Cause of Anna Nicole’s Death Known, But Still a Secret


The cause of Anna Nicole Smith’s death has been determined, but will not be announced for up to two weeks to allow police time to close their investigation.

Anna Nicole, who tragically passed away Feb. 8, was just 39-years-old at the time of her death at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Hollywood, Florida.

Broward County Medical Examiner Joshua Perper also revealed he’s implemented the delay to make sure none of the investigators' findings change any of his own findings, his office stated Thursday.

While a preliminary autopsy last month indicated that Smith did not appear to be a victim of foul play, the final reports will finally allow the former model and Playboy Playmate to rest in peace.

I think Howard truely loved Anna and her kids. If Anna was being used by howard, i think she would have known it. She did with all the other people in her life.
Howard was with her for 12 yrs, and i really think Anna would have realised he was out for her money in that time. But he wasn’t, so she kept him around. You guys gotta give this girl more credit then she’s getting. Everyone is saying she didn’t know what she was doing, well maybe she didn’t *after* her son died.( Not many people would) Especially a former addict. If that was me, i’d be reaching for something to numb the pain too, and my boyfriend wouldn’t stop me.
But she knew what she was doing when daniel was alive. Leave poor Howard alone.You guys are so quick to judge him, but he was there for her all the time, her own, using mother wasn’t.
Virgie must be really out to piss Anna off, cause she’s going for custody of Danielynn, respect your daughters wishes and let the little girl stay with Howard.
He was the one and only person left, who really loved Anna.

The media has nothing to do with this tape. Is anybody really listening?
It is HOWARD STERN telling ANNA NICOLE that this insulting and dehumanizing tape is worth MONEY!!!
Anna’s reply.. huh ?? why???
Oh yes, now there is somebody of sound mind and body that is being treated like a queen by the so called man who loves her.
This is a crime.. I cannot believe for the life of me that people can be so clueless…
Howard Stern is a MONSTER!! as are many of the men who travelled in and out of Anna Nicoles life. She was being abused but was unable to coherantly see it and that is such a tragedy in of itself.
Anna Nicole could no more decide what she cocktail of drugs she wanted for breakfast, let along who should care for her daughter. I am pretty safe to assume that if child protective services had been notified Anna Nicole and Howard Stern who not have had that baby in thier care. Anna Nicole would have been afforded the detoxification program she required in order to be a mother to this child and the rug would have been tugged out from under that beast Stern.
I also believe in Karma..
What comes around.. goes around…and one day all who did not do right by Anna Nicole will pay.

How can anybody living in some drug enduced haze make qualified decisions about who should be in charge of the carefor of her child ? Anna Nicole was unable to care for herself, let alone her child. She was a junky that lived with her pusher. A pusher who knew he stood to earn a vast amount of money by simply being attached to Anna Nicole.
She needed qualified help.. not a drug runner. She needed rehab- love and support, not somebody mocking and making fun of her painted face and mental state.
Mr. Stern is heard saying” Some people say you have lost your mind, do you think you have lost your mind ?? “
You consider this love? You consider that drug enduced haze Anna is in as being mentally stable and well ??
If I were to see my spouse in such a state, I would move heaven and earth to get them help before thier life ended in tragedy like Anna’s did.
Junkys dont make good or well informed decisions. Junkys dont make good parents and they dont make good partners until they receive the help they so desperately need in order to lead a somewhat successul normal life.
Nobody gets clean in a few days.. sometimes it takes monthes or even years, but the truth remains the truth.
Those who professed to love Anna Nicole so very much, are the very people who did NOTHING in order to save her for not only herself but her son and daughter also. We now have two people in the ground and a child who will grow up without her mother. Those same God fearing Anna Nicole loving people have still done what they have always done…
…..A BIG FAT NOTHING!!!!!…..

Ohhh if only the dead could speak..

I never watched this video clip before and it is indeed, very sad. Howard K Stern may have been innocently teasing her, but it still was not a nice thing to do. I have not had an opinion on whether Howard was a good man or not though. I do not know him, and we can not always believe anything from the media.

My opinion is that Anna’s wishes should be carried out, and her will should be taken seriously. Howard may not have been the nicest man, but out of the people she knew, he seemed to be the one Anna relied on, and who she took as her closest companion. I believe Anna to have been a sweet person and far too trusting. This whole situation is so terrible, and now the fate of her baby is to be decided.

I hope everyone who is religious, will pray for that poor little precious child. I dread to think of how her life may turn out, and she is going to be so hurt later on, by all the adverse publicity about her Mum.

The real truth may never come out. But, I know everyone is wanting the best for Danielynn. The start she has had in life has been so terrible. As for the video clip, it certainly does seem unnecessarily cruel of Howard.

