Yes this is the claim. He stated that they have had a very lengthy relationship that they have not wanted to reveal as he is also her attorney. She has decided to name the child danni lynn hope rather than hannah. When he gave the details of the evening Daniel died it was very painful on this end...such a tragedy no mother should have to endure.

He set to rest a rumours...such as the vomiting/blood etc in the room (not true)...

The only comment I have found odd thus far, though he is obviously in distress at the moment, was when Howard said that Daniel offered Howard the other bed next to Anna because Daniel said he wasn't tired...yet soonafter Daniel stated "why am I so tired?"

Anyway...it is my hope the media blitz soon ends and they are allowed the privacy they need to grieve.

That was a something I did not see coming. Howard is the baby's daddy and her long time lover. Interesting.

I feel bad for them both, the pain was all over his face. I really hope Anna can get over this...she seems so fragile to begin with. I am undecided if I like the name..DannieLynn Hope. Its sweet but also a constant reminder that when she was born, her brother died. I liked the idea of Daniella though so...

I hope the media leaves her alone so she can lay her son to rest and get on with her life with her new daughter and Howard.

I was pretty surprised by that too. I don't even recall her being publicly affecitonate with him, so they hid it pretty well. I felt so bad for him tonight. He looks like he's aged 20 years in the last two weeks.

Sorry I missed the show, I was snoozing... but thanks for posting the update. I'm kind of shocked too, about Howard. I used to watch the Anna Nicole Show and she treated him like a DOG! Was that real or was that acting?

The thought has crossed my mind more than once whether Daniel's life with Anna was too much for HIS fragile being, so much that the birth of the baby was just too much for him and he expired. Didn't he have an underlying heart condition? I'm thinking it sounded like he had superventricular arrythmia is why he was hospitalized just prior to the baby being born. Didn't sound like he was on any medication for that and he should have been. My daughter has it and is on meds. When she runs out she has to be really calm and quiet, no stress or her heart will race. She's been to the ER once. Some people's lives are so wrought with distress, it's really sad.

Howard sort of denied Daniel had a heart condition. He claimed Daniel was hospitalized for about a week, the month prior to his death, for severe back pain and depression. He left the hospital with a script for Alexapro?, which is an antidepressant. So, I am not sure the reports that he had a heart condition were even accurate. I think Cyril Wecht did a second autopsy on the body and has come forward to say there was nothing wrong with his heart. I think they are still awaiting some test results though, especially toxicology.

Howard did look like he had aged so dramatically in the last two weeks....he seemed so drained and almost hopeless.

& yeah howard looked like this has taken it'd toll on him, i feel for all involved~ daniel looked pale to me~ i thought i read reports that when he was hospitalized a while back, it was for an elevated heartbeat, & it was for a week, he was released w/ the depression drugs & soon after anna had her daughter & daniel wanted to go see his mom & new sister real bad & left before the hospital could actually pinpoint why his heart was elevated

~ i can as a mother understand her wanting everything looked at tho as to why her seemingly healthy 20 yr just drops over dead~

I caught this as the credits were rolling. wonder if it's on youtube?

Howard is the daddy? omg.

but the guy that was reported to be the daddy was so cute. oh well, I had always wondered about Anna and Howard.

still one of the saddest stories, to me, in a long, long time.

bikerchic · #57 09-27-2006, 11:09 AM

Somethings fishy here? I'm not convinced he's the father. Him and Nicole may have decided to claim this for some reason. I haven't figured out why yet but Nicole is just wacky enough to do this. Howard is so close to Nicole and the baby and she kicked the other dude out of her life, so this will be better for her and the baby if Howard is the father. What really convinced me last nite in the interview was when Larry asked Howard "what's it like being a new dad?", Howards expression never even changed for a second. I mean he didn't even crack a smile. New dads faces usually light up when asked about their newborns. I know he is very distraught about Daniel but Daniel was not even his son. So I thought he might seem a little bit happy about his new daughter

This story has more twists and turns then most TV shows. I hope things turn out for Anna and her baby. Her pre-TrimSpa years were crazy, and from what I saw on her reality show it looked like Howard tried to keep her under control. I hope they can all have a semi normal life in the Bahamas. I think it would be a lot harder for them to have to live here in the US.

hayley · #59 09-27-2006, 11:14 AM

I don't think it makes a difference in Howard's grief just because Daniel isn't his kid. If you watched the E show, you could see just how big a part Howard was in Anna's life, and in turn Daniel's. Do parents of adopted children grieve less because they're not their natural children? In the same respect, if he IS in a relationship with Anna, then I can imagine that he's trashed not just by Daniel's death but by Anna's situation. It seems to be completely overwhelming.

I was shocked to read this this morning! I've always liked Anna and her crazy, and always was glad that it seemed like someone was looking out for her.

The death of Anna Nicole Smith's 20-year-old son Daniel was caused by a lethal combination of methadone, Zoloft and Lexapro, pathologist Cyril Wecht has revealed to PEOPLE exclusively.

Wecht said the drugs caused the cardiac dysrhythmia that led to Daniel's death. Wecht got the toxicology results from National Medical Services in Willow Grove, Pa., today.

Daniel Smith died in his mother's hospital room Sept. 10 while visiting her in the Bahamas three days after she gave birth to a baby girl named Dannielynn Hope.

Smith's longtime lawyer, Howard K. Stern, revealed Tuesday that he is the father of the little girl.

On Sept. 9, Daniel Smith arrived in Nassau to see his mother, with whom he'd always been extremely close. The family, including his newborn sister, spent time bonding in the hospital room that night. Daniel was seen tending to his mother around 6:20 a.m. on Sept. 10 – but at 9:38 a.m. that day Anna Nicole woke up to find her son unresponsive.

Doctors were immediately summoned and tried for 22 minutes to revive Daniel without success. He was pronounced dead at 10:05 a.m.

Days after Daniel's death Anna Nicole's Bahamian attorney, Michael Scott, described her as "overwhelmed" by grief. "She's trying to come to grips with the depths of her despair," he said.

Stern, who appeared on Larry King Live Tuesday, said Anna Nicole's baby daughter is "the one thing that is really keeping her going.

"Through it all, even with all the pain, she has been a great mom, a very attentive mom," he said.
