(Newser) – Anna Nicole Smith’s last days are getting the inevitable rehash thanks to the Howard K Stern hearing, and the details are about as disturbing as you might guess. The Playboy Playmate was so drugged she had to be fed Pedialyte with a baby bottle, and her final hours were spent lying in a bed covered with her own feces, the New York Daily News reports.

Smith was in a coma-like state, “unresponsive, her lips were blue and her skin was beginning to be discolored,” a detective testified, also detailing the drug stash found in her hotel room. Days before her death, a hotel employee arranged for a doctor to visit Smith, but Stern canceled the appointment because he “didn't want any leaks getting out about Anna's physical condition,” the detective said.
