Officials Reexamining Anna Nicole's Death

Florida officials have decided to reexamine the circumstances surrounding Anna Nicole Smith’s death.

Howard K. Stern was arrested earlier this month, along with doctors Sandeep Kapoor and Khristine Eroshevich, for allegedly supplying Anna Nicole with prescription medicine.

Ron Ishoy, the spokesman for Ft. Lauderdale State Attorney Mike Satz, said in a statement on Tuesday, “Our prosecutors have met with representatives of the Los Angeles district attorney's office and the California Department of Justice and discussed the evidence they have turned up in their investigation.”

"We are now investigating that evidence to see where it might lead in relation to Ms. Smith's death here in Broward County in 2007."

Legal experts say that the Florida prosecutors may reopen the case if they find evidence that the defendants illegally administered drugs to Smith, which ultimately caused her death.

It’s not looking good for Stern or both doctors right now. Like California Attorney General Jerry Brown said earlier this month: "There is ample evidence that Dr. Eroshevich and Dr. Kapoor violated their ethical obligations as physicians, while Mr. Stern funneled highly addictive drugs to Ms. Smith."

No comment yet from the LA District Attorney or the California Attorney General at this time.

Finally!! Howard lied from the begining about everything the baby the death everything.. But he will probably walk away and only the doctors will be in trouble. Good luck proving he did anything wrong.

This is a tough position to be in...In this case, clearly the doctors are negligent! I don't think that any human being could have stopped Anna Nicole from self destructing! Howard is in a very nasty position, at best! I think Anna simply gave up! Life can beat you up and in Anna's case, she was a repeat recipient of drama and negativity! This isn't to diminish Howard's role in knowingly allowing her to self destruct! Whether he caved in and did what she ordered him to or not, Anna's behavior has been alarming for years, this was not the first time Anna has gone too far, unfortunately this time it's final! When a grown person decides to behave in a certain manner, knowing the possibilities of bad health, or even death, and they continue on the same path...no one other than self, is to blame! However "cheesy" Howard is, he was a mere pawn in Anna's game of...! Howard may be a flunky, out right stupid and a kept man...but his lack of morals and self respect aren't going to be on trial...! Personally, I think it is rather unfair...unless he tricked her into taking meds or whatever the poison may be...you have to keep in mind that Anna, has traveled this road before without Howard, so why now ~ why should anyone be to blame for her repeat offenses? People need to realize that Howard didn't have the power...Anna did!

The dude was a leech, making sure his food was kept stupid and compliant. They should look into her son Danny's death in the Bahama's a little more closely as well. This man is a killer and should be treated as such!

Those "professionals" need to "pay". Stern, he is a poor sap. (no I do not feel bad for him) Although he too needs to be held accountable. I'm sure Daniels death was no accident either.
