What was the official cause of death for Anna Nichol Smith?

Question

I thought they were going to release the results in the following weeks and it's now been two weeks since the funeral. Why the delay?

Answer 1

News-


HOLLYWOOD -- Seminole tribal police and Bahamian authorities are meeting about the probe into Anna Nicole Smith's death, but prosecutors in South Florida said Wednesday no homicide investigation was under way.

Royal Bahamas Police Commissioner Paul Farquharson and some detectives were in Florida meeting with the Seminoles, Assistant Commissioner Reginald Ferguson confirmed. He declined to elaborate.

A spokesman for the Seminole tribe did not return phone calls seeking comment.

The Broward County state attorney's office denied news reports that prosecutors had met with Seminole police to discuss Smith's death.

"There was no meeting today; there was no meeting yesterday," spokesman Ron Ishoy said.

"We are continuing to help law enforcement agencies and the medical examiner as they try and figure out the nature of this death," Ishoy said, adding: "This is not a homicide investigation."

Smith was found unresponsive in her room at the Seminole hard Rock Hotel & Casino on Feb. 8. An initial autopsy report showed no immediate indication of a drug overdose and no sign of major external injuries on the 39-year-old former Playboy playmate and reality TV star.

The release of the full autopsy was delayed last week after the Seminoles gave additional evidence to Dr. Joshua Perper, the chief medical examiner for Broward County. Perper hasn't said what the additional evidence is.

He said Wednesday that he had not been told of any criminal probe, and that his findings would be released in about a week.

Meanwhile, attorneys for Smith's estate and a man who claims to own the waterfront home where she lived in the Bahamas met with a judge there Wednesday, but said the session did not resolve their dispute.

G. Ben Thompson, a South Carolina developer who briefly dated Smith, says he advanced her money for the $900,000 house but she did not honor an agreement to repay the debt. Smith, who lived there in the months before her death Feb. 8, claimed the house was a gift.

The former Playboy Playmate's companion, Howard K. Stern, has remained at the gated house known as "Horizons" with Smith's 6-month-old daughter, Dannielynn.

Another meeting was scheduled for Friday.

Smith was buried in the Bahamas last month next to her son, Daniel, whose death Sept. 10 there is also still under investigation.

Answer 2

Well, with Anna Nicole Smith the police found new evidence that caused Dr. Joshua Perper to without the results.

Answer 3

The coroner (medical examiner) still has not released the results of the autopsy and the various laboratory tests which were conducted after her death. It was supposed to have been released when their findings were made official. But: It will take as long as it takes. They will not release the cause of death as long as there is no firm medical cause of death yet established.

Answer 4

The short answer is, no one knows what the cause of death is yet, because although the coroner knows what it is, he's not releasing the information to the public and the press yet. Don't worry, when it's announced, you'll hear about it.

Answer 5

other mitigating factors held up the results from being made public. i think some foul play issues came up. the results are in. they just cant be released yet. maybe next week.

Answer 6

They have not released the results due to new evidence...homicide cops did go to the bahamas but nothing has happened yet

Answer 7

According to the autopsy she was injected with a lot of drugs under 2 min. and she died right then and there.
