Anna Nicole Smith Passes Away
Published February 09, 2007
Former Guess model, Playboy Playmate, and TrimSpa spokesperson Anna Nicole Smith died today after collapsing in a hotel room in Florida, reports the Associated Press. She was 39 years old.
Smith was at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel and Casino when she fell unconscious. According to the Associated Press, Seminole Police Chief Charlie Tiger said a private nurse called 911 after finding Smith unresponsive in her sixth-floor room at the hotel. He said Smith's bodyguard administered CPR, but she was declared dead at a hospital. The cause of death is still undetermined, and an autopsy will be conducted tomorrow.
However, online gossip site I Don't Like You in That Way cites sources saying that Smith was rumored to have been in detox at the time and possibly taking methadone, and this might be why she had a private nurse. According to IDLYITW, various medical experts are speculating the methadone may have aggravated an undiagnosed heart problem - the same heart defect which led to her son Daniel's death five months ago at the age of 20.
Smith's sudden death is the final chapter in the reality TV star's tabloid fodder of a life. Smith was known for her Marilyn Monroe-like appearance, ditzy blonde personality, and see-sawing weight. And who can forget her questionable marriage to 89-year-old oil billionaire J. Howard Marshall II in 1994, not to mention the ensuing legal battle for his estate with Marshall's son after his father's death?
Smith's life continued to fuel gossip columns into the 21st century. In 2002 Smith starred in her own reality show named after herself on the E! Entertainment network. In 2003 she became a spokesperson for TrimSpa, which reportedly helped her lose a total of 80 pounds. In 2004, she appeared on the American Music Awards slurring her words and acting erratically, causing the tabloids to speculate on possible drug use.
On September 7, 2006, Smith gave birth to her daughter, Dannielynn Hope Marshall Stern. Tragically, just three days later her son Daniel died while visiting his mother and newborn sister in the hospital. Smith was then criticized in the media by capitalizing on her son's death by selling the last photos taken of him to various gossip magazines and TV shows.
Up until her death, Smith was embroiled in a number of legal issues. One involved the paternity of her daughter Dannielynn, which was challenged by entertainment photographer Larry Birkhead, who insisted that he was the father. Smith's attorney Howard K. Stern refuted Birkhead's claims and announced that he was the true father of Dannielyn. Just this week Smith was involved in a class-action lawsuit against TrimSpa, which accuses the company of false and misleading marketing.

Je- I don't know where you heard such a wild speculation about her lawyer/husband, especially since an autopsy has yet to be done on Anna Nicole's body. Don't believe everything you read in the tabloids.
But I have to say that I don't care for your racist remarks about Jewish people. My long-time boyfriend is Jewish, and even if he wasn't, your comments were unnecessary. I'm sorry to hear that a Jewish friend had betrayed you and your family, but don't condemn an entire people based on one person.
hhhmmm...very sad. It is the corporate version of what creates a 'crack whore'.
A damaged but driven woman. She just didn't really have an idea of where she was driving to.
The reality was overlooked (as usual in this selfish society) and she was used continuously.
She needed an escape to find peace from the demands of everyone around her.
She found it. This reality cannot be overlooked. Ms. Victoria Lynn Hogan's story speaks for many women out there. Lawyers, media, self-appointed guardians have a bigger story to uncover below this surface of tragedy.
best,

Was your friend that got ripped off by the Jews, Mel Gibson??
Now begins the feeding frenzy. Human Piranhas, Jackals, and vultures. Here they come to pick over the body. Anna was not ignorant but a very intelligent Young Lady. She learned how to manipulate men to buy her homes, furs, jewels and cars.
Blonde Bombshells Jayne Mansfield and Marilyn Monroe learned to Market themselves as sex pots. Unlike these stars, Anna could not sing, dance, or do anything useful except bring attention to her body and kittenish acting which was a pale copy of Marilyn Monroe. An American Idol reject, but hey, she gave out. Her drug addiction is what made her dependent on Howard K. Stern.
He arranged and fed her drugs until she died.
Her son dies of Methadone and Bottles of it are found in refrigerator after she died. Connection?
The girl who fought so hard for her dead husbands fortune and was labeled a gold digger.
Now Howark K. Stern has assumed the role of gold digger. We should watch him as it is very suspicious of how both Anna and her Son died.
I fear for this baby. This is just my opinion and I may be wrong. Maybe Howard loved her and is the father. I doubt it. We should not be surprised if the Baby is from another man.
Her envious sister plans to release a book where she attacks her sisters body, personal life, children. What has she accomplished in her life?
Another pig wallowing in the mud.
I am just hoping there is now real justice here forward. That baby deserves to know who her real dad is. It almost seems as if that Howard K. Stern person is keeping her captive like he kept Anna Nicole Smith away from everyone else who tried to get near her. I do believe Larry Birkhead is the real father and my heart goes out to him. I also hope that Anna Nicole Smith's mom gets the chance to decide how and where to bury her daughter. I am equally digusted with Howard K. Stern's behavior to all of this, especially causing so much trouble in this DNA situation.

