(CBS) -- (CBS) A lawyer for model and actress Anna Nicole Smith says she is dead Thursday afternoon after being found unconscious at a Florida hotel.
WFOR-TV in Miami first reported that Smith had been found unresponsive in her hotel room Thursday at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in Hollywood, Fla.
Smith, 39, was reportedly taken to Memorial Regional Hospital in Hollywood Florida. Officials there told the Miami Herald, "It does not look good."
A spokesman from the fire department told CNN that a call was received after 2 p.m.
Witnesses told CNN that they performed CPR on Smith and that an intubation tube was put down her throat.
