So what do you think of the coroner's report on Anna Nicole Smith's exact cause of death?

Question

And by the way, if you don't care, don't answer! And if you are wondering why the heck I care, it's because I take most of the same drugs she did and even more concerning, I take the exact ones that killed her son, Daniel. I found it all a bit confusing. First of all, how did she develop a septic infection that went away a few hours later? Sepsis almost always requires hospitalization and is often fatal. That's not what killed her though. They called it an accidental overdose but the medical examiner said that ALL the levels of the meds. were in a safe dose range and that it was a combination of the drugs that killed her. So why don't they call it RX drug interaction death? ANYWAYS. And I still find it so distubing that she had a 105 degress temp. and NO ONE forced her to go to the hospital! I mean, if you have a temp. that high you are practically dead and totally delusional, right? Like a person with a temp. that high knows what's best for them. (Cont'd)

NOW FOR THE INTERESTING PART! Methadone is very rarely used for pain, there are so many more drugs that are much more effective and no so addictive. It sounds like she's been on methadone for a long time. However, she hadn't taken it in several days atleast according to a study of her bile (yuck). I have taken methadone for two years and I must go to a special clinic to get dosed EVERY DAY. If I don't, I go through extreme withdrawl within about 36 hrs. of not taking the drug. If I don't take it for several days, I am going through severe withdrawl with too many awful symptoms to mention. It's hell. It's not a drug that is supposed to be taken "AS NEEDED". It's very rarely used for pain and is mostly used for OPIATE ADDICTS. That is, people addicted to drugs such as heroin or legal ones like oxycotin, morphine, vicodin, and so forth. I myself take it for heroin, oxycotin, and vicodin addiction. It is far more likely she was taking it for the same reason! (Cont'd)

They shouldn't mislead us. Her medical records can't be revealed due to the privacy law. But why tell us she was taking methadone for pain? What kind of pain? I mean even people with terrible back pain usually just learn to cope with it because doctors won't readily prescribe such addictive drugs. Unless you're a celebrity. She never was in an accident. So, why was she taking painkillers? It was probably because she liked the feeling. That's so sad that if you're so famous and rich that there are doctors who will give you whatever. She was also on three different types of anti-anxiety drugs that are VERY addictive. Any psychiatrist will tell you that one type of this class of drugs is plenty. I take Xanax and have taken Valium. Last week, I got very depressed and took about 20 of them and was lucky to wake up. I also was taking the methadone and taking anti-depressants. I was also drinking as Anna probably did as well. It wasn't a suicide attempt, (cont'd)

I was just trying to feel better probably just like Anna was most of the time. I'm telling you all of this because I'm trying to show that there are so many non-famous people out there that have the same problems and it should be a wake-up call. I'm sure you all know someone with either a drug (legal or not) problem and they should know the dangers of interactions and accidental overdoses. I wished someone had been able to convince Anna she needed help. And I do totally blame Howard. He was her supplier, he blindly watched her slowly kill herself. I'm not saying he wanted her to die. He just wanted her to be in such a stupor that she'd listen to what he said like "Let's put my name on Dannielynn's birth certificate even though I'm not her Dad" while secretly saying "That way when you drug yourself to death, I get custody and control of her entire estate." I don't know how they still can't find Howard culpable atleast a bit? Continue reading if you want!

ALSO,WHAT'S THE DEAL WITH THE NEAR DROWNING INCIDENT? Was she in a pool and just too drugged up to swim? Why wasn't someone like "Umm... ANNA, I think you are way too incoherent to swim?" and who saved her? And why did they say it could've been a suicide attempt? STRANGE! And this was not all brought on by the death of her son. Look what a mess she was on her reality show! She was acting totally like someone who was on way too high of a dose of methadone which looks much like someone who just shot up a bunch of heroin. Taking tons of anti-anxiety pills will do this as well. She wasn't drunk nor was it as some claim "Her Personality". I've seen enough footage from the early 90's to know that was not her personality! I personally, didn't care for Anna like probably a lot of you. She was a horrible actress. Her claim to fame were those obscenely large implants. Her face was just average, a lot of people can look like Mariliyn Monroe with the right make-up (cont'd AGAIN!)

make-up artists, and the best photographers! I know I could! She also was a total gold-digger. All strippers are, NO exception. I was an exotic dancer and if I could support boobies that big on my tiny frame, I'd be getting myself a sugar daddy as well! She still was a human being and many close to her said she was sweet which may be true. So I'm not saying I hate her when I didn't even know her. Just that she really didn't deserve a celebrity status. I guess her biggest claim to fame besides her boobs was the fact she was about to become one of the richest women in America. Her daughter is adorable and I hope she gets a wonderful childhood and the paparazzi leaves her alone. I hope she also doesn't inherit her mom's addictive ways and I hope she ultimately ends up with the person who can be the best daddy as her dad although I think Larry and Howard just want the money, I'm sorry but it's true, right? (Cont'd)

I'm going to make this my LAST paragraph. I'm just venting my opinions which I have every right to do. So don't criticize me! I hope our society can make these young stars like Britney and Lindsay realize that addicion is no joke! There is a difference between addiction and partying. However, too much partying and you can end up like so many other young celebrities that died from it. Look at River Phoenix. I don't think he was an addict. He was just trying to "cop" a buzz. Someone needs to step in and force these young stars to realize the dangers of their actions and though they may be in control now, they could end up like Anna 10 or 15 years later! We all know they drink, do coke, and probably take pills like Xanax and Oxycotin for fun and to relieve stress. As do so many non-famous people. I think Anna's death is a bit of a wake-up call for me. I'm going to try to wean myself off of Methadone slowly and the next time I feel like getting high, talk to someone.

Answer 1

Thanks for all of your shared information. I DID read it all , & hadn't caught the whole story on the news as of yet. I've known several friends on Methadone, including my Mom, & you are correct about it being primarily a treatment for heroin addicts. It is still prescribed in some situations, tho many physicians question it's value vs it's harmful nature.

Anna is/was a lost soul in my judgement. She really seemed to be overwhelmed & defeated by the constant legal assaults & suits which had become her way of life. I truly pray she is in a better place w her son. God Bless YOU for caring!!

Answer 2

Read an editorial. All of them say, "Cause of demise unknown." And in which do you feel we are all going to get our knowledge? A information feed like Yahoo of path. I'd wager cash the coroner is not on Yahoo solutions watching to reply the query earlier than liberating it to the clicking.

Answer 3

I'm glad you were able to vent and get a lot of your feelings off your chest.

It's a good question why they didn't rule it a drug interaction death. From your accounts, and the media's accounts of the last months and years of her life, she was surrounded by people who didn't care as much as they should have. Instead of allowing her to be in a pool while incoherent, they should have kept her from going in in the first place. I once had a 105 degree temperature, but were were able to stabilize and reduce it at home. Had it remained at that temp for a longer period of time, or raised, my parents would have taken me to the hospital.
