Anna Nicole Smith collapsed in her hotel room at the Hard Rock Cafe and Casino in Hollywood, Fla., and was rushed to a hospital on Thursday. A Hollywood, Fla., fire department spokesman told MSNBC TV that the actress was unresponsive when the rescue unit arrived on the scene.
Sources confirmed to Access Hollywood that Smith was transported to Memorial Regional Hospital shortly after 2 p.m. EST on Thursday. Access Hollywood also is reporting that Smith was intubated at the scene.
Officials told the Miami Herald, "it does not look good."
lol! I loved the whole "red light" story. If he WAS speeding through town it was because he needed to get there before HKS and pretend like he was lookin' busy.
ANS dropped out after finishing the 11th grade. That would be her Junior year in high school. I've seen one of her high school year book pictures if that helps.
'Good night, my sweet Anna baby'
Larry Birkhead talks about visiting former girlfriend in Florida morgue
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/17360280/
Ford Shelley is married to Gina, Ben's daughter. Maybe Ford slept with ANS, too. Why not? Seems everyone else did. Maybe he didn't want his wife to find out. Just a guess.
Court of Appeals in Florida is asking for Oral Arguements tomorrow at 9:30am Eastern - Decision may come after that. - Per CTV
Oral arguements tomorrow in appeals court. 20 minutes each....9:30 tomorrow morning
23k votes on "who's the daddy?"
68% birkhead
6.5% stern
22% don't care
3.5% other
So, it is 93.5% NOT STERN!
ugh....one of the judges was responsible for the Cohen vs Cohen case that Goat and his minions are relying on. Darn it!
Wouldn't this be considered "off shore investing"?
There will probably be 20 minutes of "objection" alone.
Yeah. She had a near death drowning in the pool months ago. She had a near death drowning perhaps in the bathtub the day before she died (unless you believe the story that the bruises were from Mo forcing her to take an ice bath). And then an actual death the next day.
Stern is really going to look bad if he gives up the baby for a boat and a house..
Stern/Milstein's side
Obviously the fix is in. So when Stern and Milstein get the body. Who will be paying for all the funeral expenses?
Flight to the Bahamas and service?
Will it be a Baptist service?
Will Virgie, Larry and Dannielyn get to attend?
Will Trimspa provide the catering and movie set?
WE DO NOT HAVE A JUSTICE SYSTEM - WE HAVE A KANGAROO COURT JUDGE SYSTEM.
I stand corrected. I'd heard 6th grade and then 8th grade. But now i see there's proof it was 11th grade. Thank you.
This is good news! I hope...
Even when DNA proves Larry to be the baby daddy, how difficult will it be to get Sterns cloven hooves off her? It seems like he's winning all the battles, so far.
Exactly when this interview was done is not known, but I first saw clips of it on Saturday, February 24.
Following this post, I will post a transcript of the Rita Cosby interview with Brigitte Neven, who also gave an account of that day, (although she was never mentioned by Moe.) And I will post a link to a transcription of a Hollywood Fire and Rescue interview.
Part 1
Greta: What happened to Anna Nicole? What went on in that room at the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino? Big Moe was there when she was dying and when she died. He was Anna Nicole’s friend and also her bodyguard. Big Moe talked to us.
Greta: When did you first meet up, was it on the Monday?
Moe: Monday, on the Monday, Monday evening I think it was, late afternoon.
Greta: What was her condition when you saw her that late afternoon?
Moe: Well, when she came in she was shivering. She had every sign of a flu that I know. She was a little sick, she was shivering, she, she was h……, couldn’t eat. And when we put her to bed, I checked her temperature and her temperature was up to 105. And I told her, I said …”Baby girl, I’m about to call, you know, I’m about to call 911….you need to go to the hospital.” And she begged me not to, and I said, “well this is just not acceptable to me, I mean we have to do something”. So, so we picked her up and put her in, like, some water, with some ice in the water and broke her temperature. And her temperature went back to 98 and then she took some flu medicine which was prescribed by a…a… doctor, a local doctor. Don’t know who the doctor was but it was provided by Hard Rock.
