Anna Nicole Smith: Who was murdered

The late Anna Nicole Smith's boyfriend and two doctors have been charged with illegally providing the ex-Playboy model with addictive prescription drugs, two years after she died of an overdose.

California's attorney general on Thursday said that Smith's boyfriend and attorney Howard K. Stern and the two doctors -- Khristine Eroshevich, and Sandeep Kapoor -- conspired to "repeatedly and excessively" provide Smith with drugs.

Smith, 39, was found dead in February 2007 in a Florida hotel room. Her death was ruled an accidental drug overdose.

"These individuals repeatedly and excessively furnished thousands of prescription pills to Anna Nicole Smith, often for no legitimate medical purpose," Brown said in a statement.

"There is ample evidence that ... Eroshevich and Doctor Kapoor violated their ethical obligations as physicians, while Mr. Stern funneled highly addictive drugs to Ms. Smith," Brown said.

Over a period of three years, the three suspects "furnished thousands of prescription pills to Ms. Smith, including opiates, benzodiazapines, and other controlled and non-controlled substances," read Brown's statement.
