No matter what she did in her life, she didnt deserve to die. I wonder if she was so depressed by all the stress in her life and committed suicide. Some are saying she was murdered or died from TrimSpa. The autopsy is scheduled for tmw. Wait and see...
I feel so bad for her little baby girl. Poor baby.

Could be the Post-partum depression that she committed suicide? I rather know the facts from the autopsy before thinking "maybe she did..." "maybe someone murdered her..." etc. but the fact is she's dead. It is sad. she didn't deserve it.

Jeez! That was a shock to read a news about Anna Nicole. I have read it elsewhere before coming to Alldeaf that it said that she died what appears to be from drug overdose. She had a dark history of substance abuse. Maybe that's what killed her. Sorry about her daughter will grow up without a mother. RIP Anna Nicole.

Anna Nicole Smith dead at ages 39 years old what so shock!
Anna Nicole Smith collapses, dies at 39
Anna Nicole Smith collapses, dies at 39 - Yahoo! News
HOLLYWOOD, Fla. - Anna Nicole Smith, the pneumatic blonde whose life played out as an extraordinary tabloid tale — Playboy centerfold, jeans model, bride of an octogenarian oil tycoon, reality-show subject, tragic mother — died Thursday after collapsing at a hotel. She was 39.
She was stricken while staying at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel and Casino and was rushed to a hospital. Edwina Johnson, chief investigator for the Broward County Medical Examiner's Office, said the cause of death was under investigation and an autopsy would be done on Friday.
Just five months ago, Smith's 20-year-old son, Daniel, died suddenly in the Bahamas in what was believed to be drug-related.
Seminole Police Chief Charlie Tiger said a private nurse called 911 after finding Smith unresponsive in her sixth-floor room at the hotel, which is on an Indian reservation. He said Smith's bodyguard administered CPR, but she was declared dead at a hospital.
Through the '90s and into the new century, Smith was famous for being famous, a pop-culture punchline because of her up-and-down weight, her Marilyn Monroe looks, her exaggerated curves, her little-girl voice, her ditzy-blonde persona, and her over-the-top revealing outfits.
Recently, she lost a reported 69 pounds and became a spokeswoman for TrimSpa, a weight-loss supplement. On her reality show and other recent TV appearances, her speech was often slurred and she seemed out of it. Some critics said she seemed drugged-out.
"Undoubtedly it will be found at the end of the day that drugs featured in her death as they did in the death of poor Daniel," said a former attorney for Smith in the Bahamas, Michael Scott.
Another former Smith attorney, Lenard Leeds, told the celebrity gossip Web site TMZ that Smith "always had problems with her weight going up and down, and there's no question she used alcohol." Leeds said it was no secret that "she had a very troubled life" and had "so many, many problems."
"She wanted to be like Marilyn her whole life and ironically died in a similar manner," Leeds said. Monroe died of a drug overdose at age 36 in 1962.
Smith attorney Ron Rale told The Associated Press that he had talked to her on Tuesday or Wednesday, and she had flu symptoms and a fever and was still grieving over her son.
"Poor Anna Nicole," he said. "She's been the underdog. She's been besieged ... and she's been trying her best and nobody should have to endure what she's endured."
The Texas-born Smith was a topless dancer at strip club before she entered her photos in a search contest and made the cover of Playboy magazine in 1992. She became Playboy's playmate of the year in 1993. She was also signed to a contract with Guess jeans, appearing in TV commercials, billboards and magazine ads.
In 1994, she married 89-year-old oil tycoon J. Howard Marshall II, owner of Great Northern Oil Co. In 1992, Forbes magazine estimated his wealth at $550 million.
In a 2005 interview with ABC, Smith recalled meeting Marshall at what she called a "gentleman's club' in Houston. "He had no will to live and I went over to see him," she said. "He got a little twinkle in his eyes, and he asked me to dance for him. And I did."
Marshall died in 1995 at age 90, setting off a feud with Smith's former stepson, E. Pierce Marshall, over his estate. A federal court in California awarded Smith $474 million. That was later overturned. But in May, the U.S. Supreme Court revived her case, ruling that she deserved another day in court.
The stepson died June 20 at age 67. But the family said the court fight would continue.
Smith starred in her own reality TV series, "The Anna Nicole Show," in 2002-04. Cameras followed her around as she sparred with her lawyer, hung out with her personal assistant and interior decorator, and cooed at her poodle, Sugar Pie. She also appeared in movies, performing a bit part in "The Hudsucker Proxy" in 1994.
After news came of Smith's death, G. Eric Brunstad Jr., the lawyer who represented Marshall, said in a statement: "We're very shocked by the news and extend the deepest condolences to her family."
In a statement, Playboy founder Hugh Hefner said: "I am very saddened to learn about Anna Nicole's passing. She was a dear friend who meant a great deal to the Playboy family and to me personally."
Smith's son died Sept. 10 in his mother's hospital room in the Bahamas, just days after she gave birth to a daughter.
An American medical examiner hired by the family, Cyril Wecht, said he died accidentally of a combination of methadone and two antidepressants. Last month, a Bahamas magistrate scheduled a formal inquiry into the death for March 27.
Meanwhile, the paternity of Smith's now 5-month-old daughter remained a matter of dispute. The birth certificate lists Dannielynn's father as attorney Howard K. Stern, Smith's most recent companion. Smith's ex-boyfriend Larry Birkhead was waging a legal challenge, saying he was the father.
Debra Opri, the attorney who filed his paternity suit, said Birkhead "is devastated. He is inconsolable, and we are taking steps now to protect the DNA testing of the child. The child is our No. 1 priority."
Smith was born Vickie Lynn Hogan on Nov. 28, 1967, in Houston, one of six children. Her parents split up when she was a toddler, and she was raised by her mother, a deputy sheriff.
She dropped out after 11th grade after she was expelled for fighting, and worked as a waitress and then a cook at Jim's Krispy Fried Chicken restaurant in Mexia.
She married 16-year-old fry cook Bill Smith in 1985, giving birth to Daniel before divorcing two years later.

