Tenacious_Peaches Posted February 8, 2007 Report Share Posted February 8, 2007 Anna Nicole Smith dies in Florida hospital Former model found unresponsive in Florida hotel room BREAKING NEWS MSNBC staff and news service reports Updated: 4:02 p.m. ET Feb 8, 2007 Anna Nicole Smith died Thursday after collapsing at a hotel and being being rushed to the hospital, one of her lawyers said. Smith collapsed in her room at the Hard Rock Cafe and Casino in Hollywood, Fla., and was rushed to a hospital on Thursday. A Hollywood, Fla., fire department spokesman told MSNBC TV that the actress was unresponsive when the rescue unit arrived on the scene and had been intubated. Smith was transported to Memorial Regional Hospital shortly after 2 p.m. EST and attorney Ron Rail confirmed that she had died nearly an hour later. On Tuesday, Smith and the diet products company TrimSpa Inc., for which she is a spokeswoman, were sued in a class-action lawsuit alleging their marketing of a weight loss pill is false or misleading. Smith also was order by a judge to have baby daughter undergo paternity testing. The test is being sought by Smith's former boyfriend Larry Birkhead, who claims he is the father of Dannielynn Hope Marshall Stern. She was born Sept. 7 in the Bahamas. Less than a week after the birth of her daughter, Smith's 20-year-old son Daniel died in her hospital room while visiting Smith after the birth. An coroner's report ruled the death was caused by an overdose of anti-depressants and methadone. Smith married Texas oil tycoon J. Howard Marshall II in 1994, when she was 26 and he was 89. He died the following year. She then feuded with Marshall’s son, Pierce Marshall, over her entitlement to the tycoon’s estate before he died in June at the age of 67. In the long-running dispute, Smith had won a $474 million judgment, which was later cut to about $89 million and eventually reduced to zero. In May, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that Smith could continue to pursue the fortune in federal courts in California despite a Texas state court ruling that Marshall’s youngest son was the sole heir.

MarcM Posted February 8, 2007 Report Share Posted February 8, 2007 I too feel sorry for her baby. I do not wish to sound cold, but maybe her baby may now have a somewhat normal life. I have the feeling that she did herself in after finding out she was to be sued. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
katie_sane Posted February 9, 2007 Report Share Posted February 9, 2007 I think you are right Marc. I read on another news site that it was a suspected overdose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elvish Posted February 9, 2007 Report Share Posted February 9, 2007 If it was suicide, I'll bet she had a really bad case of postpartum depression...PPD would understandable under normal circumstances after giving birth, but especially after what happened to her son and all the legal problems she's having... Very sad, regardless Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shawna Posted February 9, 2007 Report Share Posted February 9, 2007 my co-worker pointed out that it may be complications from Trim-Spa. Evidently that stuff isn't real safe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Posted February 9, 2007 Report Share Posted February 9, 2007 (edited) ... also in the news today ( 3 minute blurb ) , Hamas and Fatah factions stopped their feuding and reached an agreement to share power in the government of Palestine . They can now begin talks in a united front with Isreal about a peace settlement ( a pre-condition of Isreal's ) , yadda-yadda-yadda - but no , the last 8 hours of CNN coverage are on this hugely important story ! A 'Celebrity obsessed culture' the media likes to call us - perhaps , but look who's feeding us ! } Edited February 9, 2007 by Guest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PSYCHOcatholic Posted February 9, 2007 Report Share Posted February 9, 2007 I think she had a hand in her son dying, shes gonna get sued, and its a whole conspiracy theory. Maybe one too many martinis and xanax, with a side of lortab. I feel bad for her baby, i really do. I know shes a celebrity and all that, but im sorry, i know a guy that just passed away and had a much better life minus the money, he was one of the best people i knew. Yet...he didnt get all this news coverage. But, im not gonna get into that. I hope Anna Nicole Smith, Elvis, Tupac and Andy Kaufman have fun hanging out. Do you really think she is dead?

Uncle Joe Posted February 9, 2007 Report Share Posted February 9, 2007 Do you really think she is dead? No. I think she's on that island where all the celebreties go to hide after faking their own deaths. I bet she's pushing JFK around in his wheel chair and chatting with Jim Morrison while having a good laugh at how fat Elvis has gotten. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
