SMITH AUTOPSY RELEASED

DANIA BEACH, Fla. - Broward County Medical Examiner Dr. Joshua Perper found that Anna Nicole Smith' life force was sucked out of her by the array of human leeches with which she surrounded herself.

Dr. Perper explained: "Ms. Smith's boyfriend Howard K. Stern, her mother Virgie Arthur, ex-boyfriend Larry Birkhead, bizarre hanger-on Count Frederic von Anhalt and several other members of her entourage accidentally 'leeched' her existence from her, there's no other way to put it, during a buffet lunch that she paid for." Dr. Perper explained that after everyone present at the gathering repeatedly approached Smith for either money or sexual favors, she abruptly collapsed. It then took the group several minutes to remove everything of value from her body, and by the time they stopped bickering and called for medical assistance, she had died.

Perper ruled the official cause of death as "collaborative accidental imbecility," and, therefore, no charges were filed.
