Officials re-examine Anna Nicole death
Prosecutors in South Florida are taking a fresh look at evidence in the 2007 death of actress-model Anna Nicole Smith.
Broward County prosecutors recently met authorities in Los Angeles and the California Department of Justice, said a spokesman for State Attorney Michael Satz.
It followed the indictment on March 13 in California of Smith’s former boyfriend Howard K Stern and two doctors on charges of conspiring to illegally prescribe drugs for Smith.
Broward County prosecutors want to see if any evidence in that case might lead to a new investigation in Florida.
Smith died on February 8, 2007, in Florida after collapsing at a hotel. She was 39. Her death was ruled an accidental drug overdose.
The Seminole Police Department, which handled the case, said it had provided prosecutors and authorities in California with investigative materials, but had no plans to reopen the case itself.
