Stern Says Many Outlets Implicated Him In DeathsIt appears as though Anna Nicole Smith's former partner is poised to return to court --- but this time, he's going to take on the media.
A lawyer for Howard K. Stern said that Stern may sue media organizations that he believes have implicated him in the deaths of Smith and her son Daniel.
"The nightly television, tabloid and Internet trial of Mr. Stern in the court of public opinion based on sensational lies, speculation, rumor and gossip is over," Stern's attorney Lin Wood said in a news release.
An Atlanta-based attorney, Wood said that there's no evidence to question a medical examiner's ruling.
"The medical examiner concluded that the death of Anna Nicole Smith was accidental," Wood said. "No one has produced any evidence to rebut this conclusion because no such evidence exists."
A medical examiner has ruled Smith died of an accidental overdose of sleeping medication and at least eight other prescription drugs. Most of the drugs were prescribed in Stern's name.
The examiner's office also said Smith had the flu and a bacterial infection.
An inquest into Daniel Smith's death has been put on hold.