Greta: Now, you put her in cold water. Is that in part because, you spend….your living is saving lives, is that part of your training a little bit?
Moe: Well, that’s a part, that’s something that I knew in knowledge from what my grandmother told me, you know. Just some common knowledge. First of all, if your fever is too high, you can, you know, spasm out, catch…get a stroke, or you know, or have a seizure. So we knew we had to bring her temperature down. And then she, after we brought it down, Anna being who Anna is…and, you know, she begged not to go to the hospital so we monitored her all night and the next day and her fever never really broke, I mean went up anymore so…..
Greta: When you say ‘we’…who’s ‘we’?
Moe: Well uh, her friends that was in the room. It was, it was me, Howard and uh, uh, her, her, her fr…..her long-time friend, Kris Erosovich.
Greta: Is that the psychiatrist from Los Angeles?
Moe: Yes
Greta: She was in the room, too?
Moe: Yes
Greta: Um, do you know why she was there?
Moe: Friends
Greta: Not in a professional…..
Moe: No, no. Anyone who was there was strictly there as friends. I was there as a strict friend.
Greta: You weren’t working as a bodyguard? Total friend
Moe: Total friend, I told you from this point now to when Daniel died. I got there the day after Daniel died, September 11, of course I remember that because of the tragic, the tragedy that my my fellow men went through…
Greta: your fellow firefighters….
Moe: Fellow firefighters went through…and up to the day she died, I didn’t get paid one cent to work with her. Even when we was at the Hard Rock, and she went to that boxing match, I was there strictly as a friend. She was going through a lot of legal problems so I didn’t want to bug her with that.
Greta: On that Monday night, Feb 5, when the temperature is 105, Kris, her friend, is also an MD. Did she say anything like…..’this temperature is really high’
Moe: Oh, of course.
Greta: And what was the interaction between Anna and Kris, who is an MD?
Moe: She had the same reactio…..interaction like she had with me. She just did not want to go to the doctor. She didn’t want to go to the hospital. She said she’d be all right. But by the time we…..we was going to take her……matter of fact I had to force her to get into the tub. Because I told her if she didn’t get in the tub, I’m gonna call the ambulance, you can get upset with me and we don’t talk for a week if you want that’s fine. But my main goal was to make sure you’re healthy. And she agreed to let me pick her up and put her in the tub.
Greta: Tuesday, Feb 6…..any better?
Moe: She was a lot better. I mean, you know she was a lot better…..still sick though. Fever was maybe, maybe 100, but controllable. You know, and she would wake up, eat, walk around the room, and you know, go back to sleep….. watch TV…
Greta: Leave the room at all?
Moe: No, we was in a suite so she had a bedroom and then she had the living room area, so she would walk out and would watch movies, eat her favorite meal…..she loved chocolate strawberries, so we would get chocolate strawberries for her and we would all eat it together.
Greta: But would leave the suite area…..I mean she wouldn’t go down and gamble in the casino….
Moe: No, I heard the stories that she had been drinking before…..none of that was..
Greta: Actually I hadn’t heard those……..
Moe: Well I heard the story. I watched a lot of the news before ….I remember a couple days ago, before I went and interviewed with someone else, I stayed up until about 3:00 in the morning and I had to wake up at 6:00 in the morning…..trying to see if anyone would say anything positive about this situation. And that’s why I’m out here now, because I feel that I have to be an advocate for her. Cause she cannot speak for herself now.
Greta: What did Big Moe do when Anna Nicole stopped breathing? Much more of his account is up next.
End part 1 Greta: What happened to Anna Nicole inside that Hard Rock hotel room, her bodyguard and friend Moe was there for her last moments alive. Big Moe shared his account with us.
Greta: On Feb 8, that’s the day she died, do you remember what time you woke up?
