The Seminole County police chief said that Anna Nicole Smith died of an accidental drug overdose.
The weeks after Anna Nicole Smith's death were filled with public courtroom drama and private whispers about what might have killed the former Playboy Playmate.
Smith's autopsy results had been delayed to give officials time to review additional evidence, still not publicly released, about what had left the model unresponsive Feb. 8 at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in Hollywood.
Broward County Medical Examiner Joshua Perper's initial examination revealed no serious injuries. There also was no evidence, either in Smith's stomach or her bloodstream, that she had taken large amounts of prescription medication.
Perper said prescription drugs, but no illegal drugs, were found in Smith's hotel room. He wouldn't identify them.
The initial examination also found signs of inflammation in Smith's heart. Perper said it was "something which looks a little bit unusual" but "may be nothing."
