California Department of Justice investigators began serving search warrants on Friday in connection to the death of Anna Nicole Smith, the Associated Press reports.

California Attorney General Jerry Brown confirmed the raids in a Friday press conference, and a government spokesperson said authorities raided six locations, including the offices and residences of two doctors.

The A.P. reports that Ellyn Garafalo, a lawyer for Dr. Sandeep Kapoor, who prescribed methadone to Smith shortly before she died, has confirmed that the doctor's home and offices were among those raided but declined to comment further.

Smith died of an accidental drug overdose in a Florida hotel room in February at the age of 39.

Several people close to the former Playboy Playmate have been questioned since Smith's death, including her psychiatrist Dr. Khristine Eroshevich, who traveled with Smith to Florida.

In April, the Medical Board of California announced that it was investigating Eroshevich, who, according to documents, authorized all 11 prescription medications found in Smith's hotel room the day she died.

According to the documents, obtained by the Associated Press through a public records request, more than 600 pills, including 450 muscle relaxants, were missing from prescriptions that were no more than five weeks old.
