Anna Nicole Smith Death Photos

Guide Note: In early October, 2008, tabloids reported the existence of a photo of the late Anna Nicole Smith, allegedly taken shortly after the celebrity's death of a drug overdose on February 8, 2007. The photo was allegedly being offered for sale to the highest bidder.

Almost simultaneously, a photo was released on the Internet showing a seemingly-unconscious Smith covered in vomit. According to the gossip site, I Dont Like You In That Way, which was reportedly contacted on October 2 by "a person close to Anna Nicole Smith," the photo was taken by Smith's companion Howard K. Stern a month before her death, and is therefore a hoax.
