The murky circumstances surrounding Anna Nicole Smith’s death could become clearer today, when authorities are expected to release the results of the former pinup’s autopsy.

The anticipated disclosure of what killed Smith comes more than six weeks after she was found unresponsive at her hotel suite in Hollywood, Fla.
The autopsy results had been expected weeks ago but have been repeatedly delayed, in part because the Broward County medical examiner, Dr. Joshua Perper, said he received additional evidence from the Seminole Police Department. The department is investigating the starlet’s death because the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel and Casino where she was staying is on tribal land.
Authorities would not disclose what the additional evidence was.
Perper’s initial tests found no evidence, either in Smith’s stomach or her bloodstream, that she had taken large amounts of prescription medication. The medical examiner said prescription drugs, but no illegal drugs, were found in Smith’s hotel room. He would not identify the drugs.
