Weight Loss Medication -- Not TRIMSPA -- Found in Anna

Anna Nicole SmithAmong the list of drugs Anna Nicole Smith took in the days leading up to her death was a growth hormone -- making it the third weight loss product Smith had taken during her reign as TRIMSPA spokesperson.

A press release issued today by Dr. Joshua Perper says that before she flew to the United States from the Bahamas, Anna had taken medications that included "Growth hormone, an alleged 'longevity'/weight reducing medication."

The Broward County Medical Examiner also released a description of the contents of Anna's hotel room at the Seminole Hard Rock Casino, in which Seminole detectives found Slim-Fast on her night table. Days after her death, TMZ obtained exclusive photographs of the inside of Anna Nicole's refrigerator, which contained several cans of the diet drink.

As you may recall, Anna credited TRIMSPA for her incredible weight loss. Now that she's been connected to TWO other weight loss supplements, it's impossible to determine if TRIMSPA alone was responsible for Anna's rapid shrinking.

The Medical Examiner's office ruled today that Anna Nicole's death was ruled an "accidental overdose."

Calls to TRIMSPA were not immediately returned.

241. I would like to add that today I saw at least some people that understood theME report and it is just that. My husband was a ME investigator so I do know how some of it works ,after the fact though. they look at everything and talk to everyone involvedANS wasn't the only person who took a lot of different drugs for different things, Legal ones
As far as trims-pa or whatever most every company that sells something has a spokesperson does not mean they are involved in all aspects of that persons life.One thing wrong with our country too many lawsuits everyone wants to sue everyone elseI don't think this case will give rise to multible murders as some of you seem to think . AND NO ONE PAYS OFF THE ME OFFICE

243. A drug addict does not love anyone, not even themselves, which is the sad part about this case. ANS loved her oowners and when people would not supply her with them she the got rid of them. The people that were in her crowd were the enablers and no matter what Perper says that this was accidental is a load of crap. I would believe this if she was all alone and she did not have any medical staff around her and these people should have known when she was taking what and how much to give her, and if HKS did love her as he says and that she loved him and that the both of them had this daughter together then why did he fail to get her help. I am really tired of the media thing she lived for the media along with HKS they wanted the media around them so that we would not forget her because what was she known for after Guess NOTHING...and who sold the baby's birth to ET is that not the media, then Daniels Death is that not the media then her ceremony to people magazine..and it goes on right up to her death the media was there. So please put that to rest they both were media whores.

245. I noticed Anna had some topiramate in her system (per autopsy), which is a drug also
known as topamax. It is used to treat migranes, but from what I have been reading
about this, I am willing to bet Anna Nicole used this drug to make her lose all the weight
she had lost. The side effects would explain why she seemed so confused, not able to
finish a sentence, slurring words, etc...With a large enough dose, it could do some serious stuff, lots of side effects! But it can make you lose weight! The Trimspa did not make her lose the weight! I took that stuff, and it did nothing! lol, sorry Trimspa!
So with all the side effects from the topamax, she took other drugs to relieve some
of her other symptoms...etc, etc, etc

246. to all the people who fell for the TRIMSPA scam, you should get in touch with the lawyer in california and get in on the class action lawsuit against TRIMSPA. they lied, anna lied, howard lied, they all scammed you out of money for a product that DOES NOT WORK. now it's time for you to get your money back and then some. and by the way, the amount of hoodia you need to take to lose weight will not fit in a couploe of pills. also, it sounds to me like those scars on her thighs are from LIPO!

Don't you think Anna, like any other celebrity just made a commercial for TrimSpa? I doubt very much she used the product..........grin.

249. Everyone had something to say about Vergie and her relationship with her daughter.
Vergie was the only one that got on public television and told her daugther to get away from her so called friends or she would be next. In the end, she was right. Who is the public to sit around and judge what her mother felt for her or what her mother wanted in the end. We only know that after Anna heard her mom on television speaking about her addictions to prescription meds did she get on televison and make hateful comments about her. At least her mother wanted her alive. Maybe that was the only way her mother could think of to stop her daughter. In the end, Anna Nicole Smith was her daughter, a daughter she lost and she will grieve for. All of us will move on and forget Anna the person. Her mother and father will never forget her or what happened to her.

I refuse to judge her mother because I think her mother truly loved her. We all make mistakes in our lives. I think the fact that her mom was willing to go out in the open and listen to all the garbage pouring out of people's mouths showed how much she loved her daughter not Anna Nicole Smith the celebrity. Re the money, how can we judge her when all those other vipers are out there trying to get their hands on her grandaughter for the estate. I think the Marshall's should be in charge of a trust fund for the baby since they are used to money and have respect for it. At least they won't be dipping into the pile and using the baby the way everyone used her mother and brother. That is if Anna wins the court case. That child came into this world with more baggage than any of us have had in 10 years living.

250. I wanted to know if anyone noticed what I did. I was looking at pictures of her on one of the websites. Herbody looked like that of an old woman. She was wearing a shirt little skirt and posing and her thighs looked like an 85 year old. If you saw a closeup of any of those pictures of her body, you could see discoloration. To me, she looked like her body had aged years, maybe not her face. I could not believe my eyes or that they had published these pictures.

Didn't any of the doctors notice what state she was in. Dr. Perper's report, which was unsigned on the web, made Anna sound like a healthy woman. How could she have been if she was taking hormones, topomax etc to keep weight off. I hope her baby is ok.

252. Will someone please just arrest the whole bunch of them, the psychiatrist, HKS, the Nurse and the exbodyguard. How many of them were on her payroll.
She did not die accidently. Dr. Perper is an idiot.
