PRESCRIPTION drugs were found in Anna Nicole Smith’s hotel room, but there were no pills in her stomach, and investigators said last night they are awaiting tests that would tell whether or not the former centrefold died of an overdose, as some close to her suspect.

The mother of former Playboy playmate and model Anna Nicole Smith blamed drugs today for her daughter’s sudden death that ended an extraordinary tabloid life at just 39.

Anna Nicole Smith, the former Playboy playmate whose bizarre life careened from marriage to an octogenarian billionaire to the untimely death of her son, died today after collapsing at a Florida hotel, her lawyer said.

Anna Nicole Smith will be forced to have her baby daughter undergo paternity tests, after a Los Angeles court ordered her to return to the Californian city.

Anna Nicole Smith has been ordered to take her infant daughter to California for paternity tests sought by a former boyfriend who claims he is the father of the child.

A judge is to rule on a request by an ex-boyfriend of Anna Nicole Smith to order the former Playboy Playmate and her baby daughter to come to California to paternity test the child.

The question of whether DNA testing can be done on Anna Nicole Smith’s baby remains unanswered, according to a lawyer involved in the paternity suit.
