Similar Drug Questions, Different Celebrity

Earlier today RCC reported on the continuing questions around Michael Jackson’s death; yesterday the Los Angeles Times procured documents from the investigation of Anna Nicole Smith’s doctors. Psychiatrist Khristine Eroshevich and internist Sandeep Kapoor, as well as Howard K. Stern, Smith’s attorney and boyfriend, are all under investigation for the circumstances around Smith’s February 2007 death.

 According to the documents, three separate pharmacists warned the men about the combination of drugs they were requesting, which according to MSN.com was: “two sedatives, 300 tablets of methadone, a muscle relaxer, an anti-inflammatory drug and four bottles of a strong painkiller.”

One pharmacist told them she would not fill the prescription because she thought, “They are going to kill her with this.”

MSN further reports that, “The documents also cite evidence that both physicians crossed professional boundaries by having sexual contact with their famous patient.”

A preliminary hearing for the three men is scheduled to begin next month.
