Anna Nicole Smith dies after collapsing in hotel
POSTED: 4:20 p.m. EST, February 8, 2007

(CNN) -- Reality TV star and former model Anna Nicole Smith was pronounced dead Thursday after being taken to a Florida hospital, a law enforcement source told CNN.

Smith, 39, collapsed at a south Florida hotel, according to news reports.

"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 nurse called Seminole Hard Rock Hotel workers at 1:38 p.m. and security went to the room, hotel officials said. Fire rescue workers from both the Seminole Indian tribe and from Hollywood Fire-Rescue arrived minutes later and Smith was taken to Memorial Regional Hospital in Hollywood at 2:10 p.m.

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.

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.

Reuters contributed to this report.

It's probably fine if you don't mix it with crack and horse tranquilizers...

Nicole had alot of problems. It seemed that no matter what she was having troubles. We should all just pray for her daughter and not speak ill of the dead.

Well, I don't know what to say about her that is not going to be construed as "ill." She started out as a topless dancer. The fact that she married a nonagenarian for his money pretty much makes her a hooker or at least a gold-digger. Then she appears to have killed her kid, given that toxicology reports found methadone and other narcotics in his blood. Her life may have been a train wreck, but she was certainly the conductor.

Crocket you do have a way with words
