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."
So far.
I'm sorry the voice and the lump/bump is getting me! (ewww and to think this guy was Anna coroner - veee have some vvvveeerryyy varge vumps on her chest vere!)
I think you drink it.
My mother was given methadone pills by Hospice.
OK that reporter just asked my question, nearly verbatim.
vose vumps may have been vake!
I have a feeling we'll never know the truth.
Ask Dr O what the significance of blood in stomach/terminal shock is all about??
Methadone is available in tablets, oral solution (liquid) and as an injection. The pill and oral liquid forms of methadone must never be used to make a methadone injection.

Methadone comes in both forms: liquid and pills.
In CA, doctors could only prescribe the pill form, whereas clinics were given the liquid form.
I missed the start of this. Did they find any evidence of cardiomyopathy or infection?
long term drug use...that could be natural cause....
Would an ulcer cause stomach bleeding?
That's another thing! He said there were pescribed prescriptions in the room....but he said he will not release the names of the peoples names on them. I wonder wheer Howard got the prescrips from....AND will they match the pills that son Daniel had.
Exactly.....vee need ti find out!
There was some inflimation of the heart and GI tract, this sounds like it could be myocarditis or endocarditis.
The drugs could have been injected. Did they mention any needle marks?
Causes and symptoms
Shock is caused by three major categories of problems: cardiogenic (meaning problems associated with the heart's functioning); hypovolemic (meaning that the total volume of blood available to circulate is low); and septic shock (caused by overwhelming infection, usually by bacteria).
Cardiogenic shock can be caused by any disease, or event, which prevents the heart muscle from pumping strongly and consistently enough to circulate the blood normally. Heart attack, conditions which cause inflammation of the heart muscle (myocarditis), disturbances of the electrical rhythm of the heart, any kind of mass or fluid accumulation and/or blood clot which interferes with flow out of the heart can all significantly affect the heart's ability to adequately pump a normal quantity of blood.
Hypovolemic shock occurs when the total volume of blood in the body falls well below normal. This can occur when there is excess fluid loss, as in dehydration due to severe vomiting or diarrhea, diseases which cause excess urination (diabetes insipidus, diabetes mellitus, and kidney failure), extensive burns, blockage in the intestine, inflammation of the pancreas (pancreatitis), or severe bleeding of any kind.
Septic shock can occur when an untreated or inadequately treated infection (usually bacterial) is allowed to progress. Bacteria often produce poisonous chemicals (toxins) which can cause injury throughout the body. When large quantities of these bacteria, and their toxins, begin circulating in the bloodstream, every organ and tissue in the body is at risk of their damaging effects. The most damaging consequences of these bacteria and toxins include poor functioning of the heart muscle; widening of the diameter of the blood vessels; a drop in blood pressure; activation of the blood clotting system, causing blood clots, followed by a risk of uncontrollable bleeding; damage to the lungs, causing acute respiratory distress syndrome; liver failure; kidney failure; and coma.
Initial symptoms of shock include cold, clammy hands and feet; pale or blue-tinged skin tone; weak, fast pulse rate; fast rate of breathing; low blood pressure. A variety of other symptoms may be present, but they are dependent on the underlying cause of shock.
LOL!
The doctor is NOT finished talking to the press!
