Anna Nicole Smith collapses, dies at 39

HOLLYWOOD, Fla. - Anna Nicole Smith, the pneumatic blonde whose life played out as an extraordinary tabloid tale — jeans model, Playboy centerfold, widow of an octogenarian billionaire, reality-show subject, tragic mother — died Thursday after collapsing at a hotel. She was 39.

She was stricken while staying at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel and Casino and was rushed to a hospital. Edwina Johnson, chief investigator of the Broward County Medical Examiner's Office, said the cause of death was under investigation and an autopsy would be done on Friday.

Just five months ago, Smith's 20-year-old son died suddenly in the Bahamas in what was believed to be a drug-related death.

Seminole Police Chief Charlie Tiger said a private nurse called 911 after finding Smith unresponsive in her sixth-floor room. He said Smith's bodyguard administered cardiopulmonary resuscitation about an hour before she was declared dead.

Through the '90s and into the new century, Smith was famous for being famous, a pop-culture punchline because of her up-and-down weight, her Marilyn Monroe looks, her exaggerated curves, her little-girl voice, her ditzy-blonde persona, and her over-the-top revealing outfits.

Recently, she lost a reported 69 pounds and became a spokeswoman for TrimSpa, a weight-loss supplement. On her reality show and other recent TV appearances, her speech was often slurred and she seemed out of it. Some critics said she seemed drugged-out.

Her former lawyer Lenard Leeds told the celebrity gossip Web site TMZ that Smith "always had problems with her weight going up and down, and there's no question she used alcohol." Leeds said it was no secret that "she had a very troubled life" and had "so many, many problems."

"She wanted to be like Marilyn her whole life and ironically died in a similar manner," Leeds said. Monroe died of a drug overdose at age 36 in 1962.

The Texas-born Smith was a topless dancer at strip club before she entered her photos in a search contest and made the cover of Playboy magazine in 1992. She became Playboy's playmate of the year in 1993.

She was also signed to a contract with Guess jeans, appearing in TV commercials, billboards and magazine ads.

In 1994, she married 89-year-old oil tycoon J. Howard Marshall II of Koch Industries.

In a 2005 interview with ABC Smith recalled meeting Marshall at what she called a "gentleman's club' in Houston. "He had no will to live and I went over to see him," she said. "He got a little twinkle in his eyes, and he asked me to dance for him. And I did."

Marshall died in 1995 at age 90, setting off a feud with Smith's former stepson, E. Pierce Marshall, over whether she had a right to his estate.

A federal court in California awarded Smith $474 million. That was later overturned. But in May, the U.S. Supreme Court revived her case, ruling that she deserved another day in court.

The stepson died June 20 at age 67. But the family said the court fight would continue.

She starred in her own reality TV series, "The Anna Nicole Show," in 2002-04. Cameras followed her around as she sparred with her lawyer, hung out with her personal assistant and interior decorator, and cooed at her poodle, Sugar Pie. She also appeared in movies, performing a bit part in "The Hudsucker Proxy" in 1994.

After news came of Smith's death, G. Eric Brunstad Jr., the lawyer who represented Marshall, said in a statement: "We're very shocked by the news and extend the deepest condolences to her family."

In a statement, Playboy founder Hugh Hefner said: "I am very saddened to learn about Anna Nicole's passing. She was a dear friend who meant a great deal to the Playboy family and to me personally."

Smith's son, Daniel Smith, died Sept. 10 in his mother's hospital room in the Bahamas, just days after she gave birth to a daughter.

An American medical examiner hired by the family, Cyril Wecht, said he had methadone and two antidepressants in his system when he died. Low levels of the three drugs interacted to cause an accidental death, Wecht said. Last month, a Bahamas magistrate scheduled a formal inquiry into the death for March 27.

Meanwhile, the paternity of her now 5-month-old daughter remained a matter of dispute. The birth certificate lists Dannielynn's father as attorney Howard K. Stern, Smith's most recent companion. Smith's ex-boyfriend Larry Birkhead was waging a legal challenge, saying he was the father.

Debra Opri, the attorney who filed his paternity suit, said Birkhead "is devastated. He is inconsolable, and we are taking steps now to protect the DNA testing of the child. The child is our No. 1 priority."

She was born Vickie Lynn Hogan on Nov. 28, 1967, in Houston, one of six children of Donald Eugene and Virgie Hart Hogan. She married Bill Smith in 1985, giving birth to Daniel before divorcing two years later.

"From my professional exposure to Anna Nicole, I can say she was always personable, down to earth and driven. All in all, a joy to have as a client," said Wayne Munroe, her Bahamian lawyer who has overseen the aftermath of her son's mysterious death in Nassau.

Answer 2

I think Anna Nicole had a lot of issues and it can't be blamed on her lawyer/husband/whoever he is. I just saw her on TV last night, giving an interview about Larry Birkhead. Larry seems like a dumbass too, trying to get a little fame from Anna Nicole. But she always looked like she was on drugs. Gotta be a drug overdose.

Answer 3

I agree. Howard Smith is one creepy dude and he was involved in the cover up of Daniel's death....hmmm now Anna Nicole? Really wierd!! Why will he not take the dna test for the baby? Lots of questions that may not be answered!!

