"Some medical experts claim she had the operations too soon after giving birth to her five-month-old daughter Dannielynn"
Medical Examiner Perper stated he found no evidence of "recent" surgery.
Important to know: The surgeon? Facility? Date?
Yep. I'll trust the ME on this one.
Wow, thanks sodpoodle!
Smith's body, Perper said, "showed some indication of scarring from plastic surgery, but nothing recent."

Perper said the autopsy found no needle marks, no pill residues in her stomach or any indication she had been drinking alcohol. Nor was there any evidence of recent plastic surgery, he said.

Feb. 13, 2007 — There are now at least three men claiming to be the father of Anna Nicole Smith's 5-month-old daughter, Dannielynn Hope Marshall, who stands to inherit as much as $474 million.

In addition to being Joshua Perper's former boss, Dr. Cyril Wecht performed an autopsy on Anna Nicole Smith's son.

WECHT: I will tell you this. I assume that, since no mention was made of other potentially lethal natural disease, catastrophic events, such as massive pulmonary embolism, blood clot to the lungs, a massive stroke, a heart attack, a classical heart attack, and so on, these were not found.
The only thing, I believe, that remains as a possibility to explain death as a natural disease process is a viral myocarditis, inflammation of the heart muscle fortuitously along the conducting pathway mechanism, the pathway of special nerves that controls our heartbeat.
If that is not found -- and those slides will be examined within the next couple days, into the week, allowing for the weekend -- if that is not present, then, you can look for the toxicological results to give you the ultimate answer as to this tragic death.
