I don't know what's more nuts.  The guy that made this up this story, which is both graphic and offensive to the point of hilarity, or the people that printed it.

     
“Half a truth is often a great lie.”

Looks like overdose and blood infection. Blood infection caused by an injection in the buttocks with a dirty needle three  days before her death. Man, that had to be the dirtiest needle in history to act that fast and strongly! To me that is over the top and sounds like it could have been purposely infected for her use.  Did she pull off that trick-a bit difficult, not impossible either, to geez herself in the rear, or did someone enable, supply the deadly needle, and/or do the injection for her ? and if this account is true did she take the deadly amount of sedative herself or was it supplied and/or administered by someone?

" According to the team of doctors at The National Enquirer and Star Magazine, Anna Nicole Smith died from an overdose of the sleeping medication, chloral hydrate. However, they claim that if she hadn't overdosed, she would have died anyway from a raging blood infection she received in the Bahamas, from injecting an unknown substance in her left buttock with an unsterilized needle three days before her death." from the National Enquirer and Star.

This could be murder. Investigate the son's death again and get that little baby away from Howard Stern and company and deliver to child protective people immediately for her safety.

One other "story"unofficial again, floating around is that ANS had a 75mg shot of demerol 2 minuites before her death? If this is true who administered that?  Sure to slow her respiration in her condition to flatline. Also notice her 'caretakers 'allowed her to go days with a 105 adult temperature before a trip to the hospital? I had a 103 adult temperature once and had my wife take me to the emergency room post haste.

I sense foul play with both Danny and Anna. Person(s) of interest? Howard K. Stern and her inner circle including Big Mo her bodyguard..

It depends on how quickly she absorbed the chloral hydrate. It's possible she was still aware enough to inject herself.

Chloral hydrate was one of the drugs Marilyn Monroe took the night she overdosed (the other was Nembutal.)  Maybe Anna was doing an MM impersonation again. 

BTW, It's as likely that Anna was murdered as Marilyn was (which is to say, not very.)  Marilyn was very much able to take the lethal dose found in her body (orally) before she slipped into sleep.
Why the conspiracy theories?  Can sad drug addicted celebrities not kill themselves?   

Yes, sad, addicted celebrities can kill themselves. Especially when their psychiatrist, lawyer, bodyguard, nurse, some or all of whom are derelict in their jobs, facilitates the act. Septic ass absess, 105 fever should have called for the nurse to direct the patient to a hospital the first day IMO. Instead allowing continued access to a load of deadly drugs to a 105 degree depressive patient makes that act of killing herself easy. No ?   

And it seems like a possibility of foul play exists and should be checked out. Anyway that's all I'm saying. 

She lived sloppy (and was a junkie.)  I'm sure she hand picked her employees to allow her to live like a sloppy junkie.  I sure wouldn't want that nurse taking care of me. 

There's probably reason for a lawsuit to get handed to someone, but why?  When a hooker ODs in a shitty hotel room, do we point fingers?

It is a sad deal. That poor dead hooker in the shitty hotel room doesn't have a posssible 475 million that goes with her.  

I think you make a good point about Anna choosing derelict phychiatrists and doctors who wrote like crazy, a bodyguard and nurse who allow Anna free reign. Stern was, an enabler, still possibly more than that, but Anna ultimately called the shots. No pun intended. I mean, like you pointed out they were her hires.

Who knows, if Anna had avoided that sepsis 105 attack , attached to her baby daughter, reduced the drugs intake she might have chosen to live . Just conjecture since it was apparently an accidental overdose , not suicide.

FWIW from TMZ "Sources say Moe also told cops that in the months leading up to Smith's death, Howard K. Stern gave her "some types of drugs," though he didn't specifically know which. As he put it, "Anna was in a cloud."

And there's this: Although Moe has not told cops about this, he privately says that Howard K. Stern had certain patterns of conduct when it came to Anna Nicole, and that pattern changed the day she died. We're told it has to do with how Howard would constantly check up on Anna, but he went MIA during the critical time before her death, and Moe says that was "highly strange"

Believe me Angel, I am no cospiracyphile. But just for FWIW here is a link at the bottom, and an excerp from a recent article by an Australian investigative journalist:

 For four decades there have been rumours that Marilyn Monroe's death was not a simple suicide. Now a Los Angeles-based Australian writer and director, Philippe Mora, has uncovered an FBI document that throws up a chilling new scenario.

Not belittle the passing of a fellow human being or anything, but I just loved The Daily Show's slant on the media coverage devoted to Anna Nicole's death. Their headline?....

Death Of A Person

Followed by fantastically satorial snippets of real "news" coverage whereby the reporters are just talking about nothing but vein speculation. Hillarious!

