(CNN) — Reality TV star and former model Anna Nicole Smith was pronounced dead Thursday after being taken to a Florida hospital after being found unconscious in her hotel room, a law enforcement source with knowledge of the case told CNN.

Smith, 39, collapsed at a south Florida hotel and was taken to a local hospital, according to news reports.

TMZ.com had reported that Smith collapsed at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in Hollywood, Florida, and was rushed to Memorial Regional Hospital in Hollywood just after 2 p.m. ET.

According to reports, Smith was found unresponsive in her hotel room.

**I am really – really sad about this.  I’m a mom – and I don’t know how I would ever get over losing my son. My gut tells me that she killed herself.  She’s got a lot of controversy circulating around her right now.  With the death of her son, and then the DNA drama with her daughter. It can’t be a coincidence that she has died just days before a court ordered DNA test on her daughter.

Her poor daughter.  I mean seriously…this is a sad ending to an already tragic story.