Moe: Yeah, um, I decided to sleep in the room, there was an open room there and I knew she wasn’t feeling well. And Howard and her asked me, “hey, can you just stay over?” and I said “No problem”. So I stayed that night prior on the 7th, and woke up the next morning, around, I don’t know….9:30-10:00 and I went in the room to check on them.
Greta: All right. Stop right there. Who’s sleeping in the suite at this point, it’s Anna and Howard?
Moe: Anna and Howard.
Greta: They’re in one room in the suite?
Moe: They’re in the one room in the suite.
Greta: They’re sharing a room?
Moe: Yes
Greta: All right, now where’s Kris at this point?
Moe: Kris had went back to L.A. the day before on the 7th. That’s why the room was open. She was there on the 5th and 6th and then she left to go back to her own practice on the 7th.
Greta: All right, so you were there, and who else was there?
Moe: On the 7th. Just me
Greta: Just you. All right sometime late morning, early afternoon, somebody noticed that she was in terrible distress.
Moe: Uh, we was …uh you talking about…
Greta: Thursday….the day she died
Moe: OK, when I woke up, I went in a checked with her.
Greta: She seemed……how?
Moe: She was…..I saw her moving around a little bit. She seemed tired, she was sleeping. I mean, she don’t wake up….she, she…her, her routine was…..especially since her son died, is sleep for a couple of hours, wake up for a couple hours, and move around, eat, watch TV or whatever and then go back to sleep. So I figured that she was just tired. I said “Look”…….I stuck my head in and said, “Look I’m going downstairs to eat…..” well eat breakfast with my wife. “I’ll be back up”. Because I knew Howard had to go get the boat, because the day prior Anna was like….”Can you go get our boat so we can ride back?” Cause we all was gonna…… I was gonna ride back with them.
Greta: They were taking delivery of their boat?
Moe: Yes. We was gonna, we was gonna get the boat and then go back to the Bahamas, to her new house that’s being built, to dock it in her dock. She had her own dock back there. So Howard went, after I ate my breakfast, I came back upstairs and Howard along with the captain, King Eric, who is Shane Gibson’s dad, came over to captain the boat, to help go back. And uh, I had to leave, you know, I had to leave to do an errand for about 20 mins so I asked my wife to just sit there, cause I knew she wasn’t feeling well. I asked her, if she needed something to drink or she needed help going to the bathroom, “can you help her?”. She was like “No problem”, cause Anna knew my whole family like that. And about 5 minutes into it, well not 5 minutes but about 15 minutes after……uh…. I think it was 15 minutes, yeah it was about 15 minutes, 10 or 15 minutes I called my wife to check about her.
Greta: What time was this about?
Moe: I can’t tell you the time. I can’t remember exactly the time…….I’m just saying 15 minutes after I left …..I called and checked on her, and said “How’s she doing?” and she said, “Oh she’s still sleeping.” And I said, “Oh, Ok.” And then I went on doing what I was doing and about 5 minutes after that I got a frantic call from my wife, saying “hurry up, get back, something’s wrong with Anna. I don’t think she’s breathing. I’m over here trying to breath for her. I’m over here doing CPR…
Greta: She knew how to do CPR?
Moe: Yes. She’s a nurse.
Greta: Just coincidentally
Moe: Just coincidentally….she’s..
Greta: She’s not there to be a nurse,
Moe: She’s not her private nurse. Just coincidentally she’s a nurse, and she was there. And she started administering CPR and giving rescue breaths. And, of course, when you hear something like that, the first thing is disbelief. “What, what do you say?” She said, “Just get back here and call 911 on your way”. I say “OK’ and I hung up. When we hung up, the first thing I did was call Howard. But that took about 30 seconds to a minute. “Howard, you gotta get back. Something’s wrong with Anna.” And then he was in disbelie….and I said “Just get back.” And then the next thing I did was call the liason. Because my phone is registered in Dade, my cell phone is registered in Dade, and I knew if I dialed 911 then possibly Dade rescue would pick up, so you know, and I didn’t know the address to, to the Hard Rock. So I had our liason that helped us out at the Hard Rock, to call 911.
