Criminal Probe Into Anna's Prescriptions

Posted Jul 6th 2007 3:06PM by Celly

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.

WHAT DID I TELL YOU GUYS MONTHS AGO?
ITS A DIRTY LITTLE SECRET THAT HOWARD HAS HIS OWN LITTLE CULT AT HORIZONS:

GAY MEN MARRIED TO EACH OTHER AND THEY ALL ADOPT LITTLE GIRLS.
NOW HERE WE HAVE THE EVER-SO-GAY DR. KOOP MAKING SURE HE GETS HIS HANDS ON CHILDREN BY PAYING SOME WOMAN TO HAVE CHILDREN FOR HIM.

THESE PEOPLE THAT SURROUND HOWARD K. STERN ARE A SICK, SICK, SICK BUNCH.
WHEN I TOLD YOU HOWARD IS HANGING AROUND DANNIELYNN BECAUSE HE HAS HIS OWN AGENDA, ITS BECAUSE OF THE RUMORS THAT HAVE LEAKED OUT OF HORIZONS.

HE WENT TO THE BAHAMAS TO BE OUT OFUS JURISDICTION TO DO AS HE PLEASES AND ANNA DID NOT FIGURE INTO THE SCENARIO BUT ONCE SHE GOT PREGNANT HE SAW AN OPPORTUNITY TO GET HIMSELF A LITTLE GIRL.

21. What the hell is a "STERN PAID BLOGGER"? Does some wacko actually think Stern pays for people to back him? IF YOU HAD ANY SENSE AND COULD READ YOU WOULD KNOW HOWARD HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH ANNA'S DEATH..ANNA TOOK TOO MUCH C.H I THINK SHE WOKE UP AND TOOK SOME MORE AND IT KILLED HER. PLAIN AND SIMPLE. Is it really that hard to see it? I do think Kris had her on too many sedatives and the C.H on top of those just added to her sedation and finally she slipped away. We know Anna swigged C.H from a cup and it would be soooo easy to take too much. I will not try to convince Howard haters and their nutty ideas of anything different I could really care less. But to think there are paid bloggers is a bit nuts and you are nuts for thinking that.

22. i am so proud to be among us people who are justice seekers and who refused to let up of howard k. stern and the injustice done to anna despite larry's turncoat actions.

oh, what we the people can do when we get together. we put so much pressure on california and florida to investigate this doctor they had do something. even greta said about 2 nights ago, when she reported the Benoit Doctor's case, greta said, "i cant tell you the amount of emals i got from people saying they jumped right on this doctor of benoit's ten how come the doctors who over prescribed for anna are not being investigated?"

WHAM!

23. They will all turn on each other because that is the kind of people they are. Dr K is not going to go down alone.

24. About time, all Doctors should be reviewed, prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law when they randomly prescribe lethal narcotis and mind altering drugs to unwary patients or addicts in massive doses that wind up like this case, they are as responsible as those that adminstered the meds in the first place and held accountabble under the law.
Here we go again, Howrd and D. e. your in real trouble now, Moe-after your wife went on Greta your likewise in deep S------!!!
You all did the crime, now its time to do your time!!!!

Taz said howard told them he came down to the lobby to "use my phone." .. HUH?

the man left a hotel suite with not one, but several rooms of space with a SLEEPING woman in one room, and he had no place to make a telephone call? YOU LEAVE THE SANCTITY OF PRIVACY TO COME DOWN TO A CROWED HOTEL LOBBY TO MAKE A PHONE CALL......okkkkkkkkayyyyy we got that and how we so believe it, now dont we?

Your right in the fact that the truth always surfaces concerning these folks.

Lets face it if they really had Vicky aka Anna Nicole best interest at heart they sure would not of stayed around to enable her destruction.

It sure seems more and more Virgie Arthur knew what she was talking about all along.
