Dr. Cyril Wecht, the forensic toxicologist who performed the autopsy on Anna Nicole’s son Daniel, who died last September, has suggested viral pneumonia, drug-related causes or a genetic heart defect as possible causes for the death of Anna Nicole Smith to MSNBC TV.
“When you have sudden, unexpected death, there aren’t too many things that can do that,” said C.W. “You look to the heart and see what produces the cardiac arrhythmia.”
“Drugs could be involved here,” Wecht told MSNBC. “They may not be the total answer, but coupled with a genetic predisposition, methadone is a drug that is known to produce that kind of a problem in which the heart begins to beat irregularly.”
Anna Nicole was accused of using methadone, a powerful opiate-based treatment, while she was pregnant with her five month old daughter Dannielynn.
This news surfaces just moments after CNN witness reports that Anna Nicole Smith was already dead upon arrival at the hospital. The witness claims the body of the 1993 Playboy Playmate of the Year was already covered upon arrival at the hosptial.
