Pneumonia — not a drug overdose — killed Anna Nicole Smith, the National Enquirer has learned exclusively. In the new issue just hitting newsstands, The ENQUIRER reports that preliminary findings reveal that tests performed during the autopsy show Anna Nicole had a severe case of pneumonia. Prescription drugs that she had taken made the condition worse and did play a role in her death. The full toxicology report has not yet been completed. Sources very close to the death investigation told The ENQUIRER that the prescription drugs masked the seriousness of her pneumonia. Anna Nicole had previously been hospitalized for pneumonia in the Bahamas after her son died. This time, the painkillers Anna Nicole was taking masked her symptoms and quickened the deadly effects of the pneumonia.

Considering that the NE offices are in West Palm Beach, the next county north of Broward, they might have good connections at the ME's Office and this might be true.
Interestingly Entertainment Tonight spoke to Howard K Stern about what the autopsy results might say and he said this, "I think everybody's jumping the gun as to what caused Anna's death, and is assuming the worst, and I'm hopeful that everybody is wrong," says Howard. "I think Anna died because DANIEL was gone. Whatever is in that [toxicology report], she died from him, and she couldn't go on. She was tortured." Sounds like if he took her to the hospital when she had 105 fever and not go shopping for a boat she might still be with us, just asking?
