Drug overdose?

I'm sure it is, they're not saying until an autopsy is done.
 
She was going through some hard times...
 
Still no reason...
 
What a strange life she had. ...too bad.
 
Did they ever find out what killed her son? Maybe she took the same stuff...
 
According to the article I read, her son died from a lethal dose of methadone and antidepressants.

I guess the Trimspa worked too well.

What did she actually do? The name rings a bell but I can't think what she actually did
for her 15 minutes.

She slept with an oil billionaire who was about to die and took his money. Basically, she was a prostitute.

Oh dear my world has been turned upside down. Probably an OD.

Basically, yes. But on the other hand, she just used what 'god gave her'.

What she did is fine if the law is fine. If there is a problem with it, the law has the problem.
 
  • #22
She made choices - she experienced, perhaps suffered, the consequences of those choices.

She leaves behind a 6 month daughter (b. Sep 7, 2006), ostensibly fathered with Howark K. Stern, her former attorney and common-law husband. Apparently there is a paternity suit filed by a former boyfriend.

That pretty much sums up my thoughts..

She's probably the single most useless human being to ever be on TV. Have any of you seen her reality show? It basically consisted of a drunk, drugged-up Smith stumbling around, stuffing her face, and whining to her assistants when she couldn't get something she wanted. If she didn't have millions of disputed dollars and big boobs she would have been ignored years ago.

Her original claim to fame was as the Guess Jeans girl. Back then, I have to admit, she was a very beautiful woman. Too bad her life was so screwed up.

Don't get me started on her TV show. The people that paid for and produced that show should be hung, drawn and quartered. Talk about the closing of the American mind. Pathetic.

On a side note. I did read an article surrounding the law suits against her and Trimspa. It went into detail of what her "diet" really was like. It was not healthy at all. I wouldn't be surprised if that also had something to do with her death.

She was very pretty at the time, and her popularity with the men probably played a large part in getting Playboy to feature a "big" girl.

Call me shallow. I thought she was fun to look at and that was worth something in itself. Just a beautiful, beautiful girl. Too bad she made so many crappy choices in her life.
