Why wait till Monday…

The reason for the death of Anna Nicole Smith (which is to be announced officially on Monday morning), is a Staphylococcus aureus infection in her bloodstream (septicemia), along with a drug overdose.

Backround:
Before she left the Bahamas for Florida on February 5, three days before she died, Anna Nicole received an injection in her left buttock. Tests did not reveal what that substance was. “As she boarded the plane for Miami, Anna Nicole developed a painful abscess at the site of the injection,” said a source with knowledge of the case. “The needle wasn’t sterile. The pain kept getting worse as the abscess got larger and larger very quickly.” From Miami, Anna Nicole and her live-in lawyer Howard K. Stern traveled to Hollywood, Fla. The pain from the abscess became excruciating and Anna Nicole developed a high fever. By the time she got to the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino her fever was 105. Anna Nicole, unaware that her blood was being poisoned by infection, had also developed a second infection from a virulent form of norovirus, which causes intestinal problems. It was at this point that Anna Nicole — and her entourage — made a fatal mistake. She refused to go to a hospital, a decision that would have saved her life. Instead, Anna’s people gave her an ice bath to control the fever, administered the antibiotic ciprofloxacin by mouth and gave her an over-the-counter flu medicine. As the needle-caused infection took over her body, she began vomiting, had severe diarrhea and could not urinate. On February 6, a Tuesday, Anna spent the whole day in bed. She could not keep fluids down. She was becoming severely dehydrated. On Wednesday, February 7, Anna seemed somewhat better, but she wasn’t, the source said.

RIP: Robert Petersen

Robert E. Petersen, the publishing magnate whose Hot Rod and Motor Trend magazines helped shape America’s car culture and who gave millions to a museum dedicated to his passion, has died. He was 80.

Petersen died Friday of complications from neuroendocrine cancer at St. John’s Health Center in Santa Monica, said Dick Messer, director of the Petersen Automotive Museum in Los Angeles.

“Mr. Petersen helped create and feed the American obsession with the automobile, delivering gasoline-powered dreams to the mailboxes of millions,” Messer said.

Petersen, the son of an auto mechanic, founded Hot Rod magazine in 1948 while trying to promote the custom-designed car show at the Los Angeles Armory. The following year, he launched Motor Trend for automobile enthusiasts.

A dozen other specialty consumer magazines followed, including Guns & Ammo, Sport, Motorcyclist, Hunting, Mountain Biker, Photographic, Teen and Sassy.

By the time his publishing empire was sold in 1996, Petersen Publishing’s annual revenue was about $275 million.

Some of the magazines Petersen started reflected his other interests, including sport shooting, aviation and real estate. But it was his love of cars that prompted his involvement with Los Angeles’ shrine to the automobile.

The Petersen Automotive Museum opened in 1994, showcasing dozens of cars and exploring the automobile’s impact on American culture.

When the museum, operated by the Los Angeles County Museum of Natural History, ran into financial trouble in 1999, Petersen and his wife, Margie, donated $25 million to pay off its debt.

“Our intention is the ensure that the museum is a viable educational and social center, a growing institution for the community, its children, businesses and all visitors to the city of Los Angeles,” Petersen told The Associated Press at the time.

Petersen is survived by his wife. A funeral is planned for Thursday at Holy Cross Cemetery in Culver City.
