Anna Nicole Cause of Death Two Hours Away

Anna Nicole SmithAll eyes -- including TMZ's -- will be on Dr. Joshua Perper, Broward County Medical Examiner, who will announce the cause of death in the Anna Nicole Smith case at 10:30 AM EST.

Dr. Perper delayed the announcement because of what he termed were two new pieces of evidence, one of which, as TMZ reported, was a computer belonging to Smith that contained e-mail messages with doctors who supplied Anna Nicole with prescription drugs.

A live feed of the announcement from WTVJ in Miami can be found here. TMZ will have the announcement as it happens and will have constant updates as they emerge.

196. Perper confirmed the story that she didn't want to go to the hospital with 4 or 5 people.
1) Stern
2) Dr. Kris
3) Taz
4) Moe
5)

All of whom were foxes watching the chicken coop!! And all of whom have a reason to lie!! Where is this guy's critical thinking skills and common sense?

197. Everyone knew it was going to overdose, that was a given.... so the only bombshell is that the ME based his findings solely on the word of those who had the biggest motive to lie.... smart one, perp!

All you heard out of Perp was that he talked to $tern and her entourage and they said..... what the f*** you think they are going to say. Dumb ass!!!

$tern's attorneys pre-planned the news conference for today because they were given information from the ME, and you think there is no corruption here!

So now every person in America (at least Florida) has been given a license to kill by drug overdose and walk, all they have to do is cite the Anna Nicole Smith case!!!

199. Drug Overdose for Anna Nicole? Say it isn't so! She was always so eloquent and well spoken. Her lady-like behaviors and over-sexualized image is something every stripper can admire & aspire to be...come on, the fact that she OD'd on any drug or substance cannot be a surprise. Everyone near her has been evasive and less than open about her "medications" and depression. She is another lost soul surrounded by yes-men who hung onto her coat tails to benefit from her wealth & lifestyle. If one of these people claiming to love her (her mother, the lovers, friends & Howard K Stern -- who in my mind is quite culpable) had ever stood up and said, No or showed her she was making mistakes maybe no one would be swarming over the corpses looking for the next tidbit of gossip or sensationalized "news" to discuss at the water cooler. Celebrity isn't a ticket to greatness, surviving celebrity & the entourage of people who do not have your best interest at heart would have been a true great accomplishment for Anna Nicole.

202. Told you so!! I stated all of these facts two weeks ago right on this board and many people said I was stupid. Some agreed but most said I did not know what I was talking about. I was correct about the abcess in the buttocks, no methadone in her body, dirty needle causing the abcess, time of death and death from an accidental overdose. No charges for HKS.
Let's see if I am correct about the rest: Daniel took Anna's methadone while she and Howard were sleeping. He had taken her pills on other occasions. Dr Eroshevich may face consequences on this death. Howard will receive none. Larry is the the father and it will take another six months to wrap up the custody which will result in an arrangement for custody with Howard and Larry each having access. Vergie having none.
The house in the Bahamas will also be sold and money split between Anna's estate and the Thompson's.

203. Accidental? Look, it is easy to see that this was no accident, this woman had been doing drugs for 13 years or better, I think she knew her own tolerance, 2 things in the frig, liquid methadone and slim fast, HOWARD> bring me a slim fast Howard, how easy would that have been, she had ran a 105 degree temp and NO one took her to the hospital, he now has Dannilynn thinking she is linked to millions. Daniel was on anti depressants it was Howard K Stern that gave HIM methadone, he was fine for months in LA, he goes to visit his mom and dies! IF he had been mixing methadone and anti depressants in LA he would have died there, Howard drank with him on the plan two days later he was dead, what are the odds, 2 people dead, both of methadone overdose, both in the company of this man! HE is a KILLER...hurrry Birkhead and get your daughter.

204. I hope Shelley and Thompson go after $tern with full force and get that scumbag evicted ASAP.... have no mercy on him! Press charges against him for stealing Horizons by scam.

International drug trafficking charges should be coming down the turnpike.... but wait a minute, such charges only apply to average citizens, these scums can do anything they want.

O'Quinn get your guns out.... and fire those wrongful death suits at HK$, Dr. Death, Moe and Taz ASAP! You only need a majority in Civil Court and an overwhelming majority believe he is guilty as sin!!!!

205. The only bombshell Perp is that you haven't got the brains of a piss ant.... Did you really think you were going to parade onto national television and convince the world that it was an "accidental" overdose based on the word of the very people who have every reason to lie.... the world is not that stupid or gullible. You really looked like an ass up there spewing HK$' recollection of events! You offered no objectable evidence as to whether it should be considered a homicide. Only the word of the perpetrators!

206. Howard will walk away from this situation for now. Everyone stay calm and remember Dr. Perper said YES when asked if her death could have been prevented had she been taken to the hospital. Howard has to live with the quilt that he did infact kill the love of his life. The quilt will eat at him for the rest of his life. Sleep well Howard Anna will haunt you in your dreams.

207. hmmmm

$tern admitted to injecting drugs into ANS buttock.

ANS subsequently develops an infection, which leads to even more drugs being pumped into her to combat the infection.

The Seminole Police Chief did not say charges would never be brought against $tern.

$tern is, in my opinion, guilty of manslaughter.

By the way, the Broward County Medical Examiner can only determine whether it was a drug overdose. He is not the police, therefore, he cannot determine whether such drug overdose was accidental or intentional.

209. AmazedConfused: Right On!

Perper takes as truth, the statements of those with the most reason to lie?

He has now proven that he has absolutely NO critical thinking skills whatsover, Even a casual observer of this case (and I am not talking about a police investigator) could separate the sef-serving comments from the truth. Just because all 4 of them agree to the same self-serving story, you believe them? Unbelievable!!

None of them knew WHO gave her the injection with a dirty needle? None of them recalled this critical piece of info, and the ME did NOT find this unusual? The last days of their "dear friends" "Anna meant the whole to me" life, and they are conveniently cloudy on the details? Seems those on TMZ know more about timeline and course of events than the ME! unbelievable!!

And explain to me: How did the Nat'l Enquirer know about the chloro hydrate? Pretty specific detail to know about in advance, huh? I always smelled rats here, but now the rats have overrun the ME's office!

210. THE AMERICAN PUBLIC JUST PROVED TO THE BAHAMIAN PEOPLE THAT WE AS AMERICAN CITIZENS ARE STUPID AND LIVE OUR LIVES ACCORDING TO SPECULATION AND FALSE RUMORS....THEY HAVE SAID ALL ALONG THAT AMERICANS LIVE FOR THE MEDIA....
