47. What confuses me is why was Dr. Perper at ANS funeral...that to me is odd. Coroner's don't go to funerals like this.

48. MY THEORY -

It is obvious that Vickie Lynn had some extensive plastic surgery on her face in her last days. He lips were extremely plumped up, sticking out like she had been sucked on by a Hoover. As well, the shape of her face - her cheeks, her eyes, her skin - I'm guessing she had Botox, as well because her face was quite frozen when she spoke in her last interviews. She was also larger, heavier than she had been prior to her pregnancy. She may also have started to take TrimSpa again.

I believe that, IF she really DID have a fever she may have developed and infection. HOWEVER, she wa well enough to have left her hotel room to be photographed with Hulk Hogan and didn't appear ill. That may be because she could have taken massive amounts of medication for pain and inflammation.

Then, when she retunred to her room, she took more, maybe even had some alcohol. AN id she did have the 105 temp they claim, and placed her in an ice bath, she likely went inot shock, as anyone would when you place a live body in ice. How a paramedic and a nurse wouldn't know that the first rule of cooling someone down is NOT to put them in ice. It causes shock.

Then, everyone had to scramble to cover it up. Maybe it wasn't premeditated, maybe it wasn't any one person, but rather a series of unfortunate, and really ignorant actions. The crime then would be the attempt to cover it up, as well as Stern's maneuvering to get the boat in his name, the baby in his name, the house in his name - all possessions of Vivkie Lynn, NOT him.

49. The delay is silly if he knows the facts. As someone who has been a forensics professional, I have suspected that he is on the side of Howard K. Stern. Watch and see if his decision is not beneficial to that side of this investigation.

50. In my mind, there is no coincidence b/w the inquest beginning (Mar 26) and Dr. Pepper's announcement. (Mar 26) His theory on cause and manner of death will be used in the inquest to draw parallels. It is quite relevant information, don't you think? Or was it just a coincidence that two people died untimely deaths? Age 20? Age 39?

(yes, I know: Perper........not Pepper)

52. The only person who likes more attention than Anna Nicole, is Dr. Perper, himself.

Why wait till Monday? Ok, it buys him an extra 15 minutes of fame, that's why.

53. Methodone is lethal with Zoloft. Stern killed Danny saw that it worked then killed Anna the same way with the same cocktail. She should never have been on Methodone. It is the # 1 killer in NC for overdose, mostly young people getting the drug illegally, Danny had a massive heart attack caused by overdose.

54. She died of an allergic reaction to a bee sting

58. Now Larry B is telling Access Hollywood he may play a part in the Daniel inquest. The golden haired self proclaimed hero in all this is stating he will be around if they need him. Gosh you think he thinks he has any faults at all. He is just oh so willing to always be around for another press release. He should follow Stern and keep his mouth shut sometimes. Who shows more dignity in their behavior with the press. Wonder why Larry was not around to do the right thing for Daniel earlier? He sure did not stay around to do the right thing for Anna, but rather sued her just a short time after she lost her son. If he knew Anna and was as close to her as he claims, he would have had to know what a bad effect this added pressure would cause to Anna NIcole. So if he really cared might he have waited just a little while and let her maybe go through some short grief process.

59. If Anna wanted to die why did she not re-write her will for her baby to inherit her estate and all? She did not want to die....something went wrong.

60. Why does the Seminole Police, the State Attorney's office and the medical Examiner 's office all have to be involved if there isn't a continued criminal matter. Am I missing something?
