Anna Nicole Smith has died according to ABC News

"she put the pillow away and started CPR"
"we got water"

These statements confuse me?

That article you linked to lists Topomax as a pain killer, but someone here has told me that Topomax is used for seizures. This link about Topomax mentions nothing about it being a pain killer but confirms it is in fact used for seizures and mentions nothing else. But take note of the side effects.

He wouldn't testify under oath what drugs she was on, but he will on TV?

If you just put the post number up in the address line above here, at the end, in place of the current post number, you can go straight to it.

That you for that audio. I don't have a source other than NBC, and that this is obviously an interview that was done with the Hollywood Fire and Rescue crews, the afternoon of 8 Feb 2007. I transcribed everything but the very last sentence, which I could not make out.

Interviewer: Hello?

Unidentified voice: I'm ready

Int: OK, Here we go. You got everything? OK, just give me your name and your title, please

UV: Matthew Phillips, Hollywood Fire Rescue department spokesperson

Int: OK Matt, what can you tell us about what transpired this afternoon at the Hard Rock facility.

MP: Hollywood Fire Rescue received a phone call shortly after 2:00 to respond to the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel and Casino located on the Seminole Indian Reservation in Hollywood, Florida. Upon arrival our rescue crews were escorted to a guest room where they found an unresponsive female subject. At that time she was not breathing. We began our standard protocol of CPR and everything that goes with it, we then transported this female to Hollywood Memorial Regional Hospital, in Hollywood Florida.

Int: OK, this female, at the time she was being transported, was she still alive at the time she left the hospital..... or the time she left the hotel?

Phillips: She was not breathing and she was not responsive when our rescue crews arrived at the hotel.

Interviewer: Were the people that were with her able to give you any information about what transpired before she became unresponsive to them?

Phillips: I have received no information as far as any bystanders or whatever statements they were able to give to our rescue crew.

Interviewer: Was she in the room alone?

Phillips: Stand by. (To someone else:Was she in the room alone?)

Unidentified voice: She was in the room alone, she was found by her body guard who is a Miami paramedic.) Unintelligible noise.

Phillips: She was found by our rescue crew, alone in the room, and we were notified by her personal bodyguard.

Interviewer: OK, what can you tell us and I know there's certain restrictions about the information but in a situation like this, give us some idea what your paramedics would have done when they arrived on the scene to try to assist her.

Phillips:Stand by one moment. (To someone else: Do you want to go through basically what you guys did upon your arrival? He's asking, this is....yeah this is NBC.

Interviewer: Hey look, are you with the paramedics that were there?

Phillips: Pardon?

Interviewer: Are you with the paramedics that went to the call? Phillips: No, I'm not with the paramedics who were there, but we did have an engine crew respond.

Interviewer: OK, is one of them, that was actually there in the room with you?

Phillips: Yes, hold on

Interviewer: OK, thank you.

Unidentified voice: Hello

Interviewer: Yes, who am I speaking with now?

UV: This is Captain Fitzgerald.

Interviewer: Captain Fitzgerald, you were one of the people that responded to the scene?

Cpt Fitzgerald: Yes

Int: Tell me what happened when you arrived.

CF: Seminole rescue was already in the room with a lot of Seminole security, also her bodyguard and her husband, Howard Stern was on scene. He was concerned ...... so he was giving us her medical history.

Int: What was the situation with her when you arrived at the room?

CF: Seminole rescue was attempting CPR at the time Hollywood rescue 74 stepped in and took over the scene, intubated the patient, that means put the tube down the throat. We started an IV, we pushed all the medications, we took took 12 EDKGs [?] we attempted pacing her which would be an external pacemaker for the heart and we had electrical captures but no mechanical capture, which meant we couldn't get her heart beating.

Int: Was we alive when you all arrived?

CF: No, she was unconscious and not breathing.

Int: What did the family members or the bodyguard tell you about what transpired in the minutes up to that.

CF: That he came back to the room and found her unconscious. He put her on the floor and started CPR and called for help.

Int: Tell me, not just with her, but when you find a person under these kinds of circumstances and situations, cause we know there is certain information that you can't give out specifically, what do your people do, what would be a standard procedure in a case like this?

CF: Well, we would start with the basics. We've got to start with CPR, and then we intubate, put a tube down into the lungs so that we can control the airway, and we start CPR, start an IV, and without all the information from witnesses there's just certain medications that we push automatically, like Narcan for any chance of overdose, bicarb [?] cause we didn't know how long she was down, and epinephrine is like an adrenaline to start the heart, to get the heart started back on it's own, atropine ...there's a whole list of medications that we do as far as protocols go.

Int: Did she respond at all to anything you tried to do to help her?

CF: No, not that I saw.

Int: And the family members, was there anything that they said to you, that transpired during the course of the morning or early afternoon that would have given you any indication or given them any indication that she could have experienced this kind of trauma?

CF: No, we didn't get any information to that. As far as we know, she was left in the room, and then when they came back to the room, she was not breathing.

Int: Is there anything else you can add about what transpired in terms of your call and the time that you were there with her, before she was transported to the hospital.

CF: I mean, the inter-agencies worked real well together, Hollywood Fire Rescue and Seminole rescue was on scene. Seminole security for the Hard Rock cleared the hallways to transport her downstairs to get her in the truck. And then she did have a .....so all the agencies worked together as well as we could have, given the circumstances. There was just no way of knowing how long she'd been down, before she was discovered, which could make all the difference in the world. When you witness somebody pass out, then you can initiate care immediately. But if somebody passes out and its not witnessed, and they lay there for 20 minutes or so before they are found, it makes a much more difficult scenario to work our protocols and be successful.

Int: So you don't have any idea how long she could have been unconscious before you guys arrived?

CF: No, we never did get that information, how long she was left alone...no.

Int: And it's your belief that she was already deceased when you arrived on the scene?

CF: That's what......[????] a day or two?

"I am also surprised that her "commitment ceremony" husband wasn't with her at the hospital too."

My first thoughts, too. But then again, who would be there at the hotel to get rid of the "criminal" evidence besides Stern?

If that was my loved one, I would have been in that ambulance to accompany her to the hospital.

Yeah, The Insider has a man named Frank Rodriguez on now, who was a regular on her show, and he's saying she had lupus. Then they had HKS rebutting it and saying he never believed it and doesn't think it's true.

Lupus causes major problems in pregnancy. I would think if she had Lupus (and was on all the other drugs) she would have had a very high risk pregnancy and probably at her age would have been very sick during the pregnancy.

Sounds like she was in PEA, pulseless electrical activity, or a Bradycardia.

Sounds like she was in PEA, pulseless electrical activity, or a Bradycardia since they were trying to Pace her.

I only heard Wecht say it. I think Perper isn't talking.

pulseless electrical activity is any heart rhythm observed on the electrocardiogram that should be producing a pulse, but is not.

Hi, you seem to know alot about the heart. Could this be considered to be a Sudden Cardiac Death?

Inside Edition is on now and they just talked about Larry getting to hold the baby Friday night around 10PM, feeding her a bottle, putting her up on his shoulder, burping her and having her spit up on him, lol!

(So ya think he's washed that shirt? Bet not!)

Anyway, they *said*:

"Stern is willing to concede that Dannielynn is Larry's child, if he (HKS) can have some of Anna Nicole's property."

Some think Thompson is trying to profit off the house - but he did it so that he can get Stern out faster (claiming he wants to sell it and he jacked the price up on to put it out of Stern's price range so that Stern cannot buy it and turn it into a Mini Graceland.)
