Chief Medical examiner Joshua Perper declared the autopsy findings inconclusive and said definitive results as to the cause and manner of Anna Nicole Smith's death will take three to five weeks pending further tests. Perper said that small amounts of blood were found in Smith's stomach that he needs to "verify microscopically." He also made "subtle findings" in the heart and gastrointestinal tract that he will further investigate. Mild trauma in the form of bruising was also found on Smith's back, caused by a fall she took earlier in the week. Seminole Police Chief Charlie Tiger said that Smith's death did not appear to be a result of foul play and that the force found nothing on hotel surveillance tapes to indicate a crime had occurred. He did confirm that prescription medications were found in Smith's hotel room. A Los Angeles judge has refused to order an emergency DNA test on the body of Anna Nicole Smith stemming from the paternity suit filed by Larry Birkhead. Smith's body has been ordered to be preserved pending another hearing Feb. 20. Also, Prince Frederick von Anhalt, the 59-year-old ex-husband of Zsa Zsa Gabor, told the Associated Press that he had a decade-long affair with Smith and that it's possible he could be the much-disputed father of her five-month-old daughter, Dannielynn, saying he was with Smith as recently as September. He also claims he will file a lawsuit if custody is handed to Birkhead or Howard K. Stern. Birkhead posted a tribute to Smith on his Website Friday, calling her "my sweet potato," and added that "we loved, we laughed, we shared a connection that couldn't be broken, regardless of the challenges. I loved her in life and I will love her long after." TMZ reported that Stern was questioned by Seminole Police Thursday night about the death of Smith. It's unknown whether Stern was in the hotel room when Smith passed away, though authorities said he was very cooperative. Less than 24 hours after the death of Smith, the late blond bombshell's mother, Vergie Arthur, popped up on "Good Morning America," hypothesizing that her daughter "had too many drugs, just like [her son] Danny.

"We always thought Anna Nicole was a perfect fit for PETA because, just like us, she not only hated cruelty to animals and loved her dog but also couldn't be ignored, and no matter what people thought of her, they always had an opinion, one way or another...It is a tragedy when anyone passes away before their time, but with Anna Nicole, animals have lost a true hero and PETA has lost a good friend. We will miss her."--PETA spokesman Michael McGraw
