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."
DR. JOSHUA PERPER, BROWARD COUNTY MEDICAL EXAMINER: If you find pills in the stomach or you find evidence of needle tracks on the arms, then obviously, you have a suspicion, which might be verified by toxicology or not. But the only way to make the final determination is by toxicology. And again, what`s important, it`s not the nature of the drug only, but also the blood levels of the drug because those are going to indicate whether they play a role in the death.
GRACE: Reports are out that Anna Nicole Smith actually died of pneumonia, which would largely explain her 105-degree fever just before her death. Is that true?
PERPER: Nancy, there are a lot of supposition and wild assertions which don`t rely on anything but imagination. All those rumors are really unfounded. They don`t have any leg to stand on.
AIDAN PICKERING, "INSIDE EDITION": Well, the Seminole Police Department has been looking into the death of Anna Nicole Smith. But I think perhaps what is going on here is that, you know, coroners and police are a bit like two participants in a three-legged race. They`re kind of tied together, and one has to come up with some results before the next phase can be embarked upon.
And I suspect what`s happening here is that you`ve got the autopsy results, which have now been forwarded to the police, and the police are looking at them to see, you know, where their investigation may have to go before they wrap it up.
GRACE: Out to Virgie Arthur`s attorney. We knew him well down in the courtroom in Florida, Tom Pirtle. This week, Tom, we were supposed to get the official cause of death released. Now it`s not. We now learn there`s ongoing police investigation. What is it?
TOM PIRTLE, ATTORNEY FOR VIRGIE ARTHUR: Well, we were concerned about that, too. We`re concerned about who`s involved or if anybody was involved. And we`re concerned about the safety of Dannielynn. That`s our main focus right now.
GRACE: Do you know, Tom, what police are investigating?
PIRTLE: From what I`ve heard -- and it`s just speculation -- they`re investigating the cause of death of Anna Nicole. And, also, there`s an inquest going on in the Bahamas, I believe, as to Daniel`s cause of death.
To Dr. Bruce Levy, medical examiner. Dr. Levy, I`m no doctor, a medical doctor anyway, but typically a criminal investigation would not change because of death.
LEVY: No, it wouldn`t. And you wonder if the results are being held for one to two weeks. Typically, we`ll do that in cases where the police are conducting a criminal investigation and they don`t want information to get out that might impair their ability to investigate.
So that bring in the whole question of, why did she die? And what`s the cause of death? If it`s natural, if it`s a drug overdose, that usually closes a police investigation at that point.
I'm sick of those husbands. Don't know how many more times I can watch them.
Well I immediately thought that they know about some video tape that will be made public. Pol looked like the cat that ate the canary.
That's what I was wondering too. Like there's a video somewhere of Anna announcing the father of her child?
ok....thanks....
Agreed. Think GBT will win in that fight.
"If suing them doesn't work, ....... accidents happen....."
This will continue to be interesting for quite some time...
MIKE BROOKS, FORMER D.C. POLICE: Well, that`s just one factor, Nancy. But I can tell you, the investigation is not over with. That`s why they`re not releasing anything.
Remember last week, you had law enforcement folks from Florida that were in the Bahamas. Well, I found out today from a source close to the investigation in Nassau, that, in fact, the Seminole police chief was also with the investigators.
So next week, you`re going to have a team of investigators going up to Seminole, from the Bahamas, from the Royal Bahamas Police Force, including possibly the commissioner, to look into the death of Anna Nicole, Daniel and also the break-in at the house. So it`s not over with.
I thought so.
Whew - I was so caught up in the work lurk mode then things speed up here at night.....thanks again for all the reports, links, comments, etc.
Another day, more significant developments.
But we all still await the TRUTH to finally come out re: daddy of the baby, her safety, and serious investigations about "suspicious" deaths carried to conclusion.
Night all - will try to worklurk again tomorrow but don't expect more surprises then - but who knows?
Have to break it in parts because it has to be excerpted.
Its getting more and more intriguing.
Star Jones is pissing me off..... she isn't at all worried about this baby, she is worried about all the poor babies in the world instead.
I think the police are onto something big.
This baby could be in danger with all the police activity going on. We don't know what HK$ is capable of. I hope they realize this.
2 questions....
What seizure disorder did ANS have?
And how in the heck did Daniel fit in the bed with Anna? Where he was supposedly sleeping when he died..
Not necessarily. There was a young girl who apparently hanged herself here in Houston a couple of years ago. It was ruled a suicide and case was closed.
Then, her boyfriend went to see Passion of The Christ and evidently found Jesus. He went to the cops and confessed that he had strangled her and staged it to look like a suicide.
I can understand Star Jones' concern:
Decomposing Bodies of 2 Toddlers Found Under House in San Antonio
Excessive prescription drug abuse can cause seizures. Some people (and animals) suffer seizures as a side effect to vaccination additives... without us knowing more, it's hard to tell.
I agree those cases are important, but for her to sumarrily dismiss any danger Dannielynn may be in is why I didn't like her on The View.
There have only been "allusions" to ANS having a seizure disorder, but nothing specific. She took seizure medication, but who knows if it was really for seizures or for her side effects of the drug abuse or withdrawal symptoms.
HKS said Daniel crawled into bed alongside ANS, so I guess he was pretty snuggled up close to his mom. That's *one* way he was said to have been found. The other was that he was sitting up in the chair in the room.
No way to know, since HKS had to *tell* ANS whatever version he wanted her to know.