It is hard for anybody to say thus far how Anna Nicole actually died, but I assure you truth even in resounding silence is still just that ” Truth “.
It seems to me that Anna Nicole as sweet as she was, was not all that bright. She was surrounded by alot of people who were nothing more than vultures and snakes. Something tells me that her death will very likely be similar to her sons, and that Howard Stern is in this knee deep. I also for the life of me cannot understand how this Howard K. Stern proffeses to have loved anna so much and yet did NOTHING to stop her drug abuse before, during or after her pregnancy. I also witnessed the tape being played in court where Anna Nicole is barely coherant. Mr Stern makes a comment to her about ” Being on some so called bad Mushroon trip “.
Anna’s reply is huh ?? what???
Her face is painted like that of a clown and her gaze is without much expression. She is obviously out of it and seems to be upset by Howards teasing her. The sad part of that was the beautiful swell of her belly, obvious proof that Anna Nicole had recently given birth and this child in in the stroller her mother is useing to remain standing.
Thats how we show love to those we simply can’t live or be without?
Mr Stern as many others, stand to inherit a very LARGE sum of money should the Howard Marshall case ever be settled and whoever has the custody of the baby at this time will over see this money. Somebody advised Anna well when it came to nameing Danielynn as well. Do notice that most everybody she has ever been with that has any kind of wealth has had thier last named tagged to this wee innocent newborn, including the now deceased Howard Marshall. Anna Nicole lived a tragic life, one I would not have wished on anybody. She was a simple southern girl with simple sometimes muddy values.
She was sadly unable to see clearly enough to determine her friends from her enemies and in the end I fear, this cost her her life. As for her mother, I have been there..I have had to watch one of my children suffer at the hands of a snake. Money or not, those snakes all use the same tactics.
Lies, threats, coersion, browbeatig, drugs, humiliation and even blackmail.
Some people will do anything to get thier hands on money, including murder and yes, some people are void of a heart or soul.
I know far to well the pain of being isolated from my child. Watching from a distance as they are swallowed up by some cruel downward spiral they are unable to see coming. There is very little one can do but pray they make it out somehow. Pray they will take that outstretched hand and survive. Sadly, tragically not everybody will be as fortunate as I was. Parents and thier kids disagree at times and on occasion fall out and these are the type of people that those ” Snakes ” out there are looking for. Those who seem desperate, alone, lost and confused. It is just to easy at that point to take over thier lives with the promise of undying, unending devotion. They just seem to know all the right things to say in order to gain and keep control of that person who grows sicker and sicker daily under thier so called care. Go easy on Anna’s mother, after all she lost her daughter and that can NEVER EVER be without pain for any kind of reconcillation or healing has now been made impossible.
I am also certain that this mother would do most anything just to hold her daughter once more in her arms, if only for a moment.
For now, all we can do is wait for the results of Anna’s autopsy, as well as the paternity test. Perhaps we should all pray that none of these gold diggers are Danielynns biological father. None of them thus far have shown any true loyalty or respect for the so called mother of this child they seem to want and love so desperately. I have had a sick uneasy feeling in the pitt of my stomache since this entire ordeal began. I also fear for the safety of this child while she is under the care of Howard K Stern and isolated by thousands of miles and morals in the Bahamas.
We can only pray that when the results are in, somebody.. anybody will DO THE RIGHT THING and protect this child from those very snakes who cost her the lives of not only her brother, but her mother as well. Danielynn will grow up, she will see the way the press and people treated her mother and I can only imagine the bitterness and anger she will also carry because us such callous behavior. Give Anna Nicole a break. She died because she dared leave Texas,She died because she dared to dream. Anna Nicole suffered while she was here, make no mistake, but who are we to make certain that even in death, her pain and suffering are to linger and remain ??

I will leave you with these words to ponder, as my mother always said:

” The next time you are looking down on somebody, it had best be because you are indeed helping them up “.

P.S.
For those of you who think Howard K Stern is such a good man and devoted father, I suggest you view the tape from the recent trial where Anna is painted like a clown, slurring her speach, unable to have a civil conversation. I have posted the link below for you to cut and paste.
Mr. Stern teases, humiliates and degrades her about being on a bad Mushroom trip. If he is still a good man in your eyes, I will have lost all faith in humanity forever more.

Someone said this;

It also does not matter what Anna wanted as far as her baby is concerned. if she wanted Howard to be the dady then she should have had him get her pregnant. But she chose Birkhead.
————-
In answer to that, it happens that Anna never deliberately chose anyone in particular to father a child. A few men have stepped forward saying they could be the father.

But, Anna did choose Howard to be by her side and to act as the father to her baby. I wish people could respect her wishes, no matter how ‘wrong’ they may appear to some. It seems that to leave a will and to make wishes well known have NO relevance to reality, after death. Does this fact frighten people, the way it should??
