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.

796. Why does TMZ want to keep exploit Anna Nicole's death, especially when your the only one that seems to get certain information. It makes TMZ unbelievable and not credible. I do not believe anything that you report or say, especially Harvey Levin. I find it interesting that Harvey is quick to make ridiculous statements and acts as though he knows what went on in Anna's life. I also find it interesting that nobody ever calls Larry Birkhaead out. For instance, if you recall his only income was taking pictures of Anna Nicole and therefore when Anna moved to the Bahamas their went his income and where is he getting his money. I saw him do an exclusive interview with Access Hollywood, did he get paid? And if everyone is so interested in timelines, I have one for you. Dannielyn was born on Sept. 7, and me being a mother I know that a full term pregnacy is 40 weeks, and even if Dannielyn was 2 weeks earlier she would of HAD to have been conceived in the middle of December, when Larry and Anna were not together. So I wish people would stop listening to what the media throws out there and remember that heresay has no relevence, only the facts can prove the truth.

797. Poor Anna and Danny. I hope they are resting in pease, and that Dannielynn with soon be safe with her real daddy. I have a question that I hope will be forwarded to her dressers/make-up artists.. Everyone always heard that Chanel # 5 was Marilyn Monroes fovorite perfume. What was Anna's favorite scent, also what type of skin care and make up did she employ? Just wondering. Hope this gets answered by someone who knows.

800. It is extremely cruel that this poor women is dead and NOW everyone has all this negative stuff to say. If they were so concerned about her as a mother, why didn't someone say something while she was still able to be a mother? Howard did this for the money so they need to go after him and leave her alone now!

803. I hope I'm right that Howard is the good guy... I'm so sick of everyone putting him down. And I hope after doing the home studies they realize Virgie the pigg of a mother can't afford shit and is she even married or was that a lie too. Somedays you see her with a ring on and other days no...And do the math I think she got pregnant around the end of jan or first of feb....so it can't be Larry's they wer'ent even together. I feel Howard is the only one that loved her and has been with her through thick and thin. And I have a only child also and If he died I would die with him so yes I believe she died of a broken heart...

804. Man this is some sad shit . I just pray that the father is Larry and that he gets the baby. Whats sad is that everyone is worried about how Anna died, which dont get me wrong is important. But whats more important is her daughter who is still living . they need to find a good home for that poor child before her little life gets even more confusing than it already has been.I think its a sad storie but Anna was on drugs you could tell from all her interviews, so even if she was alive still, i think someone should have done something for the little baby. no child deserves to live with a drug user as a parent wether that parent is famous or not! I dont have nothing against Anna its sad that her life had to end at such a young age and when she had just started a new life but she is the one who chose her lifestyle and you cant keep putting the blame of her death on everyone else.
She didnt have to be with H K S, She chose to be and that may just be why she is no longer here to raise her little baby girl its sad....
I know this may piss alot of people off but its all true! I do have a soft spot for Anna and i wish she could have realized that H K S was a creep before it was to late cause the one who will suffer is the lil one . she now has to live in a world full of questions about her mother. questions that need to be laid to rest. so I hope and pray this is all taken care of soon so that her beautiful little girl can go on to live a happier life than her poor mom had to .

805. she might not be educated, but she had enough brains to get what she wanted out of life. i also viewed the so called "death certificate", and it didn't list a cause of death. isn't that mandatory? speaking of which, does anyone know exactly what the cause of death was? i heard a few weeks back that it was to announced to the public. i haven't heard a thing. i have nothing bad to say about her. she knew what she wanted, and she went for it. don't judge lest ye be judged.

807. There is more than Stern mixed up in this mess. Take the money away and they would all go away. No one is questioning Trimspa for instance, losing all that weight may not have been healthy. That so-called "loving mother-grandmother" Did anyone notice the smirk on her face while in court. She could get her hands on the money and kick the baby out or neglect her. She should not get near the baby. I think the baby should be made a ward of the court,a guardian appointed and let a good family raise her that would give her love and let her grwo up normal. Life is going to be hard for her.
All these so-called friends are as guilty as anyone else, why did they not call for an intervention and see that she got help and off drugs. No, it is just easier to sit back do nothing and blame someone else.
Ben Thomoson and his son-in-law want Howard out so they can sell that house for ten times what it's worth.
Birkheazd is so positive that he is the father and behaving so cocky, it will be a big belly laugh if he is proven not to be the father ane the Humgarian Prince is. or Sern.
What a bizzare mess. even the best Holllywood writer could not dream up one this good.

I think some of the blaming Howard , he is being used as a scapegoat. He could have been giving her the pills only as prescribed. Wowee, I bet there is a big surprise at the end, one never suspected by anyone.

808. I just heard Anna died from a blood infection from dirty needles. Howard needs to go to jail. It all makes sense now, because the ME wanted to know if they used alcohol before injections. 3-23-07

809. 1. I think the official cause of death announced on Monday will be SUICIDE, overdose by chloryl hydrate; the identical drug that Marilyn Monroe died of an overdose.

Seperately, Anna Nicole Smith's diaries sold on eBay for $500,000-the winning bidder must also be on drugs. It's pitiful.

Highlights from this very personal and private document:

1. "I hate sex"

2. Anna Nicole wrote that she cheated on her late octogenarian husband, Texas oil tycoon J. Howard Marshall II. surprise?

3. She also writes that "I wait each hour to comfort him with medicines and prayers."

4."I hate for men to want sex all the time"

5. "I follow my own star"

Was this diary stolen? How could eBay allow the item to be listed? As with everything in this case; follow the money($$$,$$$,$$$).

Perhaps Howard K. Stern sold it to Thomas Riccio of Universal Rarities, the California memorabilia house that facilitated the auction of the diaries. Maybe it was Anna's mother Angie? I think she is a lovely person. Not!

I feel very sorry for Anna Nicole Smith. She spent most of her life smiling with beauty on the inside, while crying on the inside. She was a survivor until she could no longer survive.

Depression sufferers also do what they can to survive, while smiling on the outside and struggling with hopelessness and despair on the inside.

810. well, i really don't think howard k did drugs, but as for his "blood shot eyes", lack of sleep, crying, and stress could be the culprit. also, i don't think that "report" was real. howard would have listed himself as a "significant other." don't ya think?

i will say that i was shocked at the cause of her death. i had a blood infection, and really thought i had to flu. i was delirous, couldn't remember anything, didn't know what was going on, had a really high fever, and had it not been for family members, i don't think i would be here today. yes, i did take sleep aids, to sleep off "this flu", and thank
God my sister marched into my doctor's office, and demanded to speak with this doctor/surgeon, telling the doc how sick i was. this doc then called me, and told me to get to the er. my blood infection, to make this short, took up an "eight inch" stretch inside of my body, and they had to surgically drain the poison out of this "pocket". sorry it's so gross, but...that's my infection story. (TRUE STORY)

bye the way, maybe anna wasn't very educated, but she was intelligent. there is a difference, and she never sounded "stupid" to me. that "ditzy" character was all play for her persona, in my opinion.
gotta run,
me
