Anna Nicole Smith dies after collapsing in hotel

(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.

[StrayBullet42]

LMAO

[Fierce Critter]

I don't find this news funny.

But I can't help but think the world is much better off without her breathing air.

[Wounds Within]

TRIM SPA BABY !!!

no joke, that stuff will kill you.

[ManicQueen]

I don't find this news funny.

But I can't help but think the world is much better off without her breathing air.

In all reality, I don't either. I think it's sad that a coke head like her leaves behind a newborn without a mother.

Exactly B ... that poor little baby

[ManicQueen]

At least she doesn't have to grow up beside a whore of a mother.. kids can do without such trash.

Sorry I'm being such a bitch, it just comes natural and I have personal issues. Thank you.

[BrassFusion]

You guys are horrible!!

Although I gotta say... she deserved it way more than Steve Irwin. Hers probably falls less into the "tragic accident" category than the "that's what happens when you abuse your body like that for 25 years or so" category.

And it's just poetic justice that she didn't come near the lifespan of that old guy she was golddigging.

[StrayBullet42]

I diden't know all that, in all truth I was refering to the coment made by phee.

"when they bury her, all of those silcones and chemicals will slowly soak into the earth and pollute the environment.... poor squirrels and turtles n'stuff"

[Homicidalheathen]

My hair stylist has a 'theory' that the Lawyer new husband and father did it somehow, either providing the drugs or something to both Nichole and her son....

And that he stands to inherit anything left if there is anything....

I think its a bit far fetched.

Then this other lady I know texted me that her 'favoret hero' had just died, I didn't get it.

[Steven]

that chick was a mess in every way.

but I cant help but wonder what was behind all of that......what kind of legacy was handed to her fromher parents, and what has she left behind for her now one remaining child?

her life is a modern day expose on our current trend filled society.

[kellygrrrrrl]

hmmmm.....Modern day Marilyn?

Yeah...poor turtles n' stuff.......

[Guest Megalicious]

No shit Kelly....

That woman was an ugly skank.

MM was a beautiful.

[kellygrrrrrl]

Its all I keep hearing.....

That she wanted to be like Marilyn, and to some folks, she WAS the modern day Marilyn.....

etc.....

PAH LEEEZE!!!!!!

I mean Marlyn led on a Similar life style...but she did it with so much more class

And looked way better doing it.

Plus the media wasn't up in her cookies the way they were with Ana. ....

Marilyn wasn't as openly exploited as Ana. rather.

Here's what bothers me about all this.

Whenever something happens like this, these average to below average people suddenly have no flaws and were the greatest ever!

"Wow she had her own show and she came from nothing, and she took off her clothes and made lots of 13 yr old boys jack off to her. She's an American institution"

Give me a break!

These are the same people who would refer to some late night talk show host joke about her and give everyone their daily ha-ha.

Look, we've got a horrible economy,

tax hikes on the horizon,

Bush just submitted a budget that doesn't even highlight his own pet projects because he was too obsessed submitting something that would be an enormous middle finger to all the Dems that got elected,

a filibuster on even the thought

of discussion

of a resolution

which if passed

would still mean nothing anyway!,

We have black hawks being shot down in Iraq by Sunni militants

and the only thing we can talk about is some goldigger that od'd and a crazy woman in a diaper?

FUCK the TV news! They all must think we didnt make it thru kindergarten.

[Vampyro]

You know.. I personally hate it when celebraties die... especially the annoying ones....

Because god, you'd always get annoyed with their shit on tv when they die... but there was always channels that didn't talk about them...

Once they die, that's all you'll ever talk about from then on... moreso than 9/11 being a conspiracy by our gov't...

Steve Erwin, and Anna Nicole, both made me sick, and each time I heard about their death, i would take a sigh of relief that that'll be the last I ever hear of them...

..but NOOOOOOOO!!!! The media has to turn these pathetic fucks into gods or something...

fuck em both, I know for a fact that Steve was a stuck up fucking prick who would hit his wife.

Anna Nicole... god what a pathetic excuse... I'm going to laugh when that baby dies too.

[Steven]

Anna Nicole... god what a pathetic excuse... I'm going to laugh when that baby dies too.

tell us about how your so deeply in the know. tell us the "facts".

and although I suppose I can understand what your saying about Anna Nicole, the dead baby comment made you look like a schmuck.

[Wounds Within]

indeed

[Vampyro]

the fruit don't fall far from the tree, and didn't her son die the same way she did? And honestly, about steve.. I'm looking through the arcives of where I saw that info in some news sites i think i remember seeing it in... i'll keep you posted.

[Der Nister]

I'm surprised it didn't happen sooner after seeing her on that reality show. She looked worse than Courtney Love on a smack binge.

[pomba gira]

Well... I can't see where she really contributed anything to making this a better world... but then again she certainly did a lot less harm than a whole shitload of other people I could think of. And I'm certainly not in any position to judge her for not being a nice suburban soccer mom... so I won't.

I think it's kind'a nice that she made an old man happy in his final years. Hell, she was prolly nicer to him than his own kids.

[the eternal]

Yeah, I agree with everyone since Vampyro.

I'm not one to dance on another's grave.

Just don't deify a Playboy model like she's Mother Theresa.

TV news/entertainment channels make me sick.

I suppose I have to make time for reading the NY Times again.

<sigh>
