Members R!ck Posted September 11, 2006 Members Share Posted September 11, 2006 Anna Nicole Smith's adult son dies in Bahamas 1 hour, 32 minutes ago LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - The 20-year-old son of Anna Nicole Smith died suddenly in the Bahamas on Sunday, three days after the former Playboy Playmate gave birth to a girl, Smith's attorney said. A statement from Howard K. Stern, Anna Nicole Smith's attorney, did not provide any details of Daniel Smith's death, and he declined to comment when contacted by Reuters. "We have yet to learn the cause of death but do not believe that drugs or alcohol were a factor," Stern said in the statement. "Anna Nicole is absolutely devastated by the loss of her son. He was her pride and joy and an amazing human being." Daniel Smith was in the Caribbean nation where his mother, 38, gave birth to a healthy girl on Thursday, Stern said. He appeared in "The Anna Nicole Show," a reality TV series that aired on the E! cable channel. Since being named Playboy's Playmate of the Year in 1993, the former Vicki Lynn Hogan from Mexia, Texas, has never been far from the public spotlight. In 1994, she married wheelchair-bound oil tycoon J. Marshall Howard, 89, after meeting him at a strip club. His death, after 14 months of marriage, triggered a legal battle over his estate between Smith and his son, E. Pierce Marshall. Earlier this year, she won a U.S. Supreme Court decision giving her another chance to collect millions of dollars. Pierce Marshall died in June. Smith has not said who fathered her second child.

Members Pest Spray Posted September 11, 2006 Members Share Posted September 11, 2006 What a tragedy! Condolances to his family. He was so young (only a year older than me), it really makes you think. That's gotta be tough. Giving birth and then just three days later, still in that new feeling, losing your son. Just awful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Bree Posted September 11, 2006 Members Share Posted September 11, 2006 Poor Anna Nicole. It's devastating that her son died so soon after she gave birth to her daughter. I have to say that all the stuff said about her, Daniel came off as a good guy who stayed out the limelight and out of trouble. She must have done something right in those 20 years...it's terrible.

Members Toadstool Posted September 11, 2006 Members Share Posted September 11, 2006 from Perez... information is still pouring in, this is the latest that is known about the sad loss of Daniel Smith in the Bahamas, just days after the birth of his new sister.. According to The Nassau Guardian: - Daniel Smith, son of the model and actress, reportedly suffered a "massive heart attack" on the maternity ward in Doctors Hospital. - According to [a] source, Daniel collapsed and died. The source added that his mother made an unsuccessful effort to revive her son. - While members of the press were rushed into the conference room, hospital staff hustled the baby out into a waiting van, while Anna Nicole Smith's lawyer, Howard K Stern, rushed to the hospital parking lot at the same time. - The new mother was never seen, as she was reportedly whisked out of a backdoor exit. Photos of the baby wrapped in a pink and white blanket could not be taken, as all cameramen were diverted into the hospital conference room. - Daniel's lifeless body was then taken away in a hearse through a side exit.

Members Pine Charles Posted September 11, 2006 Members Share Posted September 11, 2006 Very strange! I just read about this and was shocked. Very eerie that he would die so shortly after his mom gave birth. I always felt sorry for him. Anna Nicole is a good person deep down, but her crazy antics no doubt embarrassed the hell out of him. He seemed like a very sweet kid. Anna Nicole loved him very much and I feel very sad for her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
