Continuing coverage from TMZ:
(3:25PM)*Anna Nicole Moved to VIP Area. Sources inside Memorial Regional tell TMZ that Anna Nicole’s body has been moved to a VIP section of the hospital, which is off-limits to everyone except for key hospital personnel and requires special keycards for entry.
A death certificate will be filed within 24 hours.
*Attorney said she suffered from “flu like” symptoms this week. Attorney Ron Rale says Anna had been under the weather with “flu-like symptoms” the past week and she “showed signs of a fever” last night. According to Rale, Anna’s lawyer-turned-partner Howard K.Stern is at the Miami hospital now and is overwhelmingly distraught.
*Attorney said that DNA will be discussed in court Friday. Attorney Ron Rale, who had been representing Anna Nicole in her paternity battle with Larry Birkhead, tells TMZ there will be a court hearing tomorrow. He says he was contacted by reps for Larry Birkhead and they will go to court to discuss the matter of DNA testing.
*Trimspa releases a statement. TRIMSPA has released the following statement regarding Anna Nicole’s death: “Today, Anna Nicole Smith’s grief stricken and tumultuous personal life came to an end. Anna came to our Company as a customer, but she departs it as a friend. While life for Anna Nicole was not easy these past few months, she held dear her husband, Howard K. Stern, her daughter, Dannielynn Hope, her most cherished friends, beloved dogs, and finally, her work with TRIMSPA. Anna knew both the joy of giving life, and the heartache of losing a child. We pray that she is granted the peace that eluded her more recent days on earth, and that she finds comfort in the presence of her son, Daniel.”
*Paramedic said that Anna was dead when he got to her hotel room. NBC affiliate WTVJ in Miami did an on air interview with a Hollywood, Florida paramedic who was one of the first to arrive at Anna’s hotel room after she was found unresponsive. The paramedic said she was not alive when he got to the room.
(3:37PM)*Sources say that Hospital Personell believe Anna died from heart failure. How appropriate yet tragic that would be.
*Howard K. Stern IS Danielynn’s legal guardian. With the sudden death of Anna Nicole Smith, Howard K. Stern has already assumed the title of “legal guardian” of Anna Nicole Smith’s 5-month-old daughter Danielynn, according to the laws of the Commonwealth of the Bahamas.
The law states, “On the death of the mother of a child, the father, if surviving, shall, subject to the provision of this Act, be guardian of the child, either alone or jointly with any guardian appointed by the mother. ”
Smith named Stern as the father on Danielynn’s Bahamian birth certificate.
(4:08PM) *SPLASH NEWS posts this picture on their site, claims to have video of CPR being performed on an unresponsive Anna Nicole. I really REALLY hope this isn’t true…but it looks legit to me.

If a video does exist, that is really disturbing. I think even though Anna was “slow”, whether it was from drugs or just genetics, she was pretty and seemed like a great mother to her children. Although she was not the perfect role model, she really seemed to care about her children. I wonder if Larry feels horrible right now. There is only so much stress one person can handle before they just break. Her life was truly tragic.

i can’t believe this. especially after all the attention she’s been getting (even if it were bad attention, with her sons’ death and finding out who the father of the baby is and stuff), this is so unexpected!

Who gives a shit that they are going to show the video???You don’t have a problem with running every story about her you can. So if i were them, I’d tell you to FUCK OFF AND MIND YOUR OWN BUSSINESS.

A rare find Anna Nicole Smith was, truly captivating to all. Her beauty and life story will go on for years and years, she may even become a true legend, but what a price to pay. May Anna and Daniel rest in peace.
