Anna Nicole Smith Dead After Collapsing at Hard Rock Casino  

Anna Nicole Smith collapsed and was administered CPR at the Seminole Hard Rock Casino in Hollywood Florida Thursday.  She was pronounced dead shortly thereafter.  

Sources confirmed to Access Hollywood that Smith was transported to Memorial Regional Hospital shortly after 2 p.m. EST on Thursday. Access Hollywood also is reporting that Smith was intubated on the scene and a Hollywood, Fla., fire department spokesman told MSNBC TV that the actress was unresponsive when they arrived.

The scene at the Hard Rock Casino in Hollywood, Florida was described as "chaotic".

"She checked in Monday at 8 p.m. as a guest. She was due to check out tomorrow," said Danielle Giordaano, a spokeswoman for the hotel.

Smith has been under tremendous stress over the past few months following the death of her son and a law suit filed against her.

On Tuesday, Smith and the diet products company TrimSpa Inc., for which she is a spokeswoman, were sued in a class-action lawsuit alleging their marketing of a weight loss pill is false or misleading.

Smith also was order by a judge to have baby daughter undergo paternity testing. The test is being sought by Smith's former boyfriend Larry Birkhead, who claims he is the father of Dannielynn Hope Marshall Stern. She was born Sept. 7 in the Bahamas.
 

CBS4 News Thursday afternoon confirmed that Anna Nicole Smith was found unresponsive in her hotel room at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in Hollywood and is now hospitalized at Memorial Regional Hospital.  The cause of her death was not yet known.
