Second probe sought into death of star's son (Roundup)

Sep 15, 2006, 18:43 GMT

Los Angeles - Authorities in the Bahamas have given the go ahead for a second autopsy of Daniel Wayne Smith, the 20-year-old son of former Playboy model Anna Nicole Smith, according to news reports on Friday.

Smith was found dead in his mother's hospital room Monday, just three days after she had given birth to a baby girl. The new autopsy will be conducted by an expert hired by the family.

An official autopsy was carried out Tuesday. Though the results were expected on Friday, they will remain secret until after the official inquiry is launched in October, authorities said.

Authorities have given no indication of what caused the death, but have said they believe that no foul play was involved and no drug paraphernalia were found in the room.

Anna Nicole Smith, 38, is a former Playmate of the Year and a reality TV star. She hit national headlines when she married oil tycoon J. Howard Marshall II in 1994, when she was 26 and he was 89. He died the following year - sparking a legal tussle over his estate between Smith and Marshall's son.

Daniel Smith was her son with Bill Smith, who married Anna Nicole in 1985 and divorced two years later.

Can't you people write about her sadness?Sep 15th, 2006 - 20:35:15

Must you always bring up her ongoing battle with her ex's family? Mourn for her and her son's unfortunate death. Everyone in the world knows she is a former this and that and ex husband to that old guy, so why inflame her son's memeory by repaeting her past over and over again, you people are 'sorry excuses for writers'

I wonder- was her son taking Trim Spa too? Maybe that stuff messed up his heart. I guess we must wait and hear the autopsy results. I feel sorry for the little girl- who is taking care of her? Anna doesn't seem like much of a mom, sorry Anna fans. Really not such a good role model, unless you love plastic surgery as a child.

So lessee; Anna Nichole Smith is there having a baby and her attorney is there and the new baby is the new heir of nearly half a billion US but for the existence of the poor 20 year old son who dies for unknown reasons. Is the father of the baby who is now the sole heir in the Bahamas. 20 year olds ordinarily do not just expire in the hospital. This is long playing tragedy playing out in the news. Great wealth coupled with superlative beauty can be a compound curse.

Anna Nicole has lost her child. She will never recover from this devastation. Whatever you thought of her in the past, leave it behind you. There is a saying 'Never speak ill of the dead' because the dead can no longer defend themselves. Anna Nicole can no longer defend herself because she has suffered the most fatal loss a human being will ever endure - the loss of a child. Be kind to her now, if you have an axe to grind - go pick on someone else who has the ability to fight back.
