Anna Nicole Smith was an American model, actress, and television personality who died with a net worth of $1 million. Anna Nicole Smith, born Vickie Lynn Hogan, rose to stardom in the 1990s as a cultural icon through different forms of entertainment and modeling.
Her career began in 1992 when she appeared on the cover of Playboy magazine, and she was named Playmate of the Year in 1993. This publicity launched her into the public eye, paving the way for her to become a well-known character in popular culture. She quickly became the face of Guess jeans, in addition to modeling for H&M, Lane Bryant, and Guess Jeans.
How did Anna Nicole Smith die?
Anna Nicole Smith was discovered unresponsive on February 8, 2007, at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Hollywood, Florida. Smith’s bodyguard’s wife, an emergency registered nurse, conducted cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) for 15 minutes before handing it over to the bodyguard. He’d returned to the motel when his wife informed him of Smith’s condition.
Joshua Perper, Broward County Medical Examiner and forensic pathologist supervised the investigation in collaboration with Seminole police and many other forensic pathologists and toxicologists. Smith died of “combined drug intoxication,” according to Perper, with the sleeping pill chloral hydrate being the “major component.” Her system contained no illicit substances.
According to the official report, her death was not the result of homicide, suicide, or natural causes. Smith died from an accidental overdose of the sedative chloral hydrate, which became increasingly toxic when combined with other prescription drugs in her system, specifically four benzodiazepines: Klonopin (clonazepam), Ativan (lorazepam), Serax (oxazepam), and Valium (diazepam).
She had also taken Benadryl (diphenhydramine) and Topamax (topiramate), both of which block sodium channels and so likely exacerbate the sedative effects of the chloral hydrate and benzodiazepines. Despite claims of methadone use being involved in Smith’s son’s death, Perper discovered methadone in her bile, showing it was presumably eaten 2-3 days before her death and so was not a contributory factor.
According to the postmortem report, abscesses on her buttocks, likely caused by past injections of vitamin B12 in the form of cyanocobalamin, as well as human growth hormone, and viral enteritis were contributing causes of death. Influenza A and B tests came back negative.
Eight of the eleven medicines found in Smith’s system, including the chloral hydrate, were prescribed to Stern, not Smith. Furthermore, two of the prescriptions were written for “Alex Katz” and one for Smith’s friend and psychiatrist, Dr. Khristine Eroshevich. Dr. Eroshevich wrote all of the prescriptions, according to Perper. Smith’s funeral was held in the Bahamas on March 2, 2007.
