Smith Watch II.

According to this article, Anna Nicole Smith told a "friend" two days before she died that she simply couldn't "go on" anymore.

One onlooker said: "She just looked out of it. She was so unsteady on her feet she had to hold on to Howard. Everything looked a struggle for her."

She had flown in from the Bahamas and told hotel staff she was feeling "great" and asked if there were any events going on that she could attend.

But once up in her suite, surrounded by anti-depressants and —according to some US reports yesterday—narcotics, Anna's world of pain closed in on her.

She was still grieving over son Daniel, 20, who died of a drugs overdose last September three days after she gave birth to her daughter Dannielynn.

She had just been hit by a lawsuit claiming slimming pills she promoted were bogus. And the heiress, who has been battling for a share of her late oil baron husband J Howard Marshall's $1 billion estate, was facing paternity lawsuits over her baby daughter.

Could it be that Dannielynn's daddy is dead?

Anna Nicole Smith's death became even more bizarre than her life yesterday as a series of bombshell revelations uncovered an ever-growing web of sexual intrigue - including the startling claim that her late billionaire husband may be the father of her infant daughter.

The stunning disclosure comes in a no-holds-barred manuscript written by her half-sister Donna Hogan obtained exclusively by the Daily News.

Hogan alleges that her sister froze the sperm of 90-year-old J. Howard Marshall years ago, and believes she may have used it to become pregnant.
