We
all hope to live long and die a peaceful death in our sleep. Many times
this not the case. In some instancesand, the unexpected death can be
blamed on a person or action of another. Those cases are often termed
wrongful deaths.
Anna Nicole Smith, 39, died Thursday after collapsing in a hotel
room in Hollywood, Fla. According to USA Today her mother blamed drugs
for Anna Nicole Smith unexpected death.
According to the USA Today, Edwina Johnson, chief investigator of
the Broward County medical examiner's office, says officials plan to
announce the preliminary results from an autopsy performed by chief
medical examiner Joshua Perper. Johnson says that if Smith died of
natural causes, findings will likely be announced quickly. But he says
the cause of death could require further tests.
The head investigator in the Broward county coroners and medical
examiner’s department has yet to announce results from the initial
autopsy. The cause of death, however, may not be established
immediately due to the wait for toxicology results. According to
police, a personal nurse of Anna Nicole Smith walked in on the
unconscious ex-playmate sometime in the afternoon and promptly dialed
authorities. Although she was administered CPR at the scene by her
employees and taken to Memorial Regional Hospital, all efforts were to
no avail. Anna Nicole Smith was pronounced dead at 2:49 p.m.
