The Death Of Anna Nicole Smith: One Year Later

She Died Of An Accidential Overdose

FORT LAUDERDALE (CBS4) ― South Florida was cast into the national spotlight one year ago today when Anna Nicole Smith was found unconscious in her room at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel and Casino near Hollywood.

The former Playboy centerfold later died the same day at a hospital. Her sudden death started a tabloid frenzy in a Broward County courtroom over her body and the paternity and custody of her infant daughter.

California officials and the Seminole Police Department continue to investigate the numerous prescriptions written for Smith by her doctors. An autopsy showed she died of an accidental overdose.

The Seminole Hard Rock gutted the hotel room where Smith was found and renumbered all the rooms on that floor to discourage fans from making her room a shrine.
