Anna Nicole: Stolen Document Sheds Light on Her Death

Reports are being made that a document has been found that lists a number of drugs that were prescribed to Anna Nicole Smith five days before (September 15, 2006) her 20 year old son, Daniel, passed away.

Anna's friend Dr. Khris Erosheviche was asked about the document but she claimed she could not speak about the reported document.  

"This is a confidential document; it's a stolen document," she says. "So it's illegally out there in the media. I can't discuss it because it has patient-doctor confidentiality. This document holds privilege even after the patient has deceased."

The secret memo was written for Anna Nicole under one of the fake names she used, "M Chase." The drugs listed in the memo include, Dilaudid, Lorazepam, Soma, Dalmane, Prexige and methadone. Anna Nicole Smith commonly used such pseudonyms when obtaining such drugs, to avoid attention from the media.

The cause of death for Anna Nicole's son Daniel happened to be a lethal mixture of methadone with Zoloft and Lexapro, Dr. Cyril Wecht determined. It's such a tragedy that a man of such a young age could die from something like this. One wouldn't have to think too hard to figure out how he got into drugs with the lifestyle he was living. Sadly enough his mother followed his foot steps.

Dr. Eroshevich would not comment on the details of the document, but she did explain what some of the drugs on the list are used for.

"These are an assortment of pain medicines," she explains. "Most well-known is morphine sulfate. The second well-known is Dilaudid. And perhaps the less well known for usage, either in pregnancy or addiction or for chronic pain, is methadone.

"Dilaudid is very similar to morphine," she continues. "It's given in tablet form, or it's given as an injection. It's not as strong as morphine. It helps some people sometimes. Some people don't respond to it at all."

Morphine, she says, is "what you get when you're in the hospital when you've had surgery. It's a clean drug. Used properly, it gives you the most efficient pain relief. It's been around forever, so it's safe in the right hands."
