Anna Nicole to exhume son and bring to States

Oct 31, 2006, 8:00 GMT

Anna Nicole Smith is set to have the body of her dead son Daniel exhumed.

The former Playboy playmate buried her son in the Bahamas on October 19, but now she is unlikely to be granted permanent residency in the country she may dig up Daniel's body to take back with her to the US.

A source is quoted by website MSNBC as saying: "She waited as long as she did to bury him because she was trying to figure out if she could get his body into the US.

"Now that she might get booted out, the word is she's going to take her son's body with her."

Anna Nicole, 38, has had her Bahaman residency challenged after it was revealed that the waterfront mansion she claimed to own actually belongs to someone else and she has been served with a notice of eviction.

It is alleged that the former model was hoping to make the Bahamas her permanent home to avoid a paternity test on her newborn daughter Dannielynn.

Anna Nicole has named her lawyer, and lover, Howard K. Stern as the father of her daughter but photographer Larry Birkhead claims he is the biological dad and has issued a court order demanding a paternity test.

Daniel died in September at Anna Nicole's hospital bedside just hours after she had given birth to his new half-sister. A toxicology report found large amounts of prescription drugs in his blood stream.
