Gotcha. And that makes sense...thanks.

when a person's death seems 'suspicious' or when there are unanswered question in regard to the death, a autopsy can be requested.

Also the intermediate family can ask for an autopsy to be performed when there are either unanswered questions or no questions at all in regards to the death.

Ho-lee ****. I don't know why I'm shocked over this, I just am! I'm sure the poor thing OD'd. As someone else mentioned, she is on methadone, and stockpiling enough could have done the job. I don't know all that much about her, but I imagine the death of her son and all of this crazy ass publicity just did her in. What a tragic story.

I think that in my state, autopsies are required for suspicious deaths and unattended deaths, except instances of clear medical reasoning. I don't think they autopsy elderly victims who die alone if there is a medical history unless the family makes the request. They might, but I don't think they do if the officers who respond cannot identify a crime scene or any indications of foul play. It's probably different state by state, and some places have better facilities that can perform autopsies faster. Here, it generally takes 3 days for instances of foul play. "Routine" autopsies tend to take longer. When my ex's sister OD'd alone, I know her autopsy was scheduled pretty quickly.

I'm a news-writer, so it's kind of a topic that affects me from time to time. Usually, the longest part of the process is waiting for all the family to be notified, and then an opening in the autopsy schedule.

Hey now... we're not all bad.

a family can request an autopsy immediately after death, which is what my brother and I decided when our Mother died. Let's say the doctor who did the original surgery wasnt happy with our request (He even checked "No autopsy performed" on the official record of death, when one was performed) - the other 2 surgeons who cared for Mom afterwards recommended an autopsy however.

My Mom died 1707 hours on Monday, the autopsy was before at 1230 on Tuesday. Very typical time for an autopsy performed on a person who died during a medical procedure or from a medical event.

In Oklahoma average time for autopsies in instances of "foul play" ranges from 1-3 days depending on availability of a M.E.

Final Footage of Anna Nicole Smith Sparks Bidding War
Thursday , February 08, 2007

By Sara Bonisteel

Footage of the final moments of Playboy Playmate Anna Nicole Smith's life sparked a media bidding war Thursday, with estimates already topping $250,000, FOXNews.com has learned.

Paparazzi agency Splash News & Picture Agency is peddling the videotape, which shows paramedics working on the unresponsive reality star as she was wheeled from the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in Hollywood, Fla., Thursday afternoon.

Emergency responders appear to administer CPR on two separate occasions as the TrimSpa spokeswoman was wheeled out of the hotel on a gurney, according to FOX News Channel producer Christopher Spinder, who viewed the footage at Splash's headquarters in Los Angeles.

"At one point they kind of started to look like they were going to put the gurney onto the ambulance and they kind of pulled the gurney back out a little bit so they could do a second administering of CPR," Spinder said.

Her companion and lawyer, Howard K. Stern, is not visible in the video.

The two-minute tape, shot from three different angles from a distance of about 50 feet, shows Smith's sheet-covered body, with an oxygen mask over her face, being taken out of the Hard Rock Hotel by a gaggle of emergency responders, including paramedics and police.

"You cannot see her face, you cannot see hair flowing out from underneath the mask," Spinder said. "Again if someone didn't tell me this was Anna Nicole Smith, I totally would not have known it. You can't even tell it's a woman."

The video shows footage of the ambulance driving away from the hotel under a police escort, then cuts to the ambulance at Memorial Regional Hospital just after 2 p.m. ET Thursday.

"You do not see the ambulance pull into the hospital, and you do not see the body come out of the back of the ambulance," Spinder said. "You just see the ambulance sitting there.

"One would assume that the cameraman got there after the body had already been unloaded from the ambulance and was already in the hospital at that point," he said.

Smith died at 2:45 p.m. at the age of 39. She is survived by a 4-month-old daughter, Dannielynn Hope Marshall. Her only son, Daniel Smith, died in the Bahamas in September, 18 days after her daughter was born.

