Anna Nicole Smith has died!

Sad story all around - especially for her newborn.

rich people have things like personal assistants, personal nurses, personal trainers, etc. the rest of us cain't afford that sort of thing.

I was inferring as to why you would travel with a personal nurse. I.e. because that's the only way you are allowed to walk around with so many drugs.

I never said I feel superior to her, or that she fills some hole in my heart left by said need. :/

I'm entirely indifferent to her. There's a difference.

Yes, but not indifferent enough not to feel the need to comment anyway.

I'm really not trying to rip on you or anyone, heck I never took her seriously, and most of my exposure to her was through lampooning from Mad TV et al. I rolled my eyes when her inheritance case went to the US Supreme Court. I just think she moved beyond being what she was after the tragedies in her life, and those of us who saw her as what she was now saw her in a different light, and perhaps even saw something about ourselves that wasn't so nice.

That's all - no hard feelings or anything.

exactly, and only rich people can afford to have that. everyone else gets caught by the po-lice!

I feel the worse for her child in this situation.

But I think Werk's point is that if you had a personal nurse and bodyguard, wouldn't you want the CPR certified nurse performing CPR, not the bodyguard?

I was watching a news story stated that a few months ago she attempted suicide in her pool. She was found, person alerted the bodyguard (who's trained as a paramedic), who gave her CPR.

Marshalls son also died

Here is somethingelse that i had found. I was looking into where this son was of Howard Marshall and the lawsuit he had against Nicole Smith.

It turns out that the son of Howard Marshall is dead. He died in June but it did not state what year. I was preparing to find that out.

Would it be safe to assume he also lived in Houston, Texas? and to find out how he died?

Sounds like someone used them all to get to Mr J. Howard Marshalls money and then killed them all?

Holy crap!

Admittedly, she and I were far from close (distant cousin) ...

With what little I know of you Torm, this doesn't surprise me for some reason.

 

[megamania]

She lived a full and crazy life. I feel bad for the new born and hope however this ends, the kid is taken care of.



I hope this was accidental. A lot of money involved and many people suddenly dead. Hard not to think about that....

 

[Torm]

With what little I know of you Torm, this doesn't surprise me for some reason.

While realistically I'm pretty sure I know what you mean, I'm going to instead assume that you mean the part about she and I not having been close.



It IS true, though, that I thankfully seem to be the exception to many apparent rules on both sides of my family. Sometimes it seems like I'm this (almost?) sane person sitting in the middle of a giant and fairly poorly written soap opera. If it does turn out that these particular deaths have been for someone to get someone's inheritance - I can't even say that it would be the first time in my family! That's what my mom and her nephew went to prison for, too. And that's not even the same side of my family.

That's the reason I don't have much to do with my blood. I've managed to surround myself with "chosen family" that have much more mundane and realistic problems, for the most part.

Not to keep pushing in a negative direction, but...

"A personal nurse traveling with Ms. Smith called the hotel operator at 1:38 p.m. on Thursday to report she had found Ms. Smith alone and unconscious in her sixth-floor suite, the police said. Ms. Smith’s bodyguard arrived a few minutes later and tried to revive her with cardiopulmonary resuscitation, as did paramedics, who arrived after 2 p.m., they said, but she was pronounced dead at a nearby hospital about an hour later."

OK, who travels with a personal nurse? Why would you? Especially a nurse that finds the client unconcious and calls the front desk at the hotel...and the bodyguard does CPR?

And why does this report from the NYTimes differ from all the reports I read yesterday?

The body guard is a trained Paramedic. Apparently the same one that saved her from her suicide attempt after her son died right in front of her, in her hospital room, days after giving birth to her daughter.

I find it curious that the nurse called Stearn and waited for his call back before calling the front desk of the hotel to call 911.

If your a nurse and you find someone not breathing shouldn't 911 be the first number you call?

Why the nurse was with her, Anna had apparently been sick for several days, running a fever and other symptoms. So the nurse was there to take care of her for that. I don't know if this nurse always travelled with her or not.

Plus the initial autopsy ruled out any physical trauma as cause of death, and no pills were found in her stomach. So only injections are likely to be how any overdose, or drug interaction, occurred.
