London: The coroner investigating model Anna Nicole Smith’s tragic death has found some new evidence indicating the possibility that she might have been murdered.
The police called the new evidence significant, but put off announcing the results until the probe was complete.
Anna Nicole’s bodyguard, Maurice Brighthaupt, who was with her on the fateful day, claimed that her boyfriend Howard K. Stern had been acting "highly strange" hours before she collapsed in a Florida hotel room last month.
"This was unexpected. But this case has more turns than anything I could have imagined," the Mirror quoted medical examiner Dr. Joshua Perper as saying.
Dr Perper said he met with police chief Charlie Tiger after being intimated about the new evidence.
"We exchanged information. They informed us about additional pieces of evidence that they have obtained," he said.
"This is not delayed evidence, this is additional evidence that has come to light during the course of the investigation," a police spokesman added.
Anna Nicole bodyguard Brighthaupt also told the police that she was on "heavy doses" of prescription drugs when she died, including antibiotics. He is also believed to have said that Stern administered her "some types of drugs" in the months leading to her collapse.
The former ‘Playboy’ playmate’s mother, Virgie Arthur, had also accused Stern as being the one who fed her daughter a cocktail of prescription drugs. But during the court hearing, he strenuously denied the allegation.
