Sources tell "Entertainment Tonight" that Anna Nicole Smith died this afternoon after she collapsed at a Florida hotel. Her lawyer later confirmed her death.
WFOR-TV in Miami first reported that Smith had been found unresponsive in her hotel room Thursday at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in Hollywood, Fla.
Smith, 39, was reportedly taken to Memorial Regional Hospital in Hollywood, Fla. Officials there told the Miami Herald, "It does not look good."
A spokesman from the fire department told CNN that a call was received after 2 p.m.
Witnesses told CNN that they performed CPR on Smith and that a tube was put down her throat.
The past year has been a turbulent one for Smith. She was facing a paternity suit filed by her ex-boyfriend, Larry Birkhead, who claimed to be the father of her infant daughter, Dannielynn. The baby was born Sept. 7 in the Bahamas. Smith's son, Daniel, 20, died suddenly just days after the baby's birth.
"Larry is devastated," Debra Opri, a lawyer for Birkhead, told CNN before word of her passing. "We hear it's very serious. I've never heard Larry so concerned. He's concerned about Anna and he's concerned about the child."