On the third day he took me to the river
He showed me the roses and we kissed
And the last thing I heard was a muttered word
As he stood smiling above me
With a rock in his fist

They call me the wild rose
But my name was Eliza Day
Why they call me it I do not know
For my name was Eliza Day

Did you see the 'Death Fridge' clips?

I love the way the talking heads flit between faux-sombre and full-on salacious slavering.

No wait, I don't love it.

On the third day he took me to the river
He showed me the roses and we kissed
And the last thing I heard was a muttered word

Why they call me it I do not know

Here is an article from TMZ   http://www.tmz.com/  : 

The Broward County Medical Examiner confirmed that none of the 11 drugs that were found in Anna Nicole Smith's hotel room were prescribed to Smith.

FOX News anchor Greta Van Susteren obtained documents from Dr. Joshua Perper's office which shows that of the 11 drugs, eight were prescribed to Howard K. Stern, two were prescribed to Alex Katz and one was prescribed to Anna's personal shrink, Dr. Khristine Eroshevich. We don't know who Katz is, but Perper acknowledged one thing that was clear -- Dr. Eroshevich wrote all 11 prescriptions.

Perhaps most interesting, the chloral hydrate that was the major cause of Anna's death (and was prescribed to Stern) was in a duffel bag in the hotel room. As Greta said, Anna was too weak to even get out of bed to go to the bathroom, so how did she get out of bed to rummage through the duffle bag and get the chloral hydrate? Van Susteren pressed Perper for an answer; the doctor said he asked Stern, Eroshevich and the bodyguard if they gave her the drugs and they all said the didn't. [ OK then , than ends that question.  ]

Perper also acknowledged it was a bad idea for Anna to take sedatives in the morning, given she was already too weak to get out of bed. Perper said even if someone else gave her the drugs, "It's not wise for sure, but it's not homicide."

[ A legal determination from a medical man. That ends that avenue of questioning.       ]

[ Read the warning on a bottle of a controlled sustance that prohibits giving that substance to anyone besides the  person the perscription is for.]  Dr, Pepper never did , I guess. ]

As DL knows , we all like a mystery.

It astounds me that this stuff is still being brought up.  The late 50's and early 60's were a strange time for the FBI- lots of paranoia and fabrication, with particular focus on the entertainment industry.   (read the Donald Spoto bio for "what really went on between Marilyn Monroe and the Kennedys."  It's not exciting, but reality often in't.)

I really don't think it's trickery to give a self destructive person the means to overdose.  In theory, if she ingested the pills, whatever her intentions were, how much of that can be blamed on other people?  Even if there is a tiny bit of truth about RFK asking Lawford if Marilyn was dead yet, a lot of folks probably did.  Like Anna, she was a train wreak.

As far as the other, less famous blonde...

It's not unusual to take other people's Rx drugs, or to get your friends to have them prescribed for them- perhaps even with a well paid doctor's help.   Like the article said, "it's not homicide."

Just to keep this thread going, here is a TMZ poll ( hardly admissable at a court of law in the US-  or the Bahamas for that matter       ) :

Please excuse double post.

On a day filled with huge news stories like Don Imus and the woman's basketball team at Rutgers University, the really big news just came out.  The DNA results are in and...

Anna Nicole's baby was sired by LARRY BIRKHEAD!

But we pretty much knew that, didn't we?

(from thesuperficial.com) 

Two of Anna Nicole Smith's diaries from the early 1990's were made available by the Associated Press yesterday and are to be auctioned off in a few weeks. The diaries include insights on her struggles with food, her use of drugs, and her deep love for her then-husband, J. Howard Marshall II.

On her weight
"I've been really stressed out lately and depressed and I can't quit eating. I feel like a pig."

On meeting Paul Marciano, CEO of Guess
"O my Gosh!! Paul Marsiano called today to see if I got his books also I'm gonna go to San Antonio to do photo shoot. I'm so excited!! I can't believe this. This could be it." The entry ends with five smiley faces.

On buying $3,000 worth of clothing at Neiman Marcus
"I'm so happy they look great. I hope it empresses Paul Marsiano. ... I'm starving!! I've been starving myself."

On drugs
On June 13, 1992, she wrote that she was hung over and watched a movie at home, adding that she "Took a Zandrex!"

On J. Howard Marshall, who was 63 years older than her
"Howard has been buying me som jewelry but he call me 15 or 20 times a day it drives me crazy. I love him but he aggravates me somtimes. I don't no what to do about Paul hes strange guy. I hate for men to want sex all the time." The entry ends with the word "Chow!" written in large letters and underlined.

More on J. Howard Marshall
"Hes so very weak and fragile When I touch him Im afraid he might break. If Jesus desides to take him I dont no what I'll do. I love him so much it hurts me to site and watch him when hes hurting I just want to hold him touch him let him no how much I care."

********

Chow?  There's irony in that, I think.

Oh, no, Susan. That just gave me a mental image of Anna eating puppy chow, then eating a chow.
