LOS ANGELES , California ( CNN ) -- A pharmacist testified that he warned Anna Nicole Smith 's doctors and boyfriend that a list of medications intended for Smith a week after her son 's death could be `` pharmaceutical suicide . '' Anna Nicole Smith , with Howard K. Stern , was found dead in her hotel room in February 2007 . The former Playboy model and reality TV star died five months later of what a Florida medical examiner ruled was from `` acute combined drug intoxication . '' Ira Freeman , the chief pharmacist at Key Pharmacy in Los Angeles , testified on the seventh day of a preliminary hearing for Howard K. Stern -- Smith 's lawyer and companion -- and co-defendants Dr. Khristine Eroshevich and Dr. Sandeep Kapoor . The three are charged with an illegal conspiracy to prescribe , administer and dispense controlled substances to an addict . Stern faces 11 felony counts , and the doctors were charged with six each . They are not charged in her death . Smith 's death in a Hollywood , Florida , hotel on February 8 , 2007 , came just five months after the birth of her daughter , Dannielynn , and the sudden death of her 20-year-old son , Daniel , on September 10 , 2006 . Freeman testified that Kapoor faxed to him a list of six drugs that Eroshevich wanted to be sent to the Bahamas , where Eroshevich was treating Smith for anxiety and depression in the days after her son 's death . `` The more I thought about it , the more concern I had that if she got hold of those medications , it could have fatal consequences '' Freeman said . The pharmacist said the dosages of the drugs were `` not appropriate . '' Freeman said he consulted Dr. Greg Thompson , a pharmaceutical expert , who agreed with him and who offered to talk with Eroshevich about the dangers . Freeman said Thompson later told him that he found Eroshevich , a psychiatrist , to be `` way out of her league '' in her requests for strong drugs for Smith . At the time , Smith was holed up in her home in the Bahamas mourning her son 's death . Her bodyguard said in earlier testimony that the home was under siege by photographers , keeping Smith inside with her windows covered . Thompson recommended to Eroshevich that she `` forget the paparazzi and get her to a hospital '' if she needed all of those drugs , Freeman said . Freeman said the stress of the publicity after Smith 's death affected his own health , especially after the celebrity Web site TMZ.com published a copy of the faxed list of medications in question . Under questioning by the defense , Freeman said that over the previous five years he had filled prescriptions for Smith , he never saw any `` red flags '' that she was getting dangerous amounts of drugs . Charges against the three defendants also include the use of false names on prescriptions . Freeman said he always understood that prescriptions written under the pseudonym `` Michelle Chase '' were intended for Smith . It was a practice begun in 2001 , three years before Kapoor or Eroshevich began treating her , to prevent `` trouble for her in terms of her celebrity status , '' Freeman said . After the preliminary hearing , which could last about three weeks , Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Robert Perry will decide whether a trial will be held . In earlier testimony , Smith 's part-time bodyguard Maurice Brighthaupt said `` she just did n't want to deal with life after the death of her son . '' Brighthaupt described Smith as `` manipulative '' when she wanted something . `` She manipulated Dr. Eroshevich , '' he said . Eroshevich , a Los Angeles psychiatrist , traveled to the Bahamas five or six times in 2006 to attend to Smith , he said . They had a mother-daughter friendship , not a doctor-patient relationship , Brighthaupt said . The doctor sometimes substituted placebos for the tray full of pills Smith regularly took for her complaints of pain and depression , he said . `` She was very concerned that we needed to wean her off the medications , '' Brighthaupt said . California Bureau of Narcotics Enforcement Special Agent Danny Santiago testified that investigators found 12 prescription drugs , including dangerous opiates , in Smith 's hotel room after her death . Seven of them were prescribed using Stern 's name , although spelled `` Stearn , '' he said . A series of affidavits used by state investigators to obtain search warrants in their 2½-year inquiry was unsealed last month , revealing many details of the prosecution 's case .
