HOLLYWOOD, Fla. (February 8, 2007) -- According to a credible source, an employee of Anna Nicole Smith found her in her room in the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in Hollywood, Florida. The employee pulled back a sheet and discovered that she appeared to have choked on her own vomit.

The same source claims that Smith took what was referred to as a "children's sedative," and had "kept passing out" before her death.

AccessHollywood.com has learned from this same source that one of the attending physicians at Memorial Regional Hospital was Dr. Randy Katz. When we contacted Dr. Katz, he acknowledged that he was indeed an attending physician, but Dr. Katz would not comment on any specifics related to his care of Smith.

2. i imagine dying could be unsettling to ones stomach

i dunno im just guessing =/

edit, ohhh dang sorry: i meant that to go on the original post

[LittleClarkie]

3. You

or else you wouldn't have responded.

[Harper_is_Bush]

13. uh, no. I care about the fact that inane information like this is considered more important than

things that are really important.

That's why I responded.

[LoZoccolo]

15. I have to agree with Harper_is_Bush that it's important to set priorities.

Now back to Elizabeth Edwards' light bulbs, if we may.

[Harper_is_Bush]

18. No no, not Elizabeth Edwards' light bulbs.....rather...

the question of:

"Do you change your bulbs NOW, or wait until your incandescents burn out?"

That always was, and still is, the jist of that thread.

Do not make me bump it LoZo, cause I will!

EDIT: Here is the link for those wanting to know what LoZo is raZzing me about (or if you want to bump it!)

21. I'm sorry I forgot. I kicked it so it would stay up there to remind me. n/t

[Harper_is_Bush]

23. Nice. I hope Elizabeth revisits her blog someday and gives me a reply.

I very politely asked the question as "duer".

A smart lady like that surely knows what's correct.

26. I am familiar with the snickers ad controversy in which a bar was utilized as a sexual conduit.

I agree that it was poor humor, but it ain't worthy of any comment.

38. Why did you poison all of us with your stupid obsession of her light bulbs

Why not ask it as a private citizen because last time I looked at that toxic thread, you are pretty much on your own in your quest for her to change her lightbulbs. It isn't a topic that DU'ers have embraced.

[LoZoccolo]

44. I think more DUers need to see it, so it will catch on. n/t

[helderheid]

19. Thank you.

[Harper_is_Bush]

20. lol

[WinkyDink]

42. Like missing male hikers?

[flvegan]

5. Some might.

When you have your own site, you can choose what gets posted. Otherwise...your ass, your explosion.

[Bluebear]

7. Yeah, hopefully she suffered!

:eyes:

[blonndee]

9. Wow, what a sweet response to a fellow DUer. "Stick it up your ass" indeed.

Maybe something ought to be REMOVED from another's first?

[BlooInBloo]

12. DUers....

This has been another episode of Simple Answers To Simple Questions.

4. Oh, that poor dear woman, well hopefully she was zonked out and didn't experience pain.

:cry:

[Obamarama]

6. Yeah, well how many innocent people died in pools of their own blood today in Iraq?

Why don't you siren out a headline about them?

What's next....she choked on a fucking ham sandwich? I'm with the other guy...WHO THE FUCK CARES?

[flvegan]

10. How much of a limit exists on your empathy?

Why don't YOU siren out a headline about them? No...it's easier to point out a perception of a shortcoming then to actually do something.

Fucking mark.

[saracat]

14. Jeebus.Get a grip. Troops dying don't mean Anna's death is unimportant. Life is life and it should

not be treated lightly and respected whether that life is Anna Nicole Smith's or a soldier.They have equal value.Unfortunately, celebrity gets more notice but Anna's death should not be treated contemptuously because she was famous. If one does not care about her life I doubt that one cares about the soldiers either.

[Obamarama]

22. I never said I didn't care about her life....

What's breathtaking is how many people are "mourning" the death of someone they never knew, and who made little impact on their lives other than being a little puff of pop culture cotton candy.

I'm sure her friends and family are quite devastated, as they should be. But to read half the threads on DU about ANS today, you'd think someone who had a real and significant impact on contemporary society died.

It's not so much a commentary on ANS, as it is a commentary on the poor, foolish people who mourn someone they didn't even know, who have to glom onto some vapid pop-culture icon in death so they can dramatically "grieve" her death. THAT's the psychology I can't understand.

[Guaranteed]

29. Yeah, it's like people who cry in movies. It never even happened,

for fuck's sake! You don't know those people! Why do you care?

It's ridiculous.

[jollyreaper2112]

35. yup, that's kind of how I'm feeling on it

That's why I'm standing back and kind of staring slackjawed at the situation, Kzoo. Guess that makes us both goons.

[originalpckelly]

27. So now we're having a competition for how painfully someone died?

Isn't that like a race to the bottom?

[Obamarama]

28. No, just an observation of what they did with their lives when they were alive.

[WinkyDink]

43. Your lack of human empathy for ANS belies your claim to empathy

for the unknown Iraqi dead.

[babylonsister]

8. What if she did? What's with the caps? Are they, and you, feasting on the thought? nt

[Canuckistanian]

11. Did they dust it? n/t

[Bobbieo]

16. Didn't Cass Elliot - Mamas and Papas - die the same way?

Choking on her vomit. Jeez -What a way to go!!!

[LoZoccolo]

17. Actually, the ham sandwich thing was just an urban legend. n/t

[SCRUBDASHRUB]

30. Cass died of a heart attack, actually.

31. I was thinking more of Spinal Tap

You know, Eric Childs, Spinal Tap drummer, choked to death on someone else's vomit?

[AlCzervik]

25. how has christopher Hitchens avoided this fate?

i don't know if it's true about ANS but if anyone was likely to choke on their own vomit it would bet on Hitchens.

[jollyreaper2112]

36. I know

I think he has something in the rider about always having someone on hand to turn him over after he passes out specifically so he can avoid a Keith Moon situation.

[Bucky]

32. isn't choking to death on your vomit a sign of a drug overdose?

Given the timing, I would say the claim that the death was purely accidental has the burden of proof.

[ScreamingMeemie]

33. No. When I had pneumonia in the hosptial,was running a high fever,

and had tachycardia, I started vomiting uncontrollably and had to be intubated. There is a nerve (explaine to me later by a doctor) that causes this when one's heart goes out of beat. While I'm sure it can be caused by an overdose, I am equally sure her high fever could have messed with her heart causing the same result.

[havocmom]

34. Sometimes yes, sometimes no.

Aspiration happens.

[Horse with no Name]

41. Not necessarily.

In shock pulmonary edema you foam and froth at the mouth and can sometimes be mistaken for vomiting by some. I am not sure where the story originated so that is always a possibility of what was going on.
The possibilities are limitless as to what happened and why.
I think we would be best served to wait for the coroner report...but we recently lost a new mother to this ailment when her baby was 3 months old.
Couple recent childbirth with recent pneumonia and the reports that she has had some flu-like symptoms in the last couple of days...this isn't a farfetched assumption.

[Horse with no Name]

37. Dying isn't pretty

Why is this even a topic to be discussed?
What's next? A discussion on the rotting of the corpse?

[meow mix]

39. at this point i really have to wonder..

cant even believe what im seeing on here so far.

[alittlelark]

40. I hope to go out unnoticed by the MSM.

In other words, not in some 'Ratings Gain' kinda way. MOST of us have that privilege.
