Anna Nicole Smith: Pharmacist refused to fill "suicidal" drug order
A Los Angeles pharmacist revealed that the drugs which were prescribed by the psychiatrist to Anna Nicole Smith after her son died were "pharmaceutical suicide" and he refused to fill the prescriptions.
The Los Angeles Times reported on Monday that according to unsealed documents written by state officials, Smith's doctors were warned about prescription drugs by three pharmacists.
The investigation focuses on the role that Smith's doctors, psychiatrist Khristine Eroshevich and internist Sandeep Kapoor, had in her overdose death in February 2007.
Psychiatrist Dr. Khristine Eroshevich had prescribed for two sedatives, 300 meth tablets, a muscle relaxer, an anti-inflammatory drug and four bottles of a painkiller known as "hospital heroin".
Smith's boyfriend, attorney Howard K. Stern, and the physicians have pleaded not guilty to conspiring to illegally provide her with controlled substances.
The explosive affidavits also reveal that both physicians had sexual contact with their famous patient.
Anna Nicole Smith died on February 8, 2007 at the age of 39. Her body was found in a Florida hotel room.
A preliminary hearing on the case is set for next month.
