A doctor who allegedly supplied Anna Nicole Smith with methadone is under investigation by the California medical board. Dr. Sandeep Kapoor prescribed methadone to Anna Nicole in August of last year just before she gave birth.

From femalefirst.co.uk: Candis Cohen, a spokesperson for the Medical Board of California confirmed Kapoor was under scrutiny after information regarding possible misconduct came to the attention of the board. Cohen confirmed the investigation was connected to Smith, but refused to elaborate on the allegations. The prescription in question was reportedly written to Smith under an alleged alias, Michelle Smith, and was sent by a San Fernando, California, pharmacy to the home of Vicky Marshall in the Bahamas - Smith’s real name is Vickie Marshall.

Anna Nicole’s son Daniel had methadone in his system at the time of his death. The drug can be used to treat heroin addiction, and it is rumored more physicians are prescribing it as a painkiller due to crackdowns on OxyContin abuse.

For the curious, Dr. Kapoor’s office can be found here.
