Anna Nicole Smith's breast operations may have led to her death, it has been claimed.

The former Playmate Playboy, who was said to be "very weak and tired" following breast enhancement and repair procedures, was reportedly taking at least ten different kinds of pills to ease the post-surgery pain.

It has been suggested the 39-year-old died last week after taking a cocktail of anti-depressants, Valium, painkillers and antibiotics.

Some medical experts claim she had the operations too soon after giving birth to her five-month-old daughter Dannielynn.

Women's health specialist Dr Sarah Jarvis told Britain's Daily Mirror newspaper: "To take so many different drugs is unhealthy. Some anti-depressants can cause heart problems after surgery. Valium can cause respiratory problems.

"If an unfit person has surgery and takes drugs, it's possible they would have complications."

Anna Nicole was found dying in her room at Hollywood's Seminole Hard Rock and Casino Hotel on Thursday.

No large amounts of medication were found in her stomach, but it could take up to five weeks to determine if drugs aided her death.

America's Star magazine has reported prescription medication found in Anna Nicole's hotel room included antidepressant Xanax, pain relievers Vicodin and Methadone and the stimulant Provigil.

Shortly before her death, she reportedly complained of nausea, headaches and flu-like symptoms.
