Broward County, Florida, medical examiner Joshua Perper and Charlie Tiger, the Seminole Police Chief in Florida, delivered the verdict of Anna Nicole Smith's death yesterday. They said she died of an accidental drugs overdose.

Joshua Perper added that Anna Nicole died of "combined drug intoxication" after taking a concoction of the sleeping medication chloral hydrate and eight other prescription drugs, including methadone and Valium, used to treat depression, pain and anxiety. Charlie Tiger in his response said: "We are convinced that this case is the result of an accidental overdose, with no other criminal elements present." Perper's in his initial autopsy said, " I saw something that looked a little bit unusual" in Anna Nicole's heart. He also revealed that prescription drugs, but no illegal drugs were found in her hotel room. Last month, he was forced to postpone his verdict after police provided him with additional evidence, which has now been revealed to be two computers belonging to Anna Nicole and her lover and lawyer Howard K. Stern.

Anna Nicole Smith was found unconscious in a Florida hotel room on February 8. Her death came as shocking news to the world. She died just five months after her 20-year-old son Daniel suddenly died under suspicious circumstances in the Bahamas. An inquest into Daniel's death is scheduled to start today in the Bahamas.