I guess if Stern wasn't Jewish, you would just consider him misunderstood. You're a fricken anti-semite. Go to Hell!
According to the State Laws of Texas, Anna's mother should at the very least be under investigation by CPS and Law Enforcement for her claimed criminal acts against Anna as a child. See definitions listed below for Child Abuse. Because her mother was a police officer, her awareness of the law makes this even worse, in my opinion. Further, those around Anna had to know something was going on, they to can be prosecuted for the failure to protect Anna from her mother.
We are all talking about HKS. Let's talk about the criminal acts of her mother. These acts caused great emotional harm that had a deadly cause and effect to Anna. In a sense, her mother killed her, it just took 39 years to accomplish her goal.
FAMILY CODE SUBTITLE E. PROTECTION OF THE CHILD
CHAPTER 261. INVESTIGATION OF REPORT OF CHILD ABUSE OR NEGLECT SUBCHAPTER A. GENERAL PROVISIONS § 261.001. DEFINITIONS.
In this chapter: (1) "Abuse" includes the following acts or omissions by a person: (A) mental or emotional injury to a child that results in an observable and material impairment in the child's growth, development, or psychological functioning; (B) causing or permitting the child to be in a
situation in which the child sustains a mental or emotional injury
that results in an observable and material impairment in the
child's growth, development, or psychological functioning; (C) physical injury that results in substantial harm to the child, or the genuine threat of substantial harm from physical injury to the child, including an injury that is at variance with the history or explanation given and excluding an accident or reasonable discipline by a parent, guardian, or managing or possessory conservator that does not expose the child to a substantial risk of harm; (D) failure to make a reasonable effort to prevent an action by another person that results in physical injury that results in substantial harm to the child;
It is a very tragic story,and the sad thing is that a drug dealing attorney who had no real law firm, and was even found guilty of stealing law papers off of a judges desk, has once again been able to hide behind the Law to get away with what anyone with half a brain would call kidnapping. HE's clearly not the father. He clearly drugged a mentally ill person, and possibly murdered her for his own gain, and took her to the Bahamas to have a child there that was not his, only to have his name typed in on the birth certificate. They fled there to get away from U S laws, and unless something is done soon, He will get away with kidnapping another mans child. I have no doubt that Anna Nicole, and her son, would be alive today if Stern had not gotten them hooked on meds, and manipualted their lives. He should be in prison for what he has done, and with a little help, he will be. He bought her drugs without taking her to see drs. He picked up meds that were not his and gave them to her. He admisnistered meds to her when she was in the hospital and circumvented written drs orders. If a nurse were to have done what he did, she would be fired, and in jail right now. He sponged off of her for many years, and is deserving of nothing more than a one way bus ride off of a cliff. He will probably get by with all of this stuff. And I doubt it if the Bahamian courts will do anything to help determine Danielynn's fathers true identity. This case has clearly shown to the public just how incompetent some dr's, judges, and lawyers are. What a shame. It also shows us how lawyers, whether comptent, or not, can manipulate just about any situation to shaft someone. I know that in the lowest level of hell, one level above where Satan resides, is a place for all attorneys, politicians, and liars. I guess Hillary and Bill, and Stern will be neighbors.
Kind off odd but howard stern is jewish and so is the lawyer that ruled in favor of anna nicole smith being buried in the bahamas ... but the truly sick thing is that by law Anna nicole smith's body should have been in the care of her mother and she would have buried her in the states.. THIS IS A FACT BUT DO'NT TAKE MY WORD FOR IT RESEARCH IT FOR YOURSELF.
Wow, I never realized there are still so many anti-semites in the US. Hey, you know, I bet some of the cops are jewish too. Maybe THEY'RE in on it as well! This is just sickening.
So you would have preferred for her mother to take her body, a woman who Anna Nicole absolutely DETESTED? A woman who Anna said in interviews did nothing while Anna was abused and raped as a child?





I am sickened and enraged how her son and then she can be killed for her money. Her beloved son, and heir to her millions, died in very suspicious circumstances in September. Howard K. Stern, her creepy jewish lawyer boyfriend, arranged his own marriage to Nicole two weeks later. In the middle of October Nicole's mother went on CNN to say she blamed Stern for her grandson's death and warned her daughter she might be next.
Anna reacted angrily: I know how she is thinking there completely. I had a jewish friend who turned against my family, the people who actually cared for me.
I saw this on the news. Poor white girl was surrounded by jews - lawyers, make up artists, porn barons, all the people she trusted. Hustled away and killed for her money. It was no more a sophisticated crime as that - killed for her money like a cheap street robbery. You can take the jew out of the ghetto but you can't take the ghetto out of the jew. Stay away from the ghetto.