Answer 4

Gee, you are quick to enforce justice without any investigation or facts! It takes a certain degree of reason to employ sane justice. I'm glad you are obviously confined to starting witch hunts with reactive thought. I'm sure you won't be any danger.

Answer 5

I heard about it when I was in history class. My teacher was out in the hall with a bunch of other teachers and they were talking about it. Of course, none of us heard who it was that had died, but my teacher said that it was probably suicide.
She came in and read us this article and it turns out it was an over dose... I guess my teacher wasn't too far off.
Then she tried to relate it to history... :P
Anyway, enough of my rant...

Answer 6

anna was a drug addict. i watched entertainment tonite every night at 1 am and they were always interviewing her. her pupils were dilated with a spot light in her face and she slurred all her words and looked like she was going to pass out all the time. she died of a drug overdose.

Answer 7

It's a shame that she won't get to see her baby grow up. She had a hard life there for a while.

Answer 8

I saw this coming. She was a trainwreck, so it came as no surprise that she would drop dead out of the clear blue

Answer 9

Nobody is to blame accept herself. This is a very sad day for me, her friends, and her families.

Answer 10

CNN) -- Anna Nicole Smith died Thursday at a South Florida hospital after being discovered unconscious in her hotel room.

The reality TV star and former model was 39.

"I can confirm that she is deceased. It's as shocking to me as to you guys," Smith's attorney, Ronald Rale, told Reuters. "I don't know anything further. [Her lawyer and husband] Howard [K. Stern], obviously, is speechless and grieving."

Smith's private nurse called Seminole Hard Rock Hotel workers at 1:38 p.m. and security went to the room, Seminole Police Chief Charlie Tiger told reporters.

Before rescue worked arrived, Smith's bodyguard performed CPR on her, he said.

She was taken to Memorial Regional Hospital in Hollywood at 2:10 p.m. where she died, Tiger said. (Watch how Smith's death leaves daughter's fate undecided )

An autopsy is scheduled for Friday, according to the Broward County Medical Examiner's Office.

Smith's legal woes
Smith was involved in a paternity suit regarding the parentage of her daughter, Danielynn, as well as other disputes, including some regarding a house she stayed at in the Bahamas around the time she gave birth.

Earlier this week, Smith was included in a class-action lawsuit against a company, TrimSpa, for which she had worked as a spokesperson. TrimSpa makes a product it claims leads to substantial weight loss. The lawsuit alleges the marketing of the product, TrimSpa X32, was false or misleading. (Full story)

Smith's son, Daniel Wayne Smith, died at age 20 just days after the birth of Smith's daughter.

Pathologist Cyril Wecht said a lethal dose of methadone and antidepressants caused cardiac dysrhythmia, leading to his death.

In June 1994, the then-26-year-old Smith married Texas oil baron J. Howard Marshall II, 89, who had an estate valued at $1.6 billion.

He died the following year, and Smith waged a 12-year feud with Marshall's son, Pierce Marshall, over the inheritance.

She initially won a $474 million judgment, but that was scrapped when a Texas state court ruled that Pierce Marshall was the sole heir.

In May 2006, however, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that Smith could pursue her fight in federal court. Pierce Marshall, 67, died in June.

Anna Nicole Smith's dead son on anti- depressants: report

Deutsche Presse Agentur
Published: Monday September 18, 2006

depressants: report = Los Angeles- A second autopsy on the son of celebrity Anna Nicole Smith did not reveal any conclusive reason for his death, but did note the presence of prescription antidepressants in his body, according to E! News on Monday. Forensic pathologist Cyril Wecht, who was hired by the family, said he did not know whether the medication played any role in the death of Daniel Smith, but stated that there was no evidence that he died from a "suicidal overdose."

Daniel Smith died last week as he visited his mother in her Bahamas hospital room, three days after she gave birth to a baby girl.

Smith married Texas oil tycoon J Howard Marshall II in 1994, when she was 26 and he was 89. She has since been involved in legal disputes over the estate since he died in 1985.

they They suspect that he had a massive heart attack in the hospital while she was still there. They aren't confirming anything right now. It is really a shame because she has this new beautiful baby girl and now has to grieve for her son. I can't even imagine what she must be going through!



The photojournalist claiming to be the father of Anna Nicole Smith’s baby daughter alleges in court documents that Smith was taking methadone and is hiding out in the Bahamas to keep her baby from being tested for drugs.

Larry Birkhead filed court papers in Los Angeles on Monday (02Oct06), attempting to establish paternity and obtain legal custody of the child.

Birkhead began legal proceedings after learning that Smith’s close friend and attorney Howard K Stern, who she wed in a commitment ceremony last Thursday (28Sep06), is also claiming to be the father.

The lawsuit alleges Smith was taking methadone, which is normally used to treat heroin addiction, and that Stern has been facilitating her habit.

Birkhead also claims Smith is hiding out in the Bahamas to keep her baby from being tested for drugs. He says Stern is claiming to be the baby’s father for his own financial gain and that Smith had asked a third unidentified man to say that he was the father of her child - a plan which he says didn’t work out because the man had already had a vasectomy.

Birkhead requested in his petition that Smith and her daughter undergo drug testing
