How Guilty is Howard K. Stern???

As we watch the news unfold concerning Anna Nicole's death, this is the question that keeps burning through my mind. Did Howard K. Stern mastermind and manipulate this entire scenario for his own benefit? Too many things seem to support this tragic idea, the most obvious being his presence at the scene of both Daniel's death last September and Anna Nicole's death yesterday in Hollywood, Florida. However, there are many other factors that seem to cast a shadow of doubt on Mr. Stern.

Of course, there is always the possibility that Anna Nicole's passing will be found to be of natural causes, with no foul play involved. The poor lady had been under a seemingly overwhelming amount of stress, coupled with natural post-partum issues, compounded by the loss of her beloved son. We have heard about people dying of a broken heart. Could this be what re-united Anna Nicole with Daniel in heaven?

But what about the prescription medications reportedly seen in Anna Nicole's hotel room at the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino? According to "insiders" for Star Magazine, there were at least four bottles of meds prescribed not to Anna Nicole Smith, but to Howard K. Stern. These drugs include Xanax (an anti-anxiety medication), Vicodin (for pain), Methadone (sometimes given for chronic pain in lieu of Oxycontin, MS-Contin, Kadian or Fentanyl, though it's not known if that applies here), and Provigil, a medication most commonly associated with narcolepsy, though doctors have found a variety of off-label uses for it (according to the manufacturer's website, Modafinil (Provigil) is a mood-brightening and memory-enhancing psychostimulant which enhances wakefulness and vigilance). In other words, Provigil is like an upper, frequently prescribed to offset the loopiness caused by other medications.

What kind of condition does Howard K. Stern have that requires him to take these drugs? Or did he obtain these meds on behalf of Anna Nicole because he just couldn't tell her no? Did he not take into consideration the pathology findings following Daniel Smith's death which stated that Anna Nicole's son died from a lethal combination which included Methadone along with Zoloft and Lexapro?
