FORT LAUDERDALE, USA (UPI):  Police investigating the death of Anna Nicole Smith have met with prosecutors in the Florida state attorney general's office, it was reported Thursday. A Bahamas police representative also met with the Florida investigators .

While officials confirmed the meeting with Seminole tribal police investigators, they would not comment about the nature of the discussions, the Miami Herald said.

Seminole Police Captain Robert McDaniel warned against drawing conclusions about the meetings, since there is no evidence of foul play in the case.

Smith died February 8, when she was found unresponsive in her room at the Seminole Hard Rock Cafe and Casino. The Broward County, Fla., medical examiner is expected to announce a cause of death soon.

"Those (homicide prosecutors) are the people -- that if you were doing a death investigation and needed to speak with someone from the State Attorney's office -- you would go to," said McDaniel. "We have never had any indication of foul play. There is nothing that we have uncovered that would lead us in that direction."

A representative of the Royal Bahamas Police Force also met with the Seminole investigators regarding Smith's death, authorities said. Because Smith was an official resident of the Bahamas when she died, Bahamian authorities said they are interested in the case.
