Charges have been made against three people as being allegedly responsible for Anna Nicole Smith's death: her boyfriend, Howard K. Stern, and two doctors.

Playboy playmate and TrimSpa spokesperson Anna Nicole Smith passed away in 2007 due to a prescription drug overdose. Until recently, no one knew who gave Smith the drugs; however, today that changed. Howard Stern and two psychiatrists, Drs. Sandeep Kapoor and Khristine Eroshevich have been charged with conspiring to give drugs to Smith, according to MSNBC.

A long list of charges were made against the doctors and Stern, including prescribing, administering or dispensing a controlled substance to an addict, unlawfully prescribing a controlled substance and obtaining a prescription for opiates by fraud, deceit or misrepresentation and by giving a false name or address, MSNBC reports.

Had the doctors followed the correct regulations, Smith's excessive prescription drug use would have been evident to the media. People Magazine reports that Eroshevich, who was Smith's personal psychiatrist, used fake names on Smith's prescriptions to keep the media away.

The three alleged conspirators are due in court on May 13.
