Boyfriend and psychiatrist convicted of conspiring to give model excessive amounts of prescription drugs—After a two month trial, a Los Angeles court convicted Howard K Stern and Khristine Eroshevich for conspiring to give her excessive amounts of painkillers, antidepressants and other prescription drugs.
Anna Nicole Smith’s psychiatrist Khristine Eroshevich prescribed the equivalent of “pharmaceutical suicide” in the days after the death of her son, according to court records. Eroshevich tried to prescribe two sedatives, 300 tablets of methadone, a muscle relaxer, an anti-inflammatory drug and 4 bottles of a painkiller called “hospital heroin.” “They are going to kill her with this,” one of the pharmacists told himself at the time.
