Anna Nicole Smith has died after she was found unconscious in her Florida hotel room earlier today.

“I don’t have the cause right now,” Smith’s attorney, Ronald Rale, told MSNBC. “There obviously will be an autopsy. Anna did have some flu symptoms the last couple of days. I think she had a fever. This is just shocking.”

Smith died at about 3:45 p.m. ET. She was 39 years old.

Smith collapsed at around 1:30 p.m. ET today at the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in Hollywood, Florida. Her nurse who was with her called 911 at 1:38 p.m. At 1:45 p.m., her bodyguard administered CPR, according to police.

Police had to shut down the streets to expedite her transport, according to reports.

Smith was unresponsive and emergency personnel had to put a tube down her throat.

Reports of her death began surfacing only about an hour after the initial reports.

Smith, the former actress, model and reality star, has been involved in a paternity suit regarding her five-month-old daughter Danielynn. Her 20-year-old son Daniel died just a three days after the birth of her daughter.
