Anna Nicole Updates

Anna Nicole's body was finally embalmed yesterday in Florida. The embalming was ordered on Friday, by Judge Larry Seidlin, but was delayed until Saturday as the mortuary workers refused to sign confidentiality agreements. Morticians from the Aycock Funeral Home in Jupiter, Fl performed the embalming yesterday.

The process finally began yesterday at 9:15 a.m. and took two hours and 45 minutes under the watchful eyes of chief medical examiner Dr. Joshua Perper and his chief investigator, Edwina Johnson.

"Two embalmers did the work," Perper told the Daily News. "The body was put in a black plastic bag and sealed with evidence tape. It's in a refrigerator under lock and key."

The pathologist said there were "some minor deterioration changes" but insisted they won't affect her viewing appearance. "She was a beautiful person," Perper said. "She's going to look like she looked in life."
