Celebrity Justice
Criminal Probe Into Anna's Prescriptions

TMZ has learned the California Department of Justice (DOJ) is conducting a criminal investigation into several doctors who prescribed various medicines to Anna Nicole Smith.

Sources tell TMZ the DOJ's Bureau of Narcotics Enforcement has contacted Larry Birkhead, Big Mo (Anna's bodyguard) and others. We're told DOJ is particularly interested in two doctors -- Khristine Eroshevich and Sandeep Kapoor. TMZ broke the story that Dr. Kapoor prescribed methadone to Anna under an assumed name when she was eight months pregnant. Dr. Eroshevich ordered a virtual pharmacy of drugs for Anna, five days after her son Daniel died.

Dr. Eroshevich, who was in the Bahamas with Anna, sent the prescription wish list to Dr. Kapoor. Kapoor's attorney, Ellyn Garofalo, told TMZ "Dr. Kapoor declined the request for prescriptions. He would never prescribe that combination of drugs, in such large dosages, to any patient."

The Medical Board of California launched its own investigation of the two doctors earlier this year. That investigation is pending.

By the way, TMZ has learned Dr. Kapoor is in the process of having twins via a surrogate.

Sounds just like Einstein from Naples who spent all summer here, despite the fact her two boys were home from college and the girl was out of school.


Ah, but she did go to her South Carolina beach house so she could blog from there.

Such a loving mommy dearest.....not!

She gave up lunches with hubby cause he goes to the Hard Rock and she's boycotting it (despite the good food she admits)

Blog away...maybe you'll be buried with this case...

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
That was because she had been "on ice" for about 24 hours prior to "being discovered dead"...............That is very typical when a body has been iced and if Perper had not been so stupid or paid off, that would have been the first thing he would have thought about.

20811. ~~~~~~~~~THE EVER CHANGING ICE BATH STORY~~~~~~


WHEN DID ANNA HAVE A 105 FEVER AND GIVEN AN ICE BATH TO BRING IN DOWN:

BEFORE LEAVING THE BAHAMAS:
"The Insider" has also uncovered more details surrounding this tragedy through Anna's close friend and confidante, Khistine Erosevitch, who tells us Anna Nicole had been running a fever in the days before her death, which, at times, ran as high as 105 degrees. She was given anti-viral medication and took an ice bath, which allowed her temperature to drop below 100 degrees. Feeling better, Anna Nicole flew to Florida
( “ANNA NICOLE SMITH'S TRAGIC DEATH” 2/11/07 E.T.)
(“ANNA NICOLE: THE LATEST DETAILS” 2/11/07 4:27:00 AM THE INSIDER)


MONDAY
And Eroshevich is keen to play down reports Smith died after suffering a fever, revealing her late pal was recovering from an illness when she left her.
She explains, "She wasn't well... She did spike a fever on Monday night but she got better really quick (“PSYCHIATRIST IS HAUNTED BY CELEBRITY DEATH” 3/11/07 E T)

"She wasn't well," Khris says. "She had what I and everybody around her thought was the flu. She did spike a fever on Monday night, but she got better really quick. The fever spike went away, she never had a fever after that. I mean, I never thought that anything would happen to her.("ANNA NICOLE: THE LATEST” 3/12/07 E.T.)

VAN SUSTEREN: When did you first meet up? Was it on the Monday.
BIG MOE: On the Monday. Monday evening, I think it was, late afternoon.
VAN SUSTEREN: What was her condition when you saw her that late afternoon?
BIG MOE: Well, when she came in, she was shivering. She had every sign of a flu that I know. She was a little sick. She was shivering. She was — couldn't eat. And when we put her to bed, I checked her temperature, and her temperature was up to 105. And I told her, I said — I told her, I said, Baby girl, I'm about to call — you know, I'm about to call 911. You knead to go to the hospital. And she begged me not to. And I said, Well, this is just — it's — this is not acceptable to me. I mean, we have to do something.
So we picked her up and put her in, like, some water, put some ice in the water and broke her temperature, and the temperature went back to 98. And then she took some flu medicine, which was prescribed by a doctor, a local doctor. I don't know who the doctor was, but it was provided by Hard Rock.

