Wow, I'm just surprised that I never put 2 & 2 together. And now that I think about it, I guess I never heard his last name mentioned before .

Anna's mystery guest

Inquest set in son's 'suspicious' death

BY MICHELLE CARUSO
DAILY NEWS WEST COAST BUREAU CHIEF


Anna Nicole Smith

The mystery shrouding the death of Anna Nicole Smith's son heightened yesterday as Bahamian authorities called it "suspicious" and confirmed a third person was in the room when the 20-year-old dropped dead.

Coroner Linda Virgill ordered an inquest next month to determine how Daniel Smith died and who may be responsible. It could lead to criminal charges.

Daniel Smith died Sunday morning in his 38-year-old mom's maternity ward room at Doctors Hospital in Nassau, the Bahamas, three days after she gave birth to a girl.

The coroner's move followed a bombshell report in The Tribune, a Bahamian newspaper, that other hospital patients overheard Anna Nicole Smith "screaming loudly and blaming someone" for her son's collapse about 9 a.m. - 38 minutes before hospital officials say a nurse was called to the room and attempts were made to revive Daniel.

The ex-reality show star was heard screaming, "You caused this!" to the third person who was present in the room, The Tribune reported.

Police and the coroner refused to identify the third person in the former Playboy model's room, but they said it was not a member of the hospital's staff.

The person was "a male" described as a "boyfriend" of Anna Nicole Smith's, a Bahamian source told the Daily News, but it was not her ex-flame Larry Birkhead, who says he is the father of her baby.

But Michael Scott, an attorney for Anna Nicole Smith, said the third person in the hospital room was Howard K. Stern, another Smith lawyer.

Scott said both Stern and Anna Nicole tried desperately to revive Daniel, even after doctors had pronounced him dead. The bereaved mother was so distraught that she had to be sedated, Scott said.

"The devastation and grief over Daniel's sudden death coupled with the sedation has been so extreme that Anna Nicole experienced memory loss of the event," he said.

Stern could not be reached for comment.

A possible overdose was suspected in Daniel Smith's death, sources said. But no illegal drugs or paraphernalia were found on his body or at the scene, according to Reginald Ferguson, assistant commissioner of the Royal Bahamian Police Force.

The body had no apparent physical injuries, and an autopsy ruled out heart attack and other natural causes of death, Virgill said.

Toxicology reports, which would show any levels of drugs, alcohol or toxins in the body, will not be released until the inquest, which is set to begin Oct. 23, Virgill said. During the inquest, witnesses - including Anna Nicole Smith - will testify in court under oath before a jury.

If the jury finds that a crime took place, the case will be referred to the attorney general for possible prosecution, authorities said.

I hope this isn't true. 38 minutes is a long time to wait to request medical assistance anywhere, never mind in a hospital!

I seem to recall quite some time ago Anna making a reference to him being sickly as a child wherein they didn't think he was going to make it and she considered him her miracle angel It is sad that he died in such a shocking, unexpected way, but I do hope it isn't due to dope or foul play.

Jeez..it just gets weirder and weirder. Poor Anna, I am sure she is in no shape to be taking care of a newborn.

I heard she called the baby Hannah. I thought that was kinda cute. Hannah and Anna. I thought she might call her Danielle after Daniel.

Looks like the news channels will have a juicy case to talk about again.

FROM DLISTED: Gawker is reporting that Getty Images has sent out an email to all celebrity weekly magazines claiming they have 17 images of Daniel Smith's last moments with his mother, Anna Nicole Smith.

FROM GAWKER: Fire Sale: Anna Nicole Smith's Last Moments With Her Son
Before all the inevitably ugly details surrounding the death of Anna Nicole Smith's son, Daniel -- who was found dead in Anna Nicole's hospital room on Sunday morning, just three days after she gave birth to her new daughter -- emerge with the autopsy and toxicology reports, why not cash in? Getty Images has sent an email to celebrity weekly editors saying they have 17 pictures of Anna Nicole, Daniel and the new baby, taken in the hospital the day before Daniel died. Preview images show Anna Nicole and Daniel in the hospital bed, with Daniel smiling and holding the baby; Daniel standing up, cradling the baby; and Anna Nicole holding the baby while her lawyer and BFF, Howard K. Stern, leans in with them.

How much might one pay for these tender, macabre moments? Getty is asking for $200K, but the email has a disclaimer of "NO NEGATIVE PRESS." For that, you've got to drop an extra hundred grand.

Update: We're hearing that Life & Style won a bidding war, shelling out $375K for the pics. Who knew the mag even had that kind of money?

So how long after these were taken did he die?

[bikerchic]

I think a couple of days. The baby was born on the 7th, he died on the 10th (I think).