Greta: Now, let’s just explain. Dade is another county away from where you were?
Moe: Yes.
Greta: All right.
Moe: Where we were it was Broward county. What my phone was registered it was Dade county.
Greta: So you wanted a 911 in Broward county where the hotel was.
Moe: Plus the hotel liason knows the hotel address. So that happened. So I rushed back. I was maybe 15 minutes away. And I ran every light, frantically got in there. Made it upstairs, opened up the door and I saw my wife on top of her. And I gently moved her out the way, pulled the cover back and looked at Anna’s face. Now Anna has the most beautiful lips that you see. Very pink and beautiful. And when I saw them, they were like, palish and blue and I knew something was wrong. And, I ,,,,,,I felt for a pulse I don’t know if it was my hoping and wanting, I thought I felt a faint pulse. So the first thing I did, thought about, was picking her up and putting her on the floor so I could properly do this CPR, if I had to. So then I gave her a couple breaths, they went in but they blew back out….in a way that, like a spring. You know, when you hit a spring and it bounce back out, so I knew something was wrong then. And then I felt for a pulse again. And then I thought I felt one, but I wasn’t sure. So I started administering CPR, and at the time I was waiting on rescue to get there. And when the first units came, they didn’t have a monitor at the time. So I still was administering CPR and then everyone else came. And we started working her, and then I stepped off and let the professionals do their job. And that’s when Howard came in the room, very hectic and screaming. And they was calming him down, they wouldn’t let him in. And he was screaming, “Moe, is Anna alright?” and I was like, “She’s in good hands”….and we was uh we took. her ……and I rode with Anna to the hospital.
Greta: What happened after Anna Nicole was taken to the hospital? We have much more with Big Moe, just ahead.
End Part 2 --------------------------------- Greta: So what really happened the day Anna Nicole died? Here’s more of our talk with Big Moe.
Greta: She died in the hospital….I mean she died in the hotel? I mean, you’re a professional. This is your business, unfortunately...
Moe: Yeah, I thought maybe she was gone, but, you, know through my arrogance… and I did it before, I just thought I could bring her back again. But, you know, I didn’t have such a good result, as I did prior.
Greta: Who had to tell Howard?
Moe: Oh, umm I had to, I had to call, I called him. I called him, but I believe when they, he didn’t really find out til they brought him into the hospital. And then he was really informed then. It was kinda sad that Anna, all though I feel like I’m her brother that I treated her like a brother that she didn’t have any real family member in there, during that time. I was in the actual ER room when they was pushing her with drugs and trying to revive her with CPR. And the doctor came to me, and told me that was her only family that she had around, I guess……did I want them to stop. My first thought was I believe she needed some kind of priest or chaplain. I asked for the chaplain of the hospital to come and uh it took about 15-20 minutes, the chaplain wasn’t there, so I just asked them could I just lay down there and say a prayer. So, I said her, I gave her, I’m no priest but I gave her what I thought was her last, you know, her last rights. And I prayed for her and then you know, told them to, you know, just let her go be with her son.
Greta: Terribly tragic, isn’t it?
Moe: Yes, and I’ve had plenty of conversations with Anna, and uh, now I see it took her death to understand what she was telling me. How people, you know, was treating her during life and now in her death. She can’t rest where she wanted to rest without a fight.
Greta: She created quite an effect in her life, and she created quite an effect in her death.
Moe: Yeah, it’s just that, as I said before, I’m out here because I had to be an advocate for her. I can’t, I sit back and you know, it’s unusual for someone of my other profession….a bodyguard to come out and speak. But someone has to speak for her. Just like a protected her in life, I have to protect her in death.
Greta: We will have much more with Big Moe, tomorrow night.
