Even though it has been five days since Anna Nicole Smith died in a Florida hospital, the cause of death is still a mystery. Speculation is rising however, and fingers are starting to point towards TrimSpa as being a contributing factor in her death. Recent photos of the 39-year-old sex symbol's home in the Bahamas, featured on TMZ.com, show a refrigerator full of methadone and SlimFast and countertops filled with bottles of prescription drugs and TrimSpa. Smith became the spokesperson for the diet pill after reportedly losing 69 pounds by using it.
Smith was found unconscious in her hotel room at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Hollywood, Florida around 1 p.m. February 8. She was rushed to hospital but died the same day. An autopsy performed Friday was inconclusive and no drugs were found in her stomach, although there were antidepressants and pain medications found in her hotel room. There have been reports that Smith began taking medications following the sudden death of her son Daniel five months ago.
The timing of Smith's death could not be worse for the makers of TrimSpa Inc. The company is in the middle of a multi-million-dollar lawsuit brought on by the Federal Trade Commission for allegedly making false claims about the safety and effectiveness of the product. Autopsy results may clear the company of any role in the death of Smith, but it is unclear what this will mean for the lawsuit that involved the blonde celebrity. One thing is for sure, the mystery surrounding her death is eerily similar to that of her idol Marilyn Monroe and we may never know the whole story.
