Anna Nicole Smith has died

I don't think the cause of death came as a surprise and she was on a VERY dangerous combination of drugs. I would guess she saw several MDs to get those drugs. If one MD prescribed them all he/she should lose the ability to practice medicine. It's sad.

Actually they said on court tv today that she was on regular doses of the meds she was taking. Nothing should have been toxic. The fever, her system being weak from depression and the virus all made her more prone to an overdose. She had been on the combo of drugs for quite a while, the only new meds were antibiotics. She was injecting human growth hormones into her hip and there was infection in the injection site as well as a mass on her butt cheek that was infected. There were 9 medications in her system all considered within normal doses. ~Mandy

She's had a very long history of abusing prescription drugs. Anyone else who took that combination would need to get to an ER STAT. It's a shame she didn't get therapy WITH the medications... a VERY strong sleeping med, anti-anxiety, anti-depressants, human growth hormone, etc. Again... very sad but the real sorrow if for her daughter.

I just finished reading the autopsy report. ANS was taller than I realized - 5' 11" - and weighed 178 pounds at the time of her death.

The "lethal" drug found in her system was Chloral Hydrate, a sleeping med usually administered only under close supervision. She had also taken Klonopin (an anti-anxiety drug), Valium (a tranquilizer), several muscle relaxants, and Antivan (another anti-anxiety drug). I don't know of any doctor who would prescribe ALL of those to the same patient, in anywhere near the same time frame. Pluse, there was the bodyguard/EMT and the nurse/companion. These so-called professionals failed her miserably. I guess they didn't want to lose their cushy paychecks, so they put their professional integrity in their back pocket and hoped for the best.

Carlene---I bet this didn't help your recent opinion on caregivers one iota did it? Seems like Mr. P's new fiance could have worked for ANS! $$$$ rules a lot of people.

The baby daddy is Larry Birkhead. I would bet money on it. And he will probably get custody - eventually.

Did anyone else know that ANS originally named her baby Hannah Rose?

I wish she HAD worked for ANS. My experience with paid care-givers is not good. I hired MANY to take care of my mom and none were very good. The best I could hope for was that they would show up Monday morning, sober, and not steal her blind.

I too hope that ANS's mother doesn't get the opportunity to raise her granddaughter. She obviously made a mess of things with Anna Nicole.

I'd bet that Larry B. is the father too. He has a good idea of the timing and all that. But I'm not so certain that he'd be a great parent. He's much more soft-spoken than anyone else in this case, but Anna Nicole went so far as to hook up with Stern legally and set a wedding date, perhaps to get Larry B. out of her life legally. She obviously was trying to distance herself from Larry. There has to be a reason.

I know most people think that Stern was telling her what to do every step of the way. I think she was probably not the brightest bulb on the porch, but she was smart enough to marry the old man with the money, go through a bad legal battle and win, get an endorsement to do jeans commericals, and get a TV reality show. Some with the help of Stern, some without his help. I think if she didn't have good reason to rely on Stern, and distance herself from Larry, she wouldn't have done what she did.

Lots of people have died from over-dieting, taking diet pills, and other very strong Vitamins, and wind up with heart failure. Lots of people die when they become ill after losing a spouse or child. She was in bad shape, physically and emotionally. It will be interesting to see how the dust settles around all the characters in her life. The poor girl. May she rest in peace.

What do ya'all think the B12 shots were about? Do think it is possible she was a wls paitent??

Nope.....I saw the pathologist on Larry King and he said there was NO evidence of any WLS. I also read the autopsy (it's available on line) and it would have mentioned it, just as it cataloged her breast implants, her piercings, and her tattoos.

Wow! I didn't know it was on the autopsy. Last night on E, I believe they were talking about 3" scars, but of course I fell asleep! lol...

An autopsy report is very graphic and very detailed. It will tell the world if you colored your hair, your real height and weight, every scar and imperfection on your body, and will describe all your internal organs (including your vagina and your anus).

Pretty invasive, huh?

      2 days until I fly out to San Diego to have my Bypass Surg. in Tiajuana Mexico. Not gonna lie, the nerves are starting to surface. I don't fear the surgery itself, or the fact that I'm traveling alone, but its the aftermath that I'm stressing about the most, after this 8 week wait. I'm excited to finally be here, but I am really dreading the post surgical chapter. I know its going to be tough, real tough and I think I'm just in my head to much now that the day i here. Wish me luck, Hopefully I'm one of the lucky ones, and everything goes smoothly. Cant wait to give an exciting update,. If there is anyone else have a June bypass or even a recent one, Id love to have someone to compare war stories with. Also, anyone near San Antonio Tx? See ya soon with the future me. 💜

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

        I'm so happy for you! You are about to change your life. I was so glad to get the sleeve done in Dec. I didn't have feelings of regret overall. And I'm down almost 60 lbs. I do feel a little sad at restaurants. I can barely eat half a kid's meal. I get adults meals often because kid ones don't have the same offerings at times. Then I feel obligated to eat on that until it's gone and that can be days. So the restaurant thing isn't great for me. All the rest is fine by me! I love feeling full with very little. I do wish I could drink when eating. And will sip at the end. Just a strong habit to stop. But I'm working on it! You will do fine! Just keep focused on your desire to be different. Not better or worse. But different. I am happy both ways but my low back doesn't like me that heavy. So I listened (also my feet!). LOL! Update us on your journey! I'm not far from you. I'm in Houston. Good luck and I hope it all goes smoothly! Would love to see pics of the town you go to for this. I've never been there. Neat you will be traveling for this! Enjoy the journey. Take it one day at a time. Sometimes a few hours at a time. Follow all recommendations as best you can. 💗

        Thank you so much for your well wishes. I am hoping that everything goes easy for me as well. We don't eat out much as it is, so it wont be too bad in that department. Thankfully. Also, I hear you regarding your back and feet!! I'd like to add knees to the list. Killing me as we speak! I'm only 5' so the weight has to go. Too short to carry all this weight. Menopause really did a doosey on me. (😶lol) My daughter also lives in Houston. with her Husband and my 5 grand-littles. I grew up in Beaumont, so I know Houston well, I will be sure to keep in touch and update you on my journey. I may need some advice in the future, or just motivation. Thank You so much for reaching out, I was hoping to connect with someone in the community. I really appreciate it. 💜

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        I hope your surgery on Wednesday goes well. You will be able to do all sorts of new things as you find your new normal after surgery. I don't know this from experience yet, but I am seeing a lot of positive things from people who have had it done. Best of luck!

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.
