Hardly 24 hours have passed since Anna Nicole Smith died at age 39 at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in Florida, and the gossip blogs that played such a prominent role in her feather-boa'd, tipsy trainwreck of a life are abuzz with conspiracy theories. Leading the pack is the Howard K. Stern-as-murderer angle. Perez Hilton helped get that one rolling. His commenters took it from there. Wrote one:

"It's so obvious HOWARD K STERN is responsible for Anna's son dying ... Her own Mother said as much.... Now he has doped-up Anna Nicole to cause her death so the only known person alive who knows his part in the sons death—would be gone as well so he can lay his hands on the multi millions from the Howard Marshall lawsuit. He is a liar, a manipulator, a scam artist and a MURDERER....HOWARD K STERN IS BEHIND ANA's [sic] DEATH...."

Over at Extra!'s blog, others asked: "What would you say Howard if you were told there was a camera in the hospital room the nite [sic] Daniel died?"

Meanwhile, tidbits are trickling in about what might have triggered her untimely demise ...

• Good Morning America: Anna's mom, Vergie Arthur, says: "I think she had too many drugs, just like Danny (Smith's late son). I tried to warn her about drugs and the people she hung around with. She didn't listen. She was too drugged up."

• CBS TV: Police found illegal and prescription narcotics in Smith's hotel room.

• Access Hollywood: Smith took a "children's sedative" and "kept passing out," according to a source, and actually died from choking on her own vomit.

More to come ...
