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.

34. Gordon R. ....... You are so right, I agree 100%. These Doctors should be prosecuted to fullest extent of the Law.

Now the house of cards are falling. It took one woman who barely knew Anna to speak up on Greta last night.

TAZ WE ARE PROUD OF YOU!

39. Anna Nicole Smith was dead before Howard even before Taz (Mo's wife) came to watch her in the hotel room. IT WAS A SET UP!! He knew she was dead. He went out on an errand in order to cover it up!

40. HKS should be the one that is being investigated.

Larry Quirkhead, I am terribly upset with you. You have made yourself into a selfish, conniving, evil money grubber just like Stern.

You owe Opri, you pay Opri. That is the American way.

Remember, what goes around comes around!!!

41. When is the inquest for Daniel? Where is Vergie?
And, why isn't TMZ posting about Taz.

42.

no wonder Virgie and O'Quinn have been so quiet. they probably knew exactly what's coming down the tube but kept quiet so howard wouldnt sabotage it.

and when they questioned larry. larry told howard, and that's why howard has been all over these boards the last few days with his four paid bloggers trying to drum up public sympathy for himself....i just knew it....i posted that howard always surfaces when he feels the coals to his feet, and BOOM, Taz, now this.

that snitching larry already told him the police has been talkig to him.
larry needs to keep his mouth shut and stop giving howard the heads up on everything.

Posted at 3:58PM on Jul 6th 2007 by larry gave howard the heads up.

43. This is NOT about Larry!!!!!! Leave him out of it.
