The chemical geniuses over at the Star and the National Enquirer have uncovered some new evidence in the Anna Nicole Smith death investigation. They report that the cause of death was: Choral Hydrate.

Anna Nicole Smith died with a toxic level of the sleeping medication chloral hydrate in her system.

In a joint newsgathering operation, the National ENQUIRER and Star magazine have solved the mystery of the former Playboy model’s death and provide a detailed portrait of her final days.

The world exclusive details come days before Broward County, Fla., Chief Medical Examiner Joshua Perper will hold a press conference to announce the former Playboy Playmate’s cause of death.

The ENQUIRER and Star have also learned that Anna Nicole had a raging blood infection. The infection was caused by an unsterilized needle and contributed to her death.

The infection was so serious, it would have killed her if she had not overdosed. (source)

I’m no chemist…wait. Yes, yes I am. So I know that chloral hydrate, or 1,1,1-trichloro-2,2-ethanediol for you LeChatlier fans out there, is a powerful water soluble sedative that is rarely prescribed anymore unless your name is Snidely and you want to slip some gabby dame a Mickey Finn. That said, I’m sure that it was total accident when Howard Stern murdered her. Just like John Wilkes Booth! Vote democrat.
