Anna Nicole Smith: “A Serious Crime Has Been Committed”
Just like her idol, Marilyn Monroe, Anna Nicole Smith’s death is shrouded in mystery and suspicions of murder. On Friday, search warrants were executed at the homes and offices of doctors who had prescribed medication for the former model. In all, six locations were searched, including the office of Dr. Khristine Eroshevich, who was her psychiatrist, and the home and office of Dr. Sandeep Kapoor, who prescribed the prescription Methadone to Smith shortly before her death:
The [Los Angeles County District Attorney's Office] began investigating in March because “dangerous drugs … were part of the death of Anna Nicole Smith, and I learned that these were California doctors and California prescriptions,” Attorney General Jerry Brown said at a news conference.
Brown declined to speculate on what charges the doctors might face if it was determined they improperly prescribed drugs, but indicated they might be serious.
“You don’t go to a judge and get a search warrant for somebody’s home unless you think some rather serious crime has been committed,” Brown said.
According to Eroshevich’s attorney, Gary Lincenberg, the searches had nothing to do with attempting to implicate the psychiatrist in Smith’s death:
[H]e told KNBC-TV that the investigation only concerned whether prescriptions to Smith were proper.
“This has nothing to do with whether or not Dr. Eroshevich in any way contributed to Anna Nicole Smith’s death,” he said.
Which, of course, makes perfect sense. If the medications were improper for Anna Nicole, there is no way they could have contributed to her death. If they were proper, Anna Nicole could not have taken too many at one time or mixed them with medication from other doctors. Of course not. Anna Nicole was too in control of herself to ever do anything like that.
According to documents, there were 11 prescriptions found in Anna Nicole’s room when she died on February 8, and all were authorized by Eroshevich. She had also traveled to Florida with Anna Nicole. Also, more than 600 pills, including more than 450 muscle relaxants, were missing from bottles of medication that were at the most five weeks old.
