:o
You sorta follow the lives of people like Anna without even realising and it seems very shocking to read this on the BBC website. She seems to have lead a troubled life. Although I guess her husbands millions woulda been some comfort.
The flamboyant former model Anna Nicole Smith has died near Miami, Florida at the age of 39, her lawyer has said.
Smith, a former Playboy bunny, married Texas oil billionaire J Howard Marshall II in 1994 when she was 26 and he was 89. He died a year later.
She spent years in court fighting his son for a share of his estate, and won a victory at the Supreme Court in 2006.
She was found unconscious in a hotel room and could not be resuscitated. No cause of death has been announced.
US media have reported that an autopsy will be conducted on Friday.
One of Smith's lawyers told Reuters news agency her husband Howard K Stern was "speechless and grieving".
Smith, a former topless dancer, went on to model for Guess Jeans and Playboy before marrying Marshall.
Her son from a short-lived youthful marriage died at the age of 20 in September, just days after Smith's daughter was born.

It might be wrong of me to judge but most likely drugs!

But she has a very young daughter! :( :(

I always had sympathy for Anna Nicole. She had a very hard life, and was really never right in the head. Such a young age to die at too. Such a tragedy. Losing a child must have been so hard for her. I really hoped that one day she could lead a better life, but what can you do?
Her poor daughter having to grow up without her mother! I really hope that the custody battle gets sorted out asap, and that Anna Nicole made her peace with God and is now in Heaven with Daniel.
