HOLLYWOOD, Fla. -- Anna Nicole Smith has died after collapsing at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel and Casino. She was 39 years old.

Charlie Tiger of the Seminole Police Department said Smith was a frequent visitor to the hotel and casino. She had checked in to the hotel Monday evening and was scheduled to check out Friday.

The events of the afternoon leading up to Smith's death, according to Tiger, were that a private nurse employed by Smith placed a call to the hotel operator and the operator called 911 at 1:38 p.m.

Smith's bodyguard was not in the room at the time of the star's collapse, but apparently came into the sixth-floor hotel room and performed CPR at 1:45 p.m. When paramedics arrived, she was unresponsive and she was rushed to nearby Memorial Regional Hospital just after 2 p.m.
