Barely two-days before she was found dead in her hotel suite,
Anna Nicole Smith told a pal during a distraught phone call that she could no longer “go on”.
The pal revealed that the former Playboy pinup had been in a “terrible state” when she rang her friend, and was distraught.
"Anna was in a terrible state. She said, ‘I've given up—I can't go on,'" the News of the World quoted the friend, as saying.
The friend revealed that what made the call even more ominous was that Smith “seemed different”.
"You always knew with Anna that life was never simple. But this time she seemed different. And I was really afraid for her," the pal said.
"I kept saying, ‘Anna, babe, you are not going to do anything stupid. Anna, please be careful.'
"She said, ‘I will, honey, I will'. But I was seriously worried she didn't mean it this time. She'd been self-destructing for years with all the drugs she was taking. She wanted to die."
Smith’s pal also revealed that the model was on anti-depressants Xanax and Prozac plus slimming pills and strong pain-killers.
"She took the anti-depressants just so she could get up in a morning and she didn't always take them according to the directions. She'd just slug a couple down if she was getting anxious," the pal said.
"And she had a lot to be anxious about. Things had really started to pile down on top of her and physically her body had begun to act strangely. She'd complained of flushes and said her heart was all over the place—racing and then slowing.
"The doctors told her to stop taking the drugs to see if that stabilised things. She didn't though. She couldn't cope without them.
"In the last few weeks she'd become very withdrawn and quiet—almost childlike. She told me time and again that even though she had a new-born baby she had nothing to live for.
"She kept saying, ‘What is there for me? What is the point of going on?' I remember saying, ‘Come on—what about your baby? She needs you more than ever.' Anna said, ‘I know, I know. But it's hard'.
"I don't know if Anna committed suicide, but I do know that she wanted to die. I think maybe her body just said, ‘I've had enough'" the friend revealed.
Smith’s body is currently being kept at the Broward County Medical Examiner's Office.
