Anna Nicole Smith does not appear to be a victim of foul play, according to preliminary results of an autopsy performed Friday.
The cause and manner of the television celebrity's death were not determined, however, and the investigation remains open, said Dr. Joshua Perper, chief medical examiner of Broward County, Florida.
"At this time, we do not have the results of the tests that would permit us to make this determination," he said. "Our findings are limited to what we can see with our eyes." (Watch why it could take weeks to find cause of death )
Seminole Police Chief Charlie Tiger said prescription drugs were found in Smith's hotel room. However, Perper said no drugs were found in her stomach.
Smith died Thursday after her private nurse found her unresponsive in her room at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Hollywood, Florida.
"There are a number of possibilities," Perper said, including natural causes, a drug reaction or some combination of causes.
Perper said there was no indication of blunt-force trauma, asphyxiation or other physical trauma.
He said Smith had a small bruise on her back, which probably resulted from a fall in the bathtub earlier in the week.
The medical examiner said his office is awaiting results of toxicological and other tests, but there were no drugs in Smith's stomach.
He said if she had taken a large number of pills, some of the medicine would have remained in the stomach.
There also was no evidence of long-term drug abuse, Perper said.
Tiger said no evidence suggests a crime occurred and all witnesses were cooperating with the investigation.
He said police were still analyzing surveillance tapes from the hotel, but so far had seen nothing unusual.

So far they have done an autopsy (a preliminary one) but have no conclusive findings yet. They have NOT ruled out suicide or drugs, and don't know if it's natural yet.

majority of people think she killed herself because of all the stress she's been having. ever since her son died, she's been really stressed out, she probably died of overdose on pills or something... its a shock though to hear about.