Anna Nicole: A Look Back at Her Life
Anna Nicole: A Look Back at Her Life | Anna Nicole Smith : People.com
Divorced as a teen, widowed at 27, and now dead at 39, Anna Nicole – or Nikki, as people in her hometown of Mexia, Texas, first called her – lived a life worthy of a soap opera.
When she was only 17, she married 16-year-old Billy Smith, who worked with her at Jim's Krispy Fried Chicken. The short-lived marriage produced a son, Daniel, who, after his parents' divorce, was left by Anna Nicole with her mother, Virgie Hart, while she scraped together a living as a single mother.
Fiercely driven, Anna Nicole in 1991 sent nude photos of herself to Playboy, which featured her as 1992's Miss May. That led to a Guess jeans contract and a ticket out of Mexia.
Also in 1991, she met billionaire oilman J. Howard Marshall II at a Houston men's club where she was working as a stripper. They wed in 1994. She was 26; he 89.
When Marshall died 13 months later, Smith found herself locked in a vicious battle with his son, E. Pierce, over a $1.6 billion estate. E. Pierce died in June 2006, but the fight continued after a May 2006 decision in which the U.S. Supreme Court allowed Smith to pursue her suit in Federal Court.
While her behavior – on her eponymous E! reality show and in her appearances as a spokesmodel for TrimSpa – was often labeled outlandish, no one ever doubted that she was a loving mother to Daniel.
The holidays were particularly important to her. "I don't have any good memories from Christmas when I was a girl," Smith told PEOPLE in 2004. "So I tried to make them special for Daniel. We never missed a trip to the mall to see Santa to take pictures."
But on Sept. 10 of last year, the unthinkable happened. Daniel, then 20, died suddenly in a Bahamas hospital room, three days after his mother had given birth there to a to 6-lb. 9-oz. daughter.
The death sent a shattered Smith into seclusion, despite her joy at the birth of her new child, Dannielynn Hope. "She's overwhelmed," her Bahamian attorney, Michael Scott, told PEOPLE shortly after the tragedy. "She's trying to come to grips with the depths of her despair."
Dr. Cyril Wecht, a private coroner hired by the Smith family, told PEOPLE that Daniel's death was the result of a lethal combination of medications including methadone, Zoloft and Lexapro. The death will be investigated by a Bahamian court in an inquest due to begin March 26, Chief Magistrate Roger Gomez tells PEOPLE.
But after Daniel's passing, Smith's story only got more complicated. On Sept. 26, Smith's U.S. attorney and confidant, Howard K. Stern, 38, announced on Larry King Live that he was Dannielynn's father – despite a paternity claim by Los Angeles photographer Larry Birkhead, 34.
Then, on Sept. 28, Smith and Stern held a commitment ceremony on a catamaran off the coast of the Bahamas' Paradise Island.
By late October, Smith was ready to talk about Daniel, telling TV's Entertainment Tonight, "I don't understand why God took him and didn't take me." She also said of daughter Dannielynn, "She looks like Daniel."
But life showed no signs of calming down. This week, Smith and TrimSpa were sued in a class-action lawsuit alleging their marketing of a weight-loss pill was false or misleading, and on Wednesday a judge ordered that Smith and Dannielynn submit to a DNA test to determine the infant's paternity.
But even before this week's developments, the drama had clearly taken its toll. Entertainment Tonight correspondent Mark Steines, writing on the show's Web site, said that when he interviewed her in October, she seemed different than she had when he'd met her in the past. "She seemed calmer, sadder," he wrote. "A bit broken, yet she looked quite beautiful."
