Anna Nicole Smith: The medical blogosphere speculates

February 11, 2007

With her autopsy inconclusive, several medical bloggers are wondering what led to her death.

Chris Rangel suggests serotonin syndrome or neuroleptic malignant syndrome.

Dr. RW
suggests an arrhythmia triggered by methadone use.

Dr. Wes looks at a variety of cardiac possibilities.

Update:
Maybe myocarditis?

I know that I am not a doctor or any sort of health professional. I am a person that watches the news and the myocardial may sound true but I am going with the product, Trim Spa. She used to be a large woman and she took that and got super skinny, it may of sped up her metabolism and left results that no one could of forseen. I am not sure what happened to her but my thoughts are Trim Spa is what killed her, well maybe one of the bigger factors that killed her.

As a psychologist, I am interested in the Anna Nicole as a person who mirrored society’s fascination with all that glitters, and society’s penchant for self-destruction. That is what compelled me to write and record this song about Anna Nicole Smith:
