Anna's Death Fridge -- Methadone and Slim-Fast

TMZ has obtained a photo of the inside of Anna Nicole Smith's refrigerator taken after she died, and the contents are shocking on several levels. TMZ has 100 percent verified the authenticity of this photo.
Contents of fridge
The refrigerator, which was inside Anna Nicole's bedroom in the Bahamas, contained methadone (5 mg per 5 ml). The small refrigerator contained cans of Slim-Fast -- ironic, since Smith was TRIMSPA's spokesperson. Several bottles of TRIMSPA sat right next to the fridge.

The fridge also contained Miracle 2000 (marketed as a nutritional supplement for "today's active lifestyle"), French's Worcestershire Sauce, yogurt and spray butter. It also appears there are vials of injectable medicines.

The methadone is compelling, as Smith's son Daniel died from a combination of drugs that included methadone. Law enforcement sources in the Bahamas tell TMZ that at least one witness has come forward and said Howard K. Stern supplied Daniel with methadone just before he died, and flushed the remaining stash down the toilet. That witness is expected to testify next month at the coroner's inquest into Daniel's death.

Now Stern is placed in the same home with another stash of methadone -- the home he shared with Smith.

TMZ has confirmed that law enforcement in the Bahamas is aware of the contents of the refrigerator.Anna Nicole Smith

61. While this is the size/style of a refrigerator found in the bedrooms and closets of many homes, it's a little fishy. Guess what's true and what's sensationalism will all come out in the wash. This story, of all, certainly doesn't need any extra sensationalism, its chocked full without any help!

62. So sad... I can't believe Howard K. Stern is a free man. It's tragic that he has custody of that innocent baby girl. She should be removed from him immediately and placed into a safe, loving home, away from these freaks and away from the media spotlight. If she doesn't, then someday we will be reading about her tragic death from drugs, and Howard K. Stern will be spending her money as fast as he can.

63. The baby looks exactly like Larry Birkhead.

ANS did not go out and procure Methadone on her own. Someone else was her supplier that is going to be the direction of the investigation. In the end, it will be shown that HKS was the ultimate dealer for the drugs ANS took - and Daniel. - And I am sure she did not mix her own cocktails.

The ET site that tells about the "heart-wrenching reunion" of HKS with the baby is sickening. He must be getting millions $ for that! They say he was going to marry ANS later this month...meaning they were certainly NOT married before. Where is the outrage that he is even allowed near that baby????

Also, WHY can't some of the TV people get the baby's name straight? SO MANY call her Daniel Lynn instead of dannielynn.

A reporter on Fox said last night that the medical examiner said "there were no illegal drugs found in her system..." He said no such thing! He said there were no pills found in the stomach and that toxological screening has to be done to find out what drugs, if any, are present. He said he cannot rule any drugs in or out until the tests are done.

I totally agree with you. I watched True Hollywood Story on E! about Anna Nicole. Howard K Stern started showing up around the time of Anna's trials on her late, old, rich husbands money. She started out coherent during those trials and once things got difficult on those, and HKS coincidentally started showing up standing next to her all the time, she started slurring her words and going downhill.

Obviously, she started taking drugs to get through those trials and fell apart after that. Gained alot of weight, acted crazier than usual, etc. But, it seems as if the state she was in made her easier to control by the people around her. I have a feeling that she would have been better off if she just got some money from the old husbands family and she was satisfied. The vultures around her kept her fighting for the money and they, in turn, would get the biggest payday. HKS should be ashamed of himself for putting her in front of cameras and judges instead of drug counselors in rehab.

He has about as much a chance as being the father of that baby as I do and I am a woman.

I am SO fearful for that baby. Obviously HKS isn't good for anyone in ANS family, especially a baby.

Get that baby away from him and give her a chance of some kind of normal life.

66. Oprahlovesham (nice name.. lmao!) and Poodlebutt:

I know Methadone is legal.. but seeing how it's involved in her sons death, I find it doubtful that she'd keep it in plain view.. because it would (kind of) link her to his death. I just don't see her keeping it out. Also, if she was taking it, why would she have it in the Bahammas, when she was in Fla?

Poodlebutt, I know people who are on drugs don't think clearly, but obviously she has people looking out for her. She's managed to dodge tons of legal issues and she seems to "cross her t's and dot her i's."

All I'm saying, is the picture seems WAY too fishy!

68. I'm going to say that the photo was staged. Whenever it was whomever it was entered the house and other items disappeared, I believe they staged this photo to make some money.
Really, I'm supposed to believe that a house with an infant in it only had drugs and slimfast in the fridge? Not so much. They should have added a few baby related items to the rest of it to make it believable.

70. What did Howard K Stern do before he became involved with Anna Nicole?

Is his background more with family cases, or the petroleum industry in general?

I wonder who recommended to Anna that she employ Stern.

71. First, why would anyone doubt this could be her fridge? Everyone wants to make a buck off her death. Anyone with access to her house (cleaning lady, etc.) could have taken the picture to sell to the highest bidder.

Second, the vials of medication are almost certainly B12 (cyanocobalam). You can almost read the end of the word on the vials. It is prescribed for pernicious anemia but many drug addicts take it to keep functioning. Drug dealers even give B12 shots to their customers when they are near the end of the line to keep them ambulatory and to avoid losing a paying customer (for a little while longer).

It is a sad reality, but it is reality.

72. Howard obviously didn't place pills in their mouth. They did it themselves. The drugs wouldn't have been there if Anna had not allowed them. She had dependency problems on drugs and alcohol long before she met Stern. Both were accidental deaths, due to a mistake many make...mixing drugs that should not be mixed, and/or adding alcohol. Stop blaming Howard, for their mistakes. Just because drugs were there, does not make him guilty of anything.

73. Wow, what's for dinner Anna? If she was worried about her weight, why didn't she just smoke crack? I have yet to see a fat fat crackhead, they usually weigh under a 100 lbs. I think she will probably still get buried before James Brown though, he's still on ice. Can TMZ get the autopsy photos? I want to see her inners.

74. And I suppose you can't see the TrimSpa box next to the fridge while you broke into her home to take the picture?

75. the doctor that was writing these scripts reminds me of Elvis's, a real quack that should lose his license. Methadone is to get off of Heroin, nothing else, it's not for cancer patients as someone here said. I cant even believe anyone is standing up for HS, he just stood by, then started getting hi too so Anna would stay in his company, ick. She had to be very hi to kiss that icky thing, before Daniel dies she didnt then she just wanted to keep Dani to herself, as she did with Daniel. She was a very sick girl and he played into that to be with her.
