Anna Nicole's Death Certificate

TMZ has obtained the official certificate of death for Anna Nicole Smith, filed earlier today in Broward County, Florida.
Smith's death certificate
On the document, Howard K. Stern is named the "Informant," and describes his relationship to Anna as "Nominated Executor." What's interesting is that he did not list himself as Anna's husband, boyfriend or even lawyer. An official from the Broward County Office of Vital Statistics told TMZ, "We would have not given him that title without his request."

The certificate also states that Anna's level of education is "8th or less."

The former Playboy Playmate and TRIMSPA spokesperson was discovered unconscious in her hotel room at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in Hollywood, Florida on February 8. Paramedics rushed her to Memorial Regional Hospital where she was pronounced dead shortly after arrival. She was 39.

35. The poor women needs to be laid to rest and next to her son. All this other stuff will be handled in due time. I don't care what Stern put he was to her, just lay her to rest with her son. She may not have had it in writing but jeeezzz, the women bought 2 burial sites in the Bahamas, I don't think she was buying it for some stranger, and her actual intent was to be buried in Texas, that makes no sense.

•Anyone may order a Florida death certificate
•Limited Florida Deaths were recorded between the years of 1877 and 1917
•Cause of death becomes public information 50 years following the death. Prior to that time, cause of death is considered confidential by Florida law

38. No one loved her but her beloved son (may that wonderful person rest in peace)..and now beautiful daughter (Don't kill her Howard!), and maybe Larry B. HK$ deserves what he gets if there is ANY justice in this world!

41. Interesting since Howard claimed to KNOW her so well, that he put she had an 8th grade education. Guess he did not know much about her afterall.

42. It doesn't even show a place for cause of death. If there was a place for the cause of death they can put in unknown or under investigation. This is a fake

Anna to be Buried in the Bahamas

44. surely the 8th grade or less is wrong--isn't there a law saying a child must complete a certain number of years? i'm in georgia and there has been a law here for a long time and while i can't remember the age specified i believe it's 16 years of age. oh, and i too have never seen a death certificate without a space for cause of death. interesting
