Cause of Anna Nicole's Death To Be Announced Monday
Dr. Joshua Perper will reveal what killed Anna Nicole Smith during a press conference at 10:30 a.m. on Monday.
Gary Bitner, the spokesperson for the Seminole Police Department, tells TMZ (http://www.tmz.com/2007/03/22/cause-of-death-in-anna-nicole-case-imminent/) that it is "going to be a significant announcement."
Bitner also said that Perper's findings "are going to provide some resolution" in Smith's death.
The following day, an inquest will begin into the death of Daniel Smith, Anna Nicole's son who died on September 10 in the Bahamas.
Among the 40 people scheduled to give evidence in the case is Smith's partner Howard K. Stern, who was present at the time of Daniel's death.
In the meantime, the custody battle over Smith's daughter Dannielynn is scheduled to resume in the Nassau court on April 3.
Stern and Smith's ex-boyfriend Larry Birkhead both claim paternity over the six-month-old.
Birkhead and Dannielynn recently submitted DNA in an effort to establish the child's paternity.
It is possible that the results of the tests will be released at that time.

Anna Nicole Smith died with a toxic level of the sleeping medication chloral hydrate in her system.

In a joint newsgathering operation, the National ENQUIRER (http://www.starmagazine.com/celebrity_news_gossip/entertainment/11596?cid=RSS#) and Star magazine have solved the mystery of the former Playboy model's death and provide a detailed portrait of her final days.

The world exclusive details come days before Broward County, Fla., Chief Medical Examiner Joshua Perper will hold a press conference to announce the former Playboy Playmate's cause of death.

The ENQUIRER and Star have also learned that Anna Nicole had a raging blood infection. The infection was caused by an unsterilized needle and contributed to her death.

The infection was so serious, it would have killed her if she had not overdosed.

Contrary to speculation, tests show Anna Nicole did not have methadone or any other painkilling drug in her system at the time of her death.

The ENQUIRER learned that just before she left the Bahamas for Florida on February 5, three days before she died, Anna Nicole received an injection in her left buttock.

Tests did not reveal what that substance was.

"As she boarded the plane for Miami, Anna Nicole developed a painful abscess at the site of the injection," said a source with knowledge of the case. "The needle wasn't sterile. The pain kept getting worse as the abscess got larger and larger very quickly."

From Miami, Anna Nicole and her live-in lawyer Howard K. Stern traveled to Hollywood (http://www.starmagazine.com/celebrity_news_gossip/entertainment/11596?cid=RSS#), Fla. The pain from the abscess became excruciating and Anna Nicole developed a high fever.

By the time she got to the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino her fever was 105.

Anna Nicole, unaware that her blood was being poisoned by infection, had also developed a second infection from a virulent form of norovirus, which causes intestinal problems.

It was at this point that Anna Nicole — and her entourage — made a fatal mistake. She refused to go to a hospital, a decision that would have saved her life.

Instead, Anna's people gave her an ice bath to control the fever, administered the antibiotic ciprofloxacin by mouth and gave her an over-the-counter flu medicine.

As the needle-caused infection took over her body, she began vomiting, had severe diarrhea and could not urinate.

On February 6, a Tuesday, Anna spent the whole day in bed. She could not keep fluids down. She was becoming severely dehydrated.

On Wednesday, February 7, Anna seemed somewhat better, but she wasn't, the source said.

"She was still vomiting and suffering diarrhea," said the source. "Again, she spent the whole day in bed, as the abscess continued to grow. She was in such pain, she just wanted to sleep."

And that's when the final fatal mistake was made. Sometime overnight on February 7, Anna ingested the sleeping medication chloral hydrate. The drug is extremely potent. The dose was too much — and in fact it was a toxic level, the ENQUIRER and Star have learned exclusively. On Thursday, February 8, Anna never woke up.

A nurse found her unresponsive at about 1:30 p.m.

At 2:49 p.m., Anna Nicole Smith was pronounced dead.

Preliminary analysis indicated the cause of death was systemic sepsis syndrome, a lethal blood infection. It was caused by the abscess of the left buttock. Further investigation revealed the fatal level of chloral hydrate.

Chloral hydrate can cause depression of respiration, especially in a person who is already sick because of an infection and dehydration and it can cause death within a relatively short period of time.

Anna Nicole also had scarring from numerous injections she got in the buttocks. Anna Nicole Smith died with a toxic level of the sleeping medication chloral hydrate in her system.

dont know who true but...

[yepperoo]

Something sounds weird because her close friend (who is a doctor) IMO would have known about the abcess and other symtoms and suggested some other treatment. On one show they questioned her friend (the female doc) and aske dif she was afraid of them taking her license away. I wonder if she was not looking out for Anna's best interests because she said last time she saw Anna she was in the tub. hmm

[Michelley]

Oh my goodness!! That is some crazy stuff! I wonder if it's true? Sounds legitimate but who knows! I guess we will find out on Monday!

My question is, if AN had a lethal does of the sleeping med "during the night", did she DIE during the night? If so, HOW in the world did HKS not know she was dead when he left the hotel around noon the next day?? Or DID he know and left anyway....? Very suspicious.

I agree with you, and also like you very much, haha! I have always had the suspicsion of HKS. I will be so glad for that darling little baby, when it is all over. I graduated in nursing, and it makes me so sad to see that many meds being given or taken by someone who in my opiniion so badly just wanted to be loved.

[Michelley]

Awww. Thanks maggi!! I like you very much too!! :cheesy:

I also can't believe that she had so many meds at her disposal. It is shocking - andI think the people around her should be held responsible for administering all of these drugs to her! :eek:

Howard Stern knew she was dead before he left the hotel. That is one reason why he was exiting the elevator as the two stoogies was entering. He wanted to get far away from the body before she was found and no one could place him in that hotel room. Taz was setup big time by HK$, and if he walks on this one, it will be a travesty of justice. On the other hand, Virgie and Birkhead will file wrongful death lawsuits in the billions of dollars that Stern would be better of dead and laying on top of Anna, because he will not have a dime to cover these lawsuits that are coming his way.
