Anna Nicole Smith Seen Popping Booze-Room Full of Pills, Witnesses Say

Broward County Medical Examiner Joshua Perper, who performed a six-hour autopsy on Anna Nicole Smith on Friday, maintains that no pills were found in her stomach, but the hotel and on-site eyewitnesses describe a “trashed” Anna Nicole in the days leading up to her death.
A bouncer at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel and Casino, where Anna Nicole and her fiance Howard K. Stern were staying while boat shopping in the Everglades, says Anna Nicole was so drunk that needed male escorts to make it back to her room:
“I saw two guys walking her out. She was pretty much all trashed. She was messed up. She couldn’t walk on her own. … Her bouncer was on one side and her lawyer friend on the other,” the bouncer says.
A Hard Rock bartender named Mike reports that Smith was tossing back double shots.
“Her eyes were droopy. It looked like she was really, really drunk. She was slurring her speech. She looked plastered,” he dishes. The bartender also goes on that Anna Nicole spent Tuesday not drinking with adoring fans cheered her on.
Mike continues, “She talked to a few people but she was mostly concentrating on the drinking. She was wasted out of her mind, but that’s the Anna Nicole me and my friends have grown to know.”
A Star Magazine snitch says that entering Anna’s sixth floor hotel room was like “walking into a pharmacist’s shop. Outfitted with a canopy bed, tall plants and leopard-print hangers, the room was filled with prescription medication including Xanax, Provigil, Vicodin and “a … lot of methadone.”
Check out some of the meds found in Anna’s room, according to the New York Daily News:
Methadone: A powerful opiate painkiller, it is in the same drug category as morphine and codeine — often used to help heroin addicts beat their habit. Causes severe drowsiness and can potentially interact with hundreds of other drugs.
Provigil: A secret favorite of pilots and hospital doctors working graveyard shifts, this central nervous system stimulant keeps users alert and awake. Side effects include anxiety, nervousness, depression, irregular heartbeat and dozens more.
Xanax: Prescribed for depression, anxiety disorders and panic attacks — and, occasionally, fear of open spaces — this brain-bending benzodiazepine drug is notoriously habit-forming.
Fentanyl lollipop: A powerful narcotic painkiller often given to cancer patients, especially children. A berry-flavored one sold under the name Actiq sells for about $25 a “pop” on the street.
“There are three major possibilities,” Dr. Perper said. “One is that the death is due solely to naturally causes. The other possibility is that the death might be due to some medication or chemicals. And the third possibility is that there is a combination of natural causes and medication.”