TUESDAY
She did have a fever. I can tell you the last few days of her life when she came here. She had a fever when they got here. Before they came, Howard was actually suffering from the flu. When they got into the hotel room behind me, there was a point where Anna's fever had reached 105 degrees, at which time they put her in an ice bath. This is when her private nurse was with her, Howard was there in the room, to get her temperature back down. Her temperature went back down. They got her out of the ice bath. She was OK.
The next day, which would have been Wednesday, Anna was in the bathroom, she slipped, she fell. They heard something. They went to her and she was in her tub with no water, nothing else and they had asked her if she had fallen. And she seemed a little bit out of it. But they checked her for any bruising or contusions or swelling and there was nothing.
She got out of the tub. She had a nice meal. Everything was fine. Then she went to bed and that led to yesterday when, after taking a nap, I believe, she never came to and never woke up. (MARK STEINES - ENTERTAINMENT TONIGHT)


WEDNESDAY:
Anna Nicole's partner, Howard K. Stern, tells "The Insider" that her temperature was running high Wednesday night.
(THE INSIDER)

VAN SUSTEREN: Did he call you on the phone and tell you how Anna was
or talk about her being sick?
TAS: Yes, he did.
VAN SUSTEREN: The day before?
TAS: The day before.

THURSDAY
Howard's sister, Bonnie Stern, now says that he was not with Smith when she died but knew that she was very sick shortly before she collapsed.
According to The Associated Press, Bonnie said that her brother told her that Smith was running a fever of 105 degrees and that a nurse was "icing her down" on the day of her death. "When he left her, she was sleeping," Bonnie said.

DID MOE THINK THAT THE ICE BATH WAS A GOOD IDEA?

YES

VAN SUSTEREN: Now, you put her in the cold water. Is that in part because — I mean, you spend — your living is saving lives. Is this part of your training a little bit?
BIG MOE: Well, that's the part — that's something that I knew in knowledge from what my grandmother told me, you know, just some common knowledge that you — you know, first of all, if your fever is too high, you can, you know, spasm out, catch a — get a stroke, or you know — or have a seizure. So we knew we had to bring her temperature down. And then she — after we brought it down, you know, Anna being who Anna is, and you know, she begged not to go to the hospital. So we monitored all night and the next day, and her fever never really broke — I mean, went up anymore, so...
(ANNA NICOLE SMITH'S FINAL HOURS - "ON THE RECORD" 2/26/07)

NO

VAN SUSTEREN: Tell me what he said in the conversation, how he described things.
TAS: Well, he just called and he asked me if I thought it was a good idea for him to let them put Anna in ice because Anna's temperature was 105. And I said, Well, no. I said, In the hospital, we don't do that anymore. We give a tepid bath and we give a sponge bath in the bed. You Can put her in tepid water, but you don't put ice in the water. So he says — and I heard him, you know, screaming and saying, My wife Said not to put ice in the water. And I heard her in the background, like, Please, please, take me out, take me out, and, I'm cold, or something to that — something to that — you know, she said. And my husband said, My wife says not to put ice in the water. And then he said, Tas, I have to go, and let me try to convince them, you know, not to put ice in the water and to get her out of water, so…

20813. 20824. In my opinion, this is why Virgie Arthur had to literally bury her daughter. IF seidlin didn't trust these characters, why should Virgie Arthur trust them. Keep the faith, Virgie and keep going.....one legal step at a time.

Perper said Seidlin had asked him to accompany the body to the Bahamas to ensure the burial is carried out properly. Perper said he would comply.

http://www.cnn.com/2007/LAW/02/22/smith.ruling/index.html

To ensure the burial is carried out "properly".

I will never understand why this judge did this ! Has to be for money or his 15 minutes of fame ! Then ,there's the show he's getting !

Clearly ( by Fla.statutes ) ,Vergie is the only person who had standing to bury Anna !

20814.
Question: Had Anna been lifted out of the bathtub dead (ie.dead weight), would not there have been post-mortem markings (pressure)? I could see her beginning to "go down the tubes" with the ice bath, being helped out, vomiting all over and then dying in the bed. She was naked with wet sheets and hair? Maybe bags of ice put around her?

perper's report could not have concluded suicide, because he would have incriminated the 3 stooges, big time !( hks, the owner of the CH, moe, the body guard/protector and ke, her psychiatrist/ physician) . That is why there is so much emphasis on "not on official duty" and "not getting paid". All the characters have emphasized Anna's depression since Daniel (includes attorneys, employer and friends), past suicidal statements and drug addiction. They even spoke of Anna needing the drugs in order to live and drinking CH from the bottle. I think they should be criminally charged for providing the med and leaving it within close proximity so that she could overdose whether intentional or not intentional She's d-e-a-d either way!

perper was ready with pen in hand to say Anna died from infection, bacterial and viral, then.....
http://www.thesmokinggun.com/archive/years/2007/0326074report12.html

p12.
"Early in the death investigation, with only the preliminary toxicology results and the confirmation and quantification of several therapeutic drug levels, we started to believe that perhaps the cause of death was a combination of two natural conditions: the infection process relating to the abscesses of the buttock and the viral intestinal infection".

