Relatives suspect drugs link in Anna Nicole’s death

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.

Dr Joshua Perper, the Broward County medical examiner, said no illegal drugs were found the dead woman’s room at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in Hollywood. He would not identify the prescription drugs.

But CNN quoted an unidentified law enforcement source as saying investigators found a large amount of prescription medicine, including Valium and antibiotics, and over-the-counter cold and flu medication.
