Just the day before Anna’s death, a judge in Los Angeles had set a deadline of February 21 for a DNA test to determine the baby’s paternity.

During a press conference Thursday afternoon, Seminole, Florida police chief CHARLIE TIGER provided additional details on Anna Nicole’s passing.

“At approximately 1:45 p.m. today, police responded to the Hard Rock Hotel in response to a person needing medical attention,” said Tiger. “She was later identified as Anna Nicole and transported to Hollywood Memorial Hospital.”

“At 2:49 this afternoon, we were advised by hospital personnel that Anna Nicole had died,” added Tiger.

Tiger also told reporters that a bodyguard was with Anna Nicole in the hotel room, and that a female private nurse, who was also in the room, was the one who called the hospital operator, “who had 911 access.”

The police chief went on to say that the cause of Anna Nicole’s death will be determined by a medical examiner and that the Seminole police are continuing its investigation.

Sources tell us that Anna Nicole checked into the Hard Rock Hotel on Monday night around 8 p.m. and had traveled to South Florida to pick up a boat she had purchased for her home in the Bahamas. She was set to check out of the hotel on Friday night.

She began suffering from flu-like symptoms shortly after check-in, but her fever had broken by Wednesday. That afternoon, she fell and hit her head in the bathroom, but she said she felt fine, ate and went back to bed.

On Thursday, she laid down to take a nap, and after she didn’t wake up a few hours later, she was checked on and was unresponsive, her eyes dilated.

At 1:38 p.m. a female private nurse, who was the only person in Anna Nicole’s room, called the front desk for help, and at 1:45 the Seminole Police Department was called. A bodyguard arrived at the room and administered CPR to Anna Nicole.

At approximately 2 p.m., Anna Nicole was taken to Memorial Hospital, and at 2:49 p.m., police were notified that Anna Nicole had died. The cause of death is yet to be determined, and an autopsy is set to be performed tomorrow to determine the cause of death.

Anna Nicole’s partner, HOWARD K. STERN, tells “The Insider” that her temperature was running high last night.

Her half-sister, DONNA HOGAN, released this statement on behalf of her family on Thursday afternoon: “We are saddened and heartbroken by my sister’s death. No matter what our differences have been over the years, Anna was still our blood and she will be missed terribly. She was a woman who was determined to get out of her small town in Texas and make a name for herself.”

“She became an international star and she was a good mother to Daniel; there is no doubt that her son loved her. They lived out of each other’s pockets while he was alive and now they can finally be together again in Heaven.”

“We feel that the death of her son left her deeply saddened, a sadness she hid from everyone. As a mother of three children, I am anguished by this tragic event and the fact that her new baby daughter Dannielynn Hope is now without a mother.”

TRIMSPA, for which Anna Nicole was a spokeperson, also released a statement: “Anna knew both the joy of giving life, and the heartache of losing a child. We pray that she is granted the peace that eluded her more recent days on earth, and that she finds comfort in the presence of her son, Daniel.”. . . . .Source: TheInsiderOnline
