I mean I know she was kinda living fast and all, but only 39?
I still think she was the Guess girl… The best one.
HOLLYWOOD, Florida (CNN)—An autopsy will be conducted on Friday to help determine the cause of Anna Nicole Smith’s death, according to the Broward County Medical Examiner’s Office.
Smith died Thursday at a South Florida hospital after being discovered unconscious in her hotel room. The reality TV star, Playboy Playmate and former Guess model was 39.
Her death came less than five months after the birth of her daughter and the death of her 20-year-old son.
One of two men involved in a paternity dispute over Smith’s daughter is seeking a DNA sample, and a hearing is set for Friday morning.
Smith checked into the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Hollywood, Florida, on Monday with her lawyer and boyfriend, Howard K. Stern.
Smith’s private nurse called hotel workers at 1:38 p.m. and security officials went to the room, Seminole Police Chief Charlie Tiger said.
Before rescue workers arrived, Smith’s bodyguard performed CPR on her, Tiger said. She was taken to Memorial Regional Hospital in Hollywood, where she was pronounced dead at 2:49 p.m.
