Dubai: Anna Nicole Smith was planning to visit Dubai three days before her death to rehabilitate from drug dependence, a US-based news website has reported.
Smith would have been brought to Dubai by her lawyer and lover, Howard K. Stern, to help her avoid drugs, reported the Fox News website on Sunday.
The report quotes an unidentified source in Dubai who was arranging for Smith's move to Dubai. "Howard knew she was around drugs all the time and wanted to bring her to a place where there aren't any ... We couldn't believe it. We thought they were coming here. It's very sad."
The website report also says that the source claims that the Sultan of Brunei was asked to help bring Smith to Dubai.
Smith was found dead in a Florida hotel room recently. Three men are claiming to have fathered her five-month-old daughter, one of whom is Stern, who Smith claimed was the biological father. The cause of her death is unknown.
Smith married then 89-year-old billionaire, J. Howard Marshall, in 1994, who died 13 months later, leaving her battling his family for his fortunes for almost 10 years.
Gulf News contacted Fox News last night for further details but got no response.
