Anna Nicole Smith, The Investigation

[Arizona Carolyn]

Enquirer guy:

HKS made $3 million from Paramount. Big Moe upset at HKS because of the camera on the lowering of casket at graveyard.... additional money for exclusive interviews after death of Daniel and ANS....

[redgirlinabluestate]

Since the hospital said they searched everything, do you think HKS faked that for Ford's benefit? Or is it possible the hospital missed it?

[WestCoastGal]

His profit 3 million and counting from the funeral sales per the man just on CT. Was he the ex FBI guy?

[TrishaSC]

If she's smiling and he still has the tube that's sick. I thought she had to be put down after he died?? Didn't she wake up later and they had to tell her he was dead?? Hmmmm....something is fishy. here's that last page..

[Arizona Carolyn]

Wonder is she was drugged and even knew she was posing with his dead body? Remember they had her drugged and had to tell her (again) he was dead to get her to leave hospital.

Won't say who took picture (has to be HKS,who else would sell for $200K?)

[TrishaSC]

That's some sick sh*t! Seriously...that's beyond weird.

[WestCoastGal]

That's disgusting, where do these sickos draw the line for $$$$$

[Arizona Carolyn]

yep!

[Arizona Carolyn]

Thanks... I've saved it in case we need it again tonight.

[redgirlinabluestate]

Really, what normal person is thinking of photos at that moment? Unless it's all about the HK$.....

[Arizona Carolyn]

Was Ford at the hospital? Ford Shelley has money, he doesn't need to sell pics like this for money. Who do we know beside HKS who would do something this low and perverted? Didn't he sell the pics of ANS, Daniel and the baby for $600K after Daniel died?

Oh, God! Cyril Wecht up.

[WestCoastGal]

Well who else always has a camera on hand? Probably standard equipment in the drug bag.

Anna Nicole autopsy report: Much ado about nothing!

All the world’s a stage, and a small-town medical examiner will be strutting his hour upon it today to announce his autopsy report on Anna Nicole Smith…and then will be heard from no more. But am I the only one who thinks the Florida officials dealing with the death of Anna Nicole must be drinking (or smoking) something that induces eccentric, erratic and wholly narcissistic behavior?

First we were variously entertained and outraged by the PT-Barnum performance of Judge Larry Seidlin who spent 6 days auditioning for a TV show instead of taking 6 hours to arrive at the patently-obvious decision to have Anna Nicole buried in The Bahamas.

Then there was Judge Lawrence Korda who we thought had restored judicial knowledge, temperament and dignity to the Florida bench (by punting litigation about Anna Nicole’s Will and the paternity of her baby to California and The Bahamas, respectively). Therefore, imagine our shock, dismay…and hysterical laughter when news broke last week that he was arrested for blithely smoking weed on a park bench.

Which brings me to today’s media event starring Broward County Medical Examiner Dr Joshua Perper. Because who knew that Seidlin was just an understudy to Perper when it came to doing anything to extend his 15 minutes of Anna-Nicole infamy. But this is the plot twist that has the entire world now fixated on Perper.

After all, Perper had everything he needed to determine the cause and manner of Anna Nicole’s death weeks ago. Yet he made himself the ringmaster in a circus of pundits speculating about foul play when he delayed his autopsy report - purportedly to consider new evidence. And, this delay has been made all the more farcical by media reports - um er, rumors - that this new evidence is related to the drug-induced suicidal ideations, drug solicitations and other stream-of-consciousness thoughts that Anna Nicole allegedly typed into her computer. Never mind that such thoughts are probably catalogued more reliably in her two diaries that were just sold for a half million dollars.

I am not a pathologist, and I’m not going to play one here. By the same token, however, Perper is not a detective and he should not be playing one on TV. But that’s precisely the role he’ll be playing this morning when he makes his contrived-for-TV (and thoroughly-anticlimactic) announcement. Namely, that:

Anna Nicole’s death was accidental. And, that she died from infections and other complications caused by the ingestion and/or injection of a cocktail of drugs, which was made fatal as much by her own carelessness as by the negligence of others, including Howard K. Stern, who failed to seek proper medical attention for her. Period!

Alas, anyone tuning to hear this wannabe detective announce murder charges against Howard K. Stern will be justifiably disappointed….


Inquest into death of her son Daniel in The Bahamas


Of more worthwhile interest for Anna-Nicole junkies and, I suspect, far more worrisome for Stern, is the inquest into the death of her son that is scheduled to open tomorrow in The Bahamas.

The court will take testimony from a number of witnesses, including the coroner and forensic pathologists to explain the cause (an ingestion of a more lethal cocktail of drugs in his case) and manner of death (an accident due to the unexpected but fatal chemical interaction of those drugs). Indeed, I suspect the most sensational findings will be that Stern facilitated the illegal transshipment of drugs into the country and perverted the course of justice by disposing incriminating evidence after the fact. Both of which, of course, are relatively serious crimes and would land him in jail - if found guilty as charged.

After all evidence is presented (and with 20-plus witnesses scheduled to testify, this could take two to three weeks), the 7 or 9 members of the jury will present their findings to the judge - who can reject, amend or present them as is to the prosecutors. They in turn can reject, amend or prosecute based on their discretion.

Accordingly, I predict (but don’t bet your kid’s lunch money on this) that the jury will return a verdict (by a majority) of criminal mischief against Stern with respect to the findings cited above; that he will be prosecuted; and that Stern will be found guilty and sentenced to spend a fair amount of time in our island paradise in far less accommodating confines than he has become accustomed to at the Horizons estate.

Only person capable of moving her like that is Moe.

[WestCoastGal]

I WISH WECHT WOULD GET LOST. Media whore.

[Arizona Carolyn]

or.... Stern placed them there and made a big deal of flushing them to establish an alibi with Shelley that Daniel had taken the pills....

Wecht now trashing Virgie.

[Arizona Carolyn]

We all know that now.

I hope you are all watching CTV right now, Wecht is losing it!