And - I would sell it if I had taken it. May she rest in peace, but this woman lived her life before the cameras and used them to make money -- so, why shouldn't I do the same and as if she would object

King: Anna Nicole was 'genuine, special person'

LOS ANGELES, California (CNN) -- CNN's Larry King interviewed Anna Nicole Smith several times on his talk show and said the model and actress lived a short life but one worthy of being told in a feature film.

King talked with CNN anchor Wolf Blitzer on Thursday as news broke of Smith's death.

BLITZER: We're awaiting a news conference to emerge from that hospital in Hollywood, Florida, with some details. We don't know how many details, what they're going to say. But talk a little bit about this woman, Larry, that you've known. I know you're going to be doing a whole hour on this subject tonight.

KING: Yeah, thanks, Wolf. I've always liked Anna Nicole Smith. I first met her many years ago after the Playmate era where she was featured in Playboy. I liked her right away when I had her on the show. I went through the marriage to the elderly gentlemen [Texas oil baron J. Howard Marshall II], the weight gains up and down.

Always a special thing about her, even when she spoofed her on "Saturday Night Live."

She is an extraordinary pretty girl. The unusual thing is she did a painting that we have here in the house. She is kind of an amateur painter. I have an oil painting she has done here.

We've been involved recently in this contest over who fathered [her] little girl [Dannielynn Hope]. In fact, we have the lawyer for the gentleman here, Larry [Birkhead], who claims he is the father and we have [lawyer] Howard K. Stern claiming he is the father. Now we have a little girl who is kind of lost in all this. It's really, really, really sad, Wolf.

I think that, you know, she was a special person; she was an unusual person. She was genuine; she was funny; she had some class. I feel very, very sorry for everybody concerned, but mostly for that little girl.

BLITZER: And [Anna Nicole] went through a real, real personal tragedy with the loss of her grown son [Daniel]. Talk a little bit about that, Larry. Because it came almost around exactly the time of the birth of this little baby girl.

KING: I think it was a day and a half apart, and she loved her son. I met her son once when she came to our studios in L.A. He accompanied her. He was a good-looking boy, handsome young man. What tragedy befell this woman? Can you imagine to lose a boy right after you give birth to a girl? I couldn't fathom that. I could not fathom how she went on.

BLITZER: What do we know about the circumstances of her son?

KING: I think there was a question of a drug overdose. I don't know if it was ever clear because in -- they had a lot of problems with the autopsy and a lot of questions concerning what is the actual cause of the death, who was in the room. I know the story was he was at her bedside. Do you remember that, Wolf?

BLITZER: Right. I'm just reading here he was 20 years old, Daniel Smith and died suddenly on September 10, 2006, in his mother's hospital room while visiting her and his newborn sister. That happened in Nassau, Bahamas, back in September.

KING: Could you imagine anything sadder than that? I can't. I can't. I can't.

BLITZER: This followed several years of litigation involving the money, the millions, hundreds of millions of dollars that was left in the estate of her -- he was well into his 90s by the time he passed away, J. Howard Marshall.

KING: And we forget she won a historic Supreme Court case, turned her down from the bankruptcy court in Texas and the court 9-0, they haven't heard it yet. Well, maybe they've just heard it. Ruled in her favor.

The thinking was that she might have settled this before it went back to the Houston court and an enormous amount of money would have been coming her way.

BLITZER: She was only married to J. Howard Marshall for 14 months. She got married in '94. He passed away in 1995. But left the money, if not all of it, most of it to her as opposed to his other children.

KING: Correct. They are the one that filed the suit. They won in the lower court but [the Supreme Court] ruled in her favor and it went back and it's in Houston. I don't know if they've heard it yet in Houston, if there are settlement hearings, et cetera. What a story.

BLITZER: An amazing story. I know that you can bring some unique insight because you actually knew this woman who was born in very, very humble origins down in Texas and becomes a Playmate, a Playboy Playmate of the year in 1993 and then marries this very fabulously wealthy 89-year-old man.

KING: It's a story for the books. It's a story that will be written about and talked about. I imagine a major motion picture about it.
