Anna Nicole Smith’s psychiatrist gave her a number of prescriptions that allegedly lead to death.

According to the Los Angeles Times, Anna Nicole Smith’s psychiatrist, whom she saw after the death of her son, prescribed her a variation of “pharmaceutical suicide.”

Khristine Eroshevich, Smith’s psychiatrist, prescribed her various prescription drugs that ultimately produced a deadly consequence. Smith’s internist Sandeep Kapoor also participated in writing Smith orders. Pharmacists’ refused several times to refill the drugs, in the best interest of Smith. “They are going to kill her with this,” one of the pharmacists told the Times.
Five days after Smith had lost her son, Daniel, and only a little over a week after giving birth to daughter, Dannielynn, Eroshevich put in orders for 300 methadone tablets, a muscle relaxer, an anti-inflammatory, and four bottles of a painkiller referred to as “hospital heroine.”

One pharmacist attempted to call Kapoor and explain that the drugs would kill Smith. Those messages allegedly went ignored. Five months later, Smith died from a drug overdose.

Kapoor and Eroshevich are both facing charges of illegally prescribing controlled substances and retaining opiate prescriptions by fraud.
