Officials search home of Anna Nicole’s psychiatrist

Another member of Anna Nicole Smith’s crazy brigade of unchecked quasi-professionals is under investigation. This time it’s Smith’s psychiatrist, Dr. Khristine Eroshevich. This was the woman who managed to make herself so indispensable to Smith that she traveled around the world with her, never leaving her side. If this only started after Smith’s son’s death, I would think that this was possibly just the most committed psychiatrist ever. But Eroshevich has been doing this for years, leaching on to Anna and her money and keeping her doped up to her liking. After Smith’s death, 11 prescriptions were found in her room that were prescribed by Eroshevich. She can be seen in a lot of videos and photos of Anna from the last few years of her life, and you can tell she’s just another one of the users.

“California Department of Justice investigators began serving search warrants Friday in connection with the death of Anna Nicole Smith, a person close to the investigation told The Associated Press. The person, who spoke on condition of anonymity because the investigation was ongoing, declined to elaborate. California Attorney General Jerry Brown was expected to make an announcement later Friday.

“The former Playboy Playmate died of an accidental drug overdose in February at a Florida hotel. She was 39. Several people close to the model have fallen under suspicion since her death, including her psychiatrist Dr. Khristine Eroshevich. The Medical Board of California said in April it was investigating Eroshevich, who, according to documents, authorized all 11 prescription medications found in Smith’s hotel room the day she died. Eroshevich had traveled with Smith to Florida.

“More than 600 pills, including 450 muscle relaxants, were missing from prescriptions that were no more than five weeks old, according to the documents, which were obtained by The Associated Press through a public records request.”

“People” has a quote from one of Eroshevich’s neighbors who noted, “There were about six cars and some men walking around with … guns.” I really like the ellipses there. Adds to the drama and uncertainty, and isn’t that important when talking about guns? A rep for the DEA said that they did participate in the raid and served Eroshevich with a search warrant, but she hasn’t been arrested (yet). Anna’s other doctor, Sandeep Kapoor, is also investigation for writing a prescription for her for methadone 13 days before she gave birth. He was extra-shady, appearing in some images with Anna at a float for a gay pride event. Talk about blurring the line between doctor and patient. On the internet, he described one of his practice’s specialties as “Entertainment Medicine.” I can only assume that somehow involves celebrities, assorted drugs, balloon animals, and funny accents.
