FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. - Prosecutors in South Florida are taking a fresh look at evidence in the 2007 death of actress-model Anna Nicole Smith.
Broward County prosecutors met recently with authorities in Los Angeles and the California Department of Justice, said a spokesman for State Attorney Michael Satz.
That follows the indictment March 13 in California of Smith's former boyfriend Howard K. Stern and two doctors on charges of conspiring to illegally prescribe drugs for Smith.
Broward County prosecutors want to see if any evidence in that case might lead to a new investigation in Florida.
Smith died Feb. 8, 2007, in Florida after collapsing at a hotel. She was 39. Her death was ruled an accidental drug overdose.
The Seminole Police Department, which handled Smith's case because it transpired on tribal land, said it had provided prosecutors and authorities in California with investigative materials, but had no plans to reopen the case itself.
"The tribe has completed its case and it's closed," said spokesman Gary Bitner.
