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.

77. I am not surprised at all about the autopsy report! I knew HKS DID NOT HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH IT! Now he and Dannielynn can go on with their lives! HKS RULES!! HE loved her if he didnt he could not have stayed as long as he had! Not many men would help a woman to the bathroom no matter what they are paid! RIP ANS

78. I, like many others, have followed and analyzed this tragedy and rather wondered why I have followed it. But probably because it is, above all else, a tragedy. It was apparent that Anna Nicole, despite her flaws, deeply loved her son, and her anguish was just painful. It is also so sad that sweet little Dannielynn is motherless. Of course, there are a lot of other tragedies - the shootings of the helpless Amish schoolgirls - but this tragedy is like a Russian novel.

I have always felt a little sorry for HKS and wondered why there has been so much violent animosity towards him. If he's a criminal, I think he has plotted quite poorly. I only saw the ANS show once, and for some reason I was left with the impression the SHE had a crush on Howard. I think it's perfectly plausible that he had a romantic relationship with Anna and might be the father. Lawyers can get so emotionally invested with their clients, and many men become blindly devoted to women who care for them deep down but push them away none-the-less. I think Anna may have been physically flirtatious and promiscuous, but she only gave her heart to a few. Howard probably sensed that she really cared about him but had difficulty emotionally committing to a man. (And frankly, her behavior really seems to indicate sexual abuse in her youth. It is no wonder she was so angry at her mom and turned to drugs.)

In the end, though, Howard does need to be tested and does need to give the baby SOON to her rightful father. I'm sure it must be sad for him if he loved ANS and is not the father, but he has to do the right thing.

79. My question: WHY is Dr. Perper saying it's unknown if Anna was injecting herself or someone else was injecting her? *If* everyone was cooperative during the investigation, why did no one provide the answer to this question which was surely asked?

Howard said he helped her to the bathroom and then she took the sleep aid and went back to bed. he showered and went for the boat.

83. People in California who knew Daniel are saying he did have a drug problem. Anna Nicole was worried he "fell in with the wrong crowd". He probably went pilfering through her drug stash while Howard was out getting food and Anna was napping.

84. Why in the HELL did they keep injecting her in the left buttocks? Damn, everyone knows you need to switch sites with injections. I'm assuming that someone else injected her....she wasn't left-handed, was she?

85. I think it's rather ironic that Anna wanted to live a long life by taking the growth hormone, and yet, she died at the age of 39!

86. Did anyone hear what Catherine Crier asked Harvey Levin regarding ANS that he refused to answer and told her that she had "hit a nerve"?

88. I agree with you Monica - HKS selling off her things to make money. What has happened to all her jewelry and other things there at the mansion?

Posted at 8:01PM on Mar 26th 2007 by P.J.

89. People around ANS are feeding her drugs (instead of refraining or helping her to curb the habit) contributed to her death. If these people like HKS, psychiatrist, bodyguard, nurse and others truly care about her they could have do something to curb the habit. The psychiatrist should be stripped of her license(from getting her enormous amount of prescription drugs -- she should know). from the list that was mentioned (that led to her death), surely the people around her knew those are lethal combinations especially the nurse (license should be revoke, too). These two are in the medical field and they should know that these are lethal especially in her condition. Those found in her autospy report clearly show someone' s poisoning her slowly -- just happens it ended in florida. There are many people around her espcially HKS (if he truly cares and loved her), psychiatrist and nurse about the addiction and the amount of drugs she's taking and they don't know those are lethal combination especially when she's sick (and immune respons drops) ??? --- PLEEEEEASE!!! They just want her $$$.

I've read somewhere Moe, the bodyguard, said he could also be the father. OH PLEEEEZE!! Wish ANS could say something from the grave. These people just want $$$$. These people just took advantage of her.

Anna Nicole Smith -- R.I.P. May you and Daniel Look after Dannielynn wherever you two may be.

90. Exactly how do they know that Howie the purse carrier did not administer the chloryl hydrate to Anna Nicole?

Answer: Dr.Perper doesn't know WHO administered the drugs to Anna Nicole.

Dr. Perper just thinks that the amount given was not so much that it could be considered "murder". Even though she is dead, dead, dead.

Just a slight accident. oops!