We were told, "we would be surprised" and then that sneaky CH started breaking down in the tissue! He seems to love saying "therapeutic levels of benzodiazepines", but I think the truth is: they may have different names, but their chemical breakdown in body is VALIUM. Valium depresses respiration and narcan does NOT reverse valium.

20815. Hey Howard Stern!

WHY was ok by you for Anna to fight the Marshall family over the remains of J. Howard Marshal and not ok for Virgie to fight for her child's remains?

HIPPOCRITE SHARK LAWYER!

Then, Anna left his ashes in a funeral parlor for 5 yrs before pick up?

That is respectful Mr Stern?

What nerve to accuse Virgie of disrespect when Stern cared less about the Marshall family! Has anyone calculated just how much money Stern has made after Anna's death? Let's see... 7 insurance policy's with him as beneficiary if DANIEL is dead(HMMMM!), undisclosed amts to TV Rag Mag shows, 4 million for selling the funeral like the final show of the Anna Nicole Show...and so on! Donald Trump is so right...he is a loser, but winning big bucks on Anna's death!

The leech! How dare he ever sau anyone wanted what ANNA HAD.

He used the funeral to focus on him........ Then to attack Virgie Arthur saying ..."her supposed family " mentioning a lack of respect for trying to stop the funeral!

AH ha! What was it he and Anna did to the Marhall remains?

Virgie gave birth to Anna and it is her child! Even if Stern had relations with in a drugged state he was clearly one of many and obviously chosen at the last minute to avoid Anna losing to Birkhead!

Daniel never saw his birth dad either thanks to Anna! WHY? Anna wanted control! Same for the baby! Anna and Daniel were US citizen's They belonged home!

Like Birkhead I agree with Ca. as the burial! Anyone who follwed her knew this! The Bahamas was her jail cell brought on by Stern to avoid Birkhead! Enough crap about her being a Bahamian citizen on a deed not filed in court!

Stern reminds me of Golum in the Lord of the Rings and Anna is "the precious"! He is obsessed with everything Anna! Obsessed with getting even with Virgie, obsessed with money, obsessed with control, obsessed with getting his face on the news, obsessed with selling the story and obsessed with the baby. Then have the gall to claim he is the father inspite of rumors he and Birkhead are negotiating! BULL!

How disrespectful was it to steal paternity from Birkhead? Some preacher of righteousness! Now, tell us again Mr. Stern you fraud just who again is disrespectful?! Like Golum your end will be caused by your own obsessions!

May God help Virgie and Dannielyn! Obiously, Anna was out of her head on drugs when she attacked her mom. DUH! She did so over Virgie's appearnace on Nancy Grace where Virgie warned Anna she might be next!

WELL................She was!

Stern as a murder? At the very least he is guilty of criminal negligence in taking a sick woman to buy a boat when she should have been in the hospital and guilty of not checking her into re-hab! It is obvious that only those who enabled Anna's addiction remained with her!

For these FREAKS to judge Virgie a former sheriff is not only cruel, but unfair and heartless. Stern hates her because she hit the nail on the head as to who he is and WHAT he is!

Roaches hate the light turned on them! I hope one day justice will be done! I am afraid Howard is on a long path of eating Dani's inheritance in order to stay in control!

I guess Mr. Milestein allowed that for the good of the baby? Her funeral was a side show! In the end Dannielyn may be the poor little, POOR girl with Howard in charge! I think we are all in for a long ride here!

Anna began it all challenging the Marshall will for money after Mashall disinherieted her! In the end it was all about greedy Stern trying to get her money! Mind you according to Stern and his vulture legal team, Virgie can not challenge squat!

Let's have J.Howard Marshall's nurse repeat how he felt about Anna in the end. Mind you, Marshall excluded Anna from his will....legal in Texas! I feel sorry for Anna for poor choices, but more for the baby She was a beautiful woman with less than an 8th grade education as Stern himself put on her death certificate! How could any reasonable human being expect her to have understood the legal ramifications Stern led her into. She was functionally illeritate and $tern exploited that for control of all her money.

Daniel was going to have her ruled incompetent to handle her affairs or
to even appoint anyone to handle them. He KNEW what was happening and when tried to stop it - HE DIED............

We are the persons carrying the banner for Daniel, for Anna, for Anna's Mama, and for Anna's baby, who is now in the hands of a shallow, spineless creep, and being subjected to the company of an absolute monster. It is WE who kept the TRUTH ALIVE. It is WE who provide information for persons in this country, and in others, who pass through here and don't need to only read the ridiculous lies, distortions of the truth, and slander dribbled daily by Laughing so Hard, Patty, Butterfly, ha ha, and all the other fake names used by the same two people, basically.
