Anna Nicole Smith’s death is accidental
Anna Nicole Smith died of a casual drug overdose with no signs of criminal action, according to the Seminole Police and the Broward County Medical Examiner. Although nine different prescription drugs were found in her system, all were at therapeutic levels.
According to police chief Charlie Tiger, no criminal charges will be archived in the death of Smith. Her death was the result of a dramatic overdose of a sleeping medication, chloral hydrate, in combination with other drugs and her weakened state because of an infection.
This information seems rather strange and contradictory, as the first autopsy report, released the day after her death, found no evidence of large amounts of medication. The medical examiner said prescription drugs, but no illegal drugs, were found in Smith’s hotel room. He did not, however, name those drugs at the time.
