Smith checked into the hotel Monday evening and was due to check out Friday, said Danielle Giordaano, a spokeswoman for Seminole Hard Rock Cafe Hotel and Casino. Officials said her baby was not with her, but she was accompanied by her husband and four others, including a nurse, Bloom said.
Seminole, Fla. Police Chief Charlie Tiger told reporters that Smith's personal nurse found Smith unconscious in her room at 1:39 p.m. ET. Police were called at 1:45 p.m. "for a person needing medical assistance," Tiger said. When police arrived, they found Smith, who was being given CPR by her bodyguard, he said.
Five minutes later hotel security and emergency medical technicians responded to her room and contacted local fire and rescue teams. Smith was taken to the hospital shortly after 2:10 p.m. She died at the hospital, Tiger said. Edwina Johnson, chief investigator of the Broward County Medical Examiner's Office, said the cause of death is under investigation and an autopsy will be done on Friday. (USA TODAY)
