Celebrity Justice
Criminal Probe Into Anna's Prescriptions

TMZ has learned the California Department of Justice (DOJ) is conducting a criminal investigation into several doctors who prescribed various medicines to Anna Nicole Smith.

Sources tell TMZ the DOJ's Bureau of Narcotics Enforcement has contacted Larry Birkhead, Big Mo (Anna's bodyguard) and others. We're told DOJ is particularly interested in two doctors -- Khristine Eroshevich and Sandeep Kapoor. TMZ broke the story that Dr. Kapoor prescribed methadone to Anna under an assumed name when she was eight months pregnant. Dr. Eroshevich ordered a virtual pharmacy of drugs for Anna, five days after her son Daniel died.

Dr. Eroshevich, who was in the Bahamas with Anna, sent the prescription wish list to Dr. Kapoor. Kapoor's attorney, Ellyn Garofalo, told TMZ "Dr. Kapoor declined the request for prescriptions. He would never prescribe that combination of drugs, in such large dosages, to any patient."

The Medical Board of California launched its own investigation of the two doctors earlier this year. That investigation is pending.

By the way, TMZ has learned Dr. Kapoor is in the process of having twins via a surrogate.

9737. 9747. Peggy true
I don't think we know what drugs were injected. No matter what route the drugs were delivered it was fatal. To think she could live forever on that regime would be insane. I can hardly believe her caretaker Howard was that ignorant of opiates. Anna didn't have a chance without extensive professional help. It was just a matter of time.

He was not ignorant. He played the game and Anna lost. He is now playing with lawyers and judges. I would have never believed they could all be payed off, but now I do. Two judges have already retired. They have been investigated. Think about whose next??

Peggy,
I zoomed in, but I didn't see anything unusual. It's probably my computer. I do have tinted clear nail polish in different shades. Maybe she was wearing a bluish tint of clear polish???

9739. annnas right thumb reall shows a blue tinge to it, but look on the expression of her eyes. blank staring straight ahead

9740. Buttercup,The bluish tint is at the begiining of the nail. Look real hard. She actually had no polish on.

9741. Okay,

I zoomed in as much as I could, and yes her cuticles have a blue hue.

Howard's fingers are also red. I wonder if that was maybe from the "cold temp" in the boxing match?

9742. Windi, It is in the bottom of her nails.

9743. Peggy:

I didn't see MRSA on the Autopsy report but that doesn't mean a lot. I do not have any trust in Dr. Perper any more. I will google the info you gave me. Thank you.

I still think the abscesses were from Chloral Hydrate being injected into Anna. Dr. Perper states that the only way for Anna's death to be homicide would be for someone to force this medicine down her throat. That is WRONG!

The real problem is that there have been so many lies! I have got to were I do not believe anything until I see it with my one eyes with proof but even then can you.

The picture on the link looks like the one that was published along side the WWE photos. Look at the larger photo and then at the smaller one on the right . The reason I remember is because she is so puffy looking. I remembered that I looked a little puffy in the face after my child was born and I wondered if it had anything to do with the fact that we both have an auto-immune disease.

9744. 9755. Okay,

I zoomed in as much as I could, and yes her cuticles have a blue hue.

Howard's fingers are also red. I wonder if that was maybe from the "cold temp" in the boxing match?

We are talking about the picture of them going to the hardrock. No boxing match!

9745. 9721. 7669. Good Evening---
Forensic pathologist Cyril Wecht says Daniel died from a combination of methadone, Zoloft and Lexapro that led to cardiac dysrhythmia. Howard hired him....and then-he whitewashed his report? Something is wrong here--Who did the first autosy? That person got fired because of talking about it being suspicious? Are the results known? It's being hushed up?-Don't you think that O'Quinn has investigated and talked to that M.E. and knows the truth? Is the first M.E. on the list as a witness for Daniel's inquest?

The first ME is # 30 on the witness list for the inquest ! Not Linda Vigill ! The results are sealed until inquest because they do not concur with Wecht !

you just know this pic was taken post-daniel.
howard and anna were NEVER seen holding hands.
he was setting the stage to continue his big fat lie.

look at him, just making sure the camera see him holding annas hand.

the germy maggot, i hope he rots a little at a time in a prison cell.

Posted at 1:10AM on Jul 24th 2007 by STERNOIDS LIKE TWISTING THE TRUTH! it aint workin\\\'

9747. 9595. Someone who knows said there are actually 85 pictures of Daniel!! But only Howard K. Stern knows the truth to that, I guess. IMO!!!

I had heard they were on the market for a while with no takers. Then I heard that "someone" had bought the photos just to get them off the auction block. They were so disgusted and did not want them published. Still, ET pressed on with more and more of the fake interviews with HKS. It is called biased journalsim

9748. Peggy,

I always thought that picture was taken in January, either entering the HardRock upon arrival or leaving the boxing match. Anna is wearing the same glasses I think that she was wearing during the match.

I don't think anna had Mrsa [Methicillin resistant staph aureus.] Maybe staph but not methicillin resistant.
As far as her having the flu I doubt it. She seemed to be having withdrawals.
The Cipro that was given was an oral dose of 500mg probably given as a prophylactic. Cipro is only given twice daily. Oral Cipro is a heavy duty antibiotic but hardly enough to help Anna's infection [abscess]. Her death could have been prevented until the next time. She surely was on a path to death and had an enabler to ensure it would happen sooner or later. She never had a chance.

9750.
9616. Just the facts
I think that everyone on this site will agree that ANNA WANTED TO BE WITH DANIEL. The point that you are missing is that Anna DID NOT want her son buried in the Bahamas. HKS himself, IN COURT said that she wanted Daniel to be buried in Claifornia. .....

Gto,
Anna wanted to be with Daniel, yes, meaning she wanted Daniel with her, too. It did not mean she wanted to die. Altho you have not said Anna had a death wish, many readers believe she did because of how she worded it.
