Anna Nicole Smith Dead in Florida at 39

Former Playboy model Anna Nicole Smith, 39, was found dead this morning in her Florida hotel room, according to CNN News News. Could it be that Anna Nicole died of drug related complications?

And by drugs, I don't mean the kind your doctor prescribes legally. 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 most 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.
