Yeah, I opened it and it didn't say where Stern was - unless we're talking about a different link.
It just said it's not a criminal investigation.
Now, I think what that means is: they're taking it on face value right now that ANS suffocated on her own vomit. Nobody can make that happen to you directly, without pushing your face in it - and she may not have been found face down. (That's just an example - lots of other possibilities.)
After the autopsy, then they'll have to state a Cause of Death. At that point, we'll know if they're going to call the "manner of death" natural causes, homicide, suicide, or unknown, as to the whether the drugs caused the death.
If she had thrown up the drugs, then there may not have been enough of them in her system to cause her death. Beyond that, then they would have to get into where the drugs came from and why they were there.
Maybe the best we can hope is that it's "unknown" and there will be a coroner's inquest, which isn't a criminal investigation, unless homicide is listed, but is conducted a lot like one.
Stern isn't even an eyewitness, as such, because he wasn't in the room when it happened (how conveeennnient) - but he is still a material witness as to the why's and wherefore's of how Anna Nicole came to be found dead in *that room*.
Thanks for the info.
But I thought Stern WAS in the room with her when she collapsed. Has anyone accounted his whereabouts today?
I just noticed. You and I were chatting on the astronaut thread. That story has sure dropped off the radar.
