Who Gave Anna Fatal Dose?

SmithIt is unclear if Anna took the fatal drug cocktail that killed her on her own or if someone gave it to her.

In all, she was taking nine drugs, including Valium, Ativan, antihistamines and chloral hydrate. She was also taking muscle relaxers. But Dr. Perper says it was impossible to know if she took some or all of the drugs without assistance.

Smith was on a variety of pain medication, including methadone, but none of those meds had anything to do with Anna's death, this according to Dr. Perper.

There was no evidence of complications with surgery either, including Smith's recent C-section operation.

We also learned today that the "additional evidence" that delayed today's announcement was information contained in Anna's computer. TMZ is told that the laptop computer was actually owned by Howard K. Stern.

Stern gave authorities access to the computer. The laptop helped determine the manner of death. Authorities were looking to see if there were e-mails showing the possibility of suicide or homicide but neither were found.

31. I knew he would get by with it.

Nothing well ever convince that Stern didn't play a part and got by with something. If it was someone like me or you, it would never have happened.

Funny how Perper appeared to just have taken Stern, Moe, Moe's wife and Dr. E.'s word as good as gold.

Funny how Stern and his attorney's offered up his personal computers for examination, but wouldn't offer up the baby for examination.

Also....I guess it's okay to write huge perscriptions of narcotic drugs for Anna. Who was taking them if she wasn't???

What a shame. I feel a Civil Suite coming soon, just like O.J.'s.

Hope they hire their own medical examiner.

32. No one gave her an overdose...what a ridiculous statement! She was taking 9 different medications. They were not given all at once lol! You people are looking for a smoking gun and there isn't one..no drama, no hysterics no fantasy. She died the same way thousands die each year all over the world. Mixing alcohol and a combination of medications...especially when one doctor hasn't a clue what another doctor prescribed...causes accidental death. No one was trying to kill ANS...you guys make me laugh! THE CASE IS CLOSED...YOU CAN ALL GO HOME NOW AND GET A LIFE!!!

36. It figures that even when the truth comes to light ------everyone still wants to destroy HKS. The hotel has video of a man entering her room-------not HKS--but a man that they believe injected her with a drug.

This chick wanted to die people-----she admitted it on national television and she also admitted that she wanted to go out like Marilyn Monroe.

She went out like MM. A drug mixture that killed her. Stop blaming HKS and judging a situation that you know nothing about other than what the media reports.

Her son died of drugs as well-------he was anorexic, depressed and not right in the head------could it be his mother by chance and the way he was raised or could it be HKS who tried to make his life somewhat normal? Judge not lest you be judged.

We have no right as a public to destroy a man's life without walking a few steps in it ourselves.

38. Vigilante Justice is completely right..

39. Well it seems that HK$ just might have wormed his way out of this one. I don't think it's over though because all they ruled out was homicide. There still could be more investigations. The Police chief only said that the investigation was over AT THIS POINT. Whatever, that ME clearly was only going by what HK$ and that psych was telling him.
Now let's see what happens in the Bahamas.
GOD anybody with any sense can see there's something terribly wrong here!!!!!!!

41. The Million Dollar Question!
Not really , Everyone knows Howie did it, in the hotel room with the pills.
Perper , you are so clueless!
Go watch some CSI or American Justice before your next case.

42. Remember that John Belushi's death was ruled an accidental overdose and later Cathy Smith was charged with manslaughter and eventually pled no contest to charges of involuntary manslaughter and administering dangerous drugs. She admitted that she injected Belushi with the drugs the night he died.

43. For example: How would Anna be PHYSICALLY ABLE to inject
herself in her left buttock when she was right handed and how could
she refuse to go to hospital with a 105 degree temperature, which as
I understand at the point of 105 you would be not be MENTALLY ABLE to
refuse treatment???

Nice observation.. if Anna did use her right hand to inject her left cheek it wouldn't have been very easy.
