TMZ has full coverage:

*Anna Nicole’s former lawyer said she struggled with alcohol. Lenard Leeds said, “Anna always had problems with her weight going up and down, and there’s no question she used alcohol.” Leeds says it’s no secret that, “she had a very troubled life” adding Anna had, “so many, many problems.”

The former playmate often drew comparisons to another blonde bombshell, Marilyn Monroe. Leeds said, “She wanted to be like Marilyn her whole life and ironically died in a similar manner.” Marilyn died at age 36 in 1962.

During Leeds’ years working for Anna, “she embraced all the media attention, but later in life it became her worse enemy.”

*Anna’s former publicist say’s he’s not suprised.  David Granoff, Anna’s former publicist, told MSNBC that he was “sad, but not shocked” by Anna’s death. He added that there was “Just no spark in her anymore.”

*Autopsy to be performed tomorrow (Friday).

*Anna’s daughter was not with her. People.com is reporting that Anna’s 5-month-old daughter, Dannielynn Hope, was not with her at the time. Sources tell the magazine that she is being cared for in the Bahamas by the mother of Shane Gibson, a high-ranking Bahamian official who is a close friend of Smith’s.

TMZ has also learned that the hotel room that Anna was occupying at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel and Casino will be sealed off as a part of the investigation.

I’ll continue to bring you updates as I get them…

**UPDATE**

*Here’s a picture of the ambulance transporting Anna from the hotel to the hospital.

*Judge in paternitey case had ruled that Anna must submit Daniel’lynn to a DNA test by February 21st. Is this a coincidence? The judge made this ruling just yesterday.
