Smith’s boyfriend and doctors face drugs charges

THE late Anna Nicole Smith’s boyfriend and two doctors have been charged with illegally providing the ex-Playboy model with addictive prescription drugs, two years after she died of an overdose.

California’s attorney general Edmund Brown said on Thursday night that Smith’s boyfriend and attorney Howard K Stern and the two doctors — Khristine Eroshevich and Sandeep Kapoor — conspired to “repeatedly and excessively” provide Smith with drugs.

Smith, 39, was found dead in February 2007 in a Florida hotel room. Her death was ruled an accidental drug overdose.
