Anna Nicole Smith Is Dead, Her Lawyer Says

Thursday, February 08, 2007

Anna Nicole Smith

Reality star Anna Nicole Smith is dead, her lawyer told FOX News Thursday.

Smith, 39, did not respond to CPR, and her boyfriend, Howard K. Stern, was with her when she passed, her attorney, Ron Rale, told FOX News.

Smith was found unresponsive Thursday in her Hard Rock Hotel room in Hollywood, Fla.

Emergency responders performed CPR at the scene and a breathing apparatus was inserted in her throat, hotel officials told TMZ.com. Smith was immediately transported to Memorial Regional Hospital in Hollywood just after 2 p.m. EST.

Local streets were closed off to rush Smith to the hospital, three miles away. Paramedics were seen pumping her chest as she was taken from the hotel.

Smith was hospitalized for a week last November with pneumonia. She was photographed at a boxing match at the Hard Rock Hotel last month.

In a lawsuit filed last Thursday in Los Angeles Superior Court, Smith and TrimSpa Inc. were sued in a class-action lawsuit alleging their marketing of a weight-loss pill is false or misleading.

Anna Nicole Smith Biography Smith, a former Playboy Playmate, endorsed TrimSpa and was a spokeswoman.

Smith's 20-year-old son Daniel Smith died in his mother's hospital room in the Bahamas in September, three days after she gave birth to a baby girl, later named Dannielynn Hope Marshall Stern.

Smith's current boyfriend and longtime lawyer Howard K. Stern, 38, says he is the father of Dannielynn. But Smith's ex-boyfriend Larry Birkhead, 32, claims he's the father, and has sued to demand a paternity test.

Last month, a judge in the baby dispute temporarily blocked an order forcing her daughter to undergo paternity testing.

Rale questioned the legality of the test, saying Bahamian authorities needed to grant work permits before an American doctor could conduct the test.

The judge granted a stay pending a hearing which was supposed to take place this week.

Birkhead's attorney, Debra Opri, called Rale's request "a delay tactic." Birkhead sued in October to get a paternity test.

Anna Nicole Smith was born Vickie Lynn Hogan in Houston, Texas, on Nov. 27, 1968.

As a teenager, she worked at a fried chicken restaurant, and married Billy Smith at age 17 in 1985. The same year she had son Daniel Smith, but then divorced Billy and became a single mother in 1987.

Smith worked a string of minimum wage jobs before turning to stripping. She met oil mogul J. Howard Marshall II in 1991 in Houston at a nightclub, where he was a frequent patron and she worked as an exotic dancer.

Smith married Marshall, 63 years older than she, on June 27, 1994. She was 26, he was 89.

I guess the saddest part is that her baby girl won't have a mother.

Then again, looking at the choices Anna Nicole made, that might be for the better.

Be interesting to find out the cause - was there still pending litigation on her inheritance from her second husband? I always felt she got a raw deal there, but it hardly matters now.

I bet that will get tied up in further litigation, as the child's "inheritance". This story probably will go on for another 20 yrs.

RIP Anna, either way.

The fact that her son died at the age of 20, and now her, makes me wonder if someone has hasn't had a hand in their deaths. Normally, people can do a lot of drugs(prescription or otherwise) without dying. Very sad.

It does seem suspicious.

This Stern guy has been the last person to see both her and her son alive, and he stands to inherit whatever she has. Depending on litigation that could be a big bundle.

Howard K. Stern has been accused of allegedly giving Anna Nicole's son the methadone that he ingested and then trying to cover it up by disposing of the remainder. All parties involved seem shady -- even the 'witness' to the pill flushing is kind of creepy. So who knows....

My initial gut reaction was that it was a suicide based on depression following her son's death. But if this scenario proves true, that's even more sad.

My guess is that the cause of death is going to be some kind of lethal combination of chemicals. I know she has been on sedatives and antidepressants in the past and who knows what else plus she's probably still taking that Trimspa stuff which has who knows what kind of effects when taken with other drugs.

It seems pretty odd. Maybe there's nothing sinister at all about it but what a story it would be if Stern was behind it some how.

A quick glance at eBay reveals that 30 of 32 pages of 'Anna-Nicole Smith' items have been newly listed.

Watch for hundreds and hundreds more to be added for sale.

:D
