Anna Nicole Smith found dead in Florida hotel room!

Anna Nicole Smith - her litzy life found an abrupt end...Even though she’s not a ”fashion model”, we think her death should be mentioned after all anorexia and diet discussions of the past few months…
Heiress-reality TV star Anna Nicole Smith, 39, was announced dead upon arrival Thursday at the Memorial Regional Hospital in Floriday. Smith been staying at the Hard Rock Cafe and Casino in Hollywood, Florida.
No cause for Smith’s death has been announced. CNN is reporting that despite earlier reports that Smith had been found unconscious in her room, she was in fact found already dead.
Smith had originally worked as a restaurant waitress before becoming a Playboy model, and then definitively jumping into the limelight when she married an elderly oil tycoon.
Smith’s death comes just one day after she and the diet company TrimSpa were named in a class-action lawsuit that alleged the diet company’s marketing was false or misleading. Smith was the spokeswoman for TrimSpa. The lawsuit had sought to stop TrimSpa - and Smith - from claiming that people could lose weight by using its product.
Relatedly, in January the US Federal Trade Commission said that TrimSpa would pay $1.5 million to settle claims that its diet products were unsubstantiated.
The TrimSpa case was just one of a series of events to hit Smith, including the death of her son Daniel last year in her Bahama’s hospital room where she had given birth to a daughter.
Following the death of her son, Smith had found herself involved in challenges regarding her daughter’s paternity. Smith had been ordered to submit her daughter for DNA testing by February 21 as part of the legal battle to determine who is the baby’s biological father, and that involved her ex-boyfriend Larry Birkhead.
On top of it all, Smith was still involved in a legal battle over the estate of the oil tycoon J. Howard Marshall, II who she married when she was 26. Marshall was 89 and died a year after they were married. Smith initially won a $474 million judgment against the Marshall’s estate and his son Pierce, however that was later cut to $89 million and then once again reduced to nothing.
In May the US Supreme Court ruled that Smith could pursue her claims to inheritance in California courts.
