosecution for all overdoses, suicides. The drug dealers should all be charged. God forbid the person who willingly takes the stuff be responsible for what they do to theirself. Yes she was on drugs so she probably wasn't in her right mind but tell me this was she out of her mind enough that she could have been commited to a hospital without her permission. I know this didn't happen but as an example if she would have been deemed able to make her own decisions, wasn't suicidal or homicidal then she couldn't be commited against her will. So then she was capable to decide whether or not she wanted to take this meds. Stern and the doctors may be scum of the earth but they are not murderers. What the heck is Vergie Arthur's attorney doing in this? That woman is still on the scent of money somewhere. She wasn't concerned enough for her in life but she sure wants her money now she's dead..She makes me sick. I wouldn't give her custody of my pet rock let alone another human. She had a hand in the reason Anna turned out the way she did...hello.

Some of the drugs that were in her system that could have contributed to her cause of death were not opiates – like Benadryl. Until I looked up details of Anna Nicole's death, I didn't even know Benadryl was a central nervous system depressant – and I've taken it myself, and I thought I was pretty good about reading warnings on my meds!

Considering the various drugs she'd taken besides the methadone – Benadryl, chloral hydrate, Klonopin [an antipsychotic], antidepressants [which can cause suicidal acts], weight loss pills, growth hormone, immunoglobulin, & valium, could anyone say which drug killed her? It's conceivable that the last straw was an OTC med, Benadryl, or that the antidepressants caused her to become suicidal and overdose on another nonopiate, like the chloral hydrate. Interestingly, methadone was the only opiate in her system at the time of death, and some of the nonopiates are apparently more dangerous than generally thought.
