Anna Nicole Smith Dead in Florida at 39

Thursday February 8, 2007
Former Playboy model Anna Nicole Smith, 39, was found dead Thursday morning in her Florida hotel room, according to CNN News. Could it be that Anna Nicole died of drug related complications? And by drugs, I don't mean TrimSpa.

She apparently collapsed at the Hard Rock Hotel Casino in Hollywood, Florida and was rushed to the hospital where she was pronounced dead. Anna was recently stuck in the middle of a very ugly paternity battle between her ex, celebrity photographer Larry Birkhead, and her lawyer/boyfriend Howard K. Stern over baby Danielynn.

As soon as I heard the shocking and sad news, I was immediately taken back to her son's sudden death last year at her bedside in the Bahamas. Perhaps they both dabbled in the same dangerous stuff? I guess we'll just have to wait and see when the autopsy report comes out.

I don’t know…but something is not right…First, the stepson of the billionaire died last June 20, at 67…Then last September her son died…And now this…I am no detective but…It just smells bad, very bad…

Actually, it was a mix of methadone and anti-depressants that killed her son…and those are prescribed legally by doctors.

I think the real sadness comes for poor Dannielynn. Now she’s stuck with two babydaddies, and doesn’t know which it really is.
I hope its Stern, because Birkhead seems REALLY mentally unstable and thats the last thing this kid needs from now on.

My concern is….was Anna still “using” while she was pregnant? Dannelyn is bound to suffer mentally and physically during her life if this was the case. I can’t possibly see how the child could not have any issues due to her mother’s habits.

After the loss of a child like she went through last year her world must have been so bleak. It doesn’t matter what she died from- she already suffered the worst loss and probably couldn’t take it anymore.

I am shocked at how bothered I am by her death. But I am a conspiracy theroy type of person. Too many coincidental deaths here. Somebody got some splaining to do

Whoa! Talk about bad/ weird Karma!! I never quite understood the whole Anna-Nicole Smith character, she was a bit too much for my likes…But still, so many sad/ questionable events in her life and now her own death!! This is what you call a (short lived) shooting star, And yes it’s seems all a bit fishy.

(11) Lauria says:

As if her sudden death at 39 isn’t strange enough, now, Zsa Zsa Gabor’s husband is claiming to be the father of Anna Nicole’s baby girl. The paternity issue has dominated entertainment gossip for months, yet this guy never made a peep until Anna Nicole isn’t around to dispute his allegations of an affair.

With Anna Nicole and her son Daniel gone, little Danielynn inherits everything, including the inheritance from her late husband that I think will eventually be awarded by the courts. I feel sorry for her motherless baby and, I feel sorry for Anna Nicole. Yes, she led a strange life but, the hateful comments by her mother and sister may be clues as to why she craved attention and love. I don’t think she got much of either when she was a child.

(12) Celi says:

I think Lisa-Marie is right about the tragedy of losing a child but Anna had 2 children; not just 1. People have the ability to overcome anything and I am no advocate of substance as a way out. Amber said it right that Danielynn is the one who is going to pay for poor living.

Someone get the kid a set of fake titties and get her out in the tabloids ASAP. America needs a new slut!

I could have been that kid’s dad but the dog beat me over the fence.

A truly sad commentary all the way around here. What’s the saying “be careful what you wish for, as you just might get it”? I still don’t understand why she didn’t want to communicate with any other family members? Being angry at her mom was one thing (Although her ‘words’ did come to pass. Hate her if you will, she was right on the money though, about the people Anna was hanging out with.), but not having communication with “anyone” else in your whole family? Was there not even ‘one’ person who she could have relied on? If those people who were ‘constantly’ by her side really cared about her why in the name of God couldn’t they have tried a little bit harder to get her help sooner? First her son, now her, too much of a ‘coincidence’ for me. God help her daughter. I’ll keep her in my prayers because something tells me she’s really going to need it.
