Drugs and Smith...

So, even in death it seems Anna Nicole Smith must maintain her status as a tabloid princess. Today, they ruled, after weeks of ridiculous legal hearings and speculation, that, yes, contrary to popular belief, she died of a drug overdose. I must say, upon finding that she was on nine—yes, nine—drugs, I was surprised not that she overdosed, but that she survived as long as she did. But, how can a drug overdose be accidental when someone is taking high doses of painkillers and sleeping pills? How can it be accidental when the world has witnessed her downward spiral for years, and did nothing but take pictures as she drowned in the depths of her own depression.
