Dr. Malloy: Anna Nicole Smith's Death
UPDATED: 11:29 am CST February 11, 2007
Here's a look at the reports released so far about the death of Anna Nicole Smith. To analyze them, you have to read between the lines.
Anna died in her room at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel and Casino on Thursday. On the next day Dr. Joshua Perper, performed her autopsy and issued a report on the investigation to date. Here are the preliminary result:
No illegal drugs were found in her room.
The meaning of this is not clear. Anna's nurse, her bodyguard and Howard K. Stern had access to the room before the examiners arrived.
There was no evidence at autopsy of long term drug abuse.
This would mainly focus on injectable drugs.
There were no drugs in the stomach.
Drugs cab absorb quickly. Also, they may have been taken earlier and them followed by alcohol. Consider that potent drugs, such as morphine, come in liquid forms.
There was no evidence of large amount of prescription medications in the bloodstream.
Tests for multiple medications take time. Only a basic screen for the most common "overdose" drugs would have been available by Friday, when the medical examiner made the statement.
Some inflammation was perhaps seen in the heart. "Something which looks a little but unusual." If inflammation of the heart was present, the heart would be irritable and deadly arrthymias would be more likely.
What will happen now?
There will be microscopic examination of all the major organs. Complete results of the blood tests and toxic screens will be gathered.
A panel of medical specialists and law enforcement will review the results and issue a report.

Morning, I wonder what he would have become had his mother dropped him on the other side of his head. :)
Good morning Kat! Morning Dez!
Hey Dez, ya know what we need? Someone to post a picture of a huge long mahagony table with leather chairs all around it. (Got the idea from docs post of the coffee and donuts)
Good morning--just trying to get caught up.
