US:The former topless model and potential heiress Anna Nicole Smith died of an accidental overdose of prescription drugs, according to the results of an autopsy released yesterday.
The findings put an end to at least one area of speculation over the life and death of Smith (39), who was found in a Florida hotel on February 8th. The release of the findings had been delayed after investigators found methadone and other drugs in the fridge of her hotel room.
Seminole police chief Charlie Tiger said: "This case is an accidental overdose with no other criminal elements present. There was no evidence of illegal drugs. We found nothing to indicate any foul play."
Whether the findings will do anything to diminish the legal wrangling over Smith's potential estate and the plight of her baby daughter remains to be seen. - ( Guardian service )
