MEXIA, Texas - Family and friends gathered at a church in this small town to mourn Anna Nicole Smith's 20-year-old son Daniel, who died last month while visiting his mother in the Bahamas after she gave birth to a daughter.
About 50 people attended the hourlong memorial service Saturday at First Baptist Church of Mexia for the son of the former Playboy Playmate and reality television star and her former husband Billy Smith, who still lives in Mexia.
Billy Smith looked grief-stricken during and after the service, the Waco Tribune-Herald reported. Anna Nicole Smith did not attend and Daniel's body was not brought to Mexia for the service.
Most relatives hadn't seen Daniel in years, but they recalled that when he was a child he liked to wear cowboy apparel and ride horses in this town of about 6,000 people, some 85 miles south of Dallas. Cousins recalled playing Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles with him, and full-size cutouts of the cartoon characters lined the front of the church, the newspaper said.
Daniel Smith died Sept. 10 in his mother's hospital room in the Bahamas. According to a private autopsy, he died of an accidental combination of methadone and two antidepressants.
Anna Nicole and Bill Smith married in 1985 and divorced two years later. She married Texas oil tycoon J. Howard Marshall II in 1994, when she was 26 and he was 89. Marshall died the following year.__________________

Anna will FINALLY bury Daniel!!!

Source: D-Listed

Anna Nicole Smith will bury her son, Daniel Smith, in the Bahamas today after 39 days since his death. ET reports that he will be buried in an intimate service at the Lake View cemetery wearing a trucker cap, t-shirt and blue jeans . This outfit was apparently his favorite.

Anna will wear a black dress designed for her by the same person who designed her wedding dress for her wedding to Howard K. Stern.

Daniel was found dead over a month ago in his mother's hospital room following the birth of his sister, Danielynn.

Finally! I guess Anna is looking to stay in the Bahamas indefinitely. I won't even comment on the trucker cap.

Anna Nicole Smith wailed and screamed loudly as she buried her son Daniel in the Bahamas Thursday, nearly six weeks after he died from a drug overdose.

A gold hearse brought Daniel's body to the cemetery attended by 20 people, including the CEO of TrimSpa, a diet pill company that employs Anna as its spokesperson. The ceremony featured an open casket. According to one source Daniel was buried in jeans, a t-shirt and a baseball hat with another hat - bearing the iconic Nike swoosh - by his side. A source from WENN news service, who had seen a picture of the body in the open casket, said the body appeared quite bloated.

At least six police officers guarded the main entrance to the cemetery, barring everyone except for invited guests. According to witnesses, the loud wails and cries of Anna could be heard across the street from the burial site.

Daniel died in the Bahamas September 10th while visiting his mother just days after she delivered a baby girl.

TMZ has obtained a copy of the death certificatefor the late son of Anna Nicole Smith.

While the certificate says an official cause for death is still "pending chemical analysis" for 20-year-old Daniel Wayne Smith, two separate sources close to the official Bahamian investigation confirmed the existence of three separate drugs in Daniel's bloodstream -- the same drugs found last week by Anna Nicole's private pathologist Dr. Cyril Wecht.

From Teddy & Moo via court tv

Anna Nicole Smith’s son may have had up to seven different drugs in his system at the time of his death, Court TV has learned.
Daniel Smith, 20, died Sept. 10 in the Bahamian hospital where his mother had given birth four days earlier. Both a private autopsy as well as an autopsy ordered by Bahamas officials had indicated the young man died as a result of a fatal mixture of three prescription drugs.
But Court TV correspondent Michel Bryant has learned from a source connected to the official investigation that there was also evidence of four additional prescription drugs, causing a lethal combination.
Toxicology reports now being reviewed by Bahamian law enforcement showed the drugs to be eight times the lethal dose, although the results of this review have not been released, Bryant’s source said.
The 38-year-old former Playmate commissioned a private autopsy from American forensic pathologist Cyril Wecht, who found antidepressants Zoloft and Lexapro, as well as methadone. Though methadone is commonly used by recovering drug addicts, it is also prescribed as a pain reliever.
Wecht said he believed Smith’s death to be an accidental overdose. The Royal Bahamas Police Force said its findings mirrored those of the private autopsy.
Wecht has performed analysis in many high-profile cases, such as those of JonBenet Ramsey, Jayson Williams and Amadou Diallo. He was indicted by a federal grand jury in January on charges that he misused his position as medical examiner of Allegheny County, Pa., for private gain. The 84-count indictment alleged he traded unclaimed cadavers for lab space for his private practice. He is awaiting trial.-court tv​

Anna is doing her first interview w/ ET on 11-02....
though I think it was taped before this latest news so it won't be discussed.
She got paid I heard....
she is making so much money off of this terrible ordeal!!

 

[misssakura]

I dont' think it diminishes how much she loved him though...

Plus if I die, my parents automatically get life insurance paid out. So even they'd profit from my death. Makes ya think.

 

[brokenenglish]

^ That's totally different, IMO.
She started out asking for privacy during this difficult time but she has been selling pics left and right and is now giving an interview....

 

[misssakura]

She sounds drugged up to me. Also, you don't know how much of this the publicist is doing...it all sounds too bizarre.

 

[brokenenglish]

I think Howard K Stern is pulling all her strings right now....
I feel bad for her, but also think she is a really messed up woman.

 

[cosmogrl5]

Just a reminder, the interview with ET is on tonight. I am very curious (although I do not believe a word she says these days....and can't really understand a word she says either!).

This picture leaves no question in my mind as to what killed him. Poor guy. Besides, it appears that he's not the only one taking a risk. That lawyer Howard on Larry King:

The Anna Nicole Saga continues

From Teddy & Moo ( they got it from TMZ.com)

The real father of Anna Nicole’s baby has been unmasked, and Anna Nicole’s drug use exposed, according to a sworn declaration obtained by TMZ.
In sealed court documents filed Thursday in Los Angeles County Superior Court, Laurie Payne, a woman who spent considerable time with Anna Nicole during her pregnancy, claims that the former Playboy Playmate confessed to her in phone calls and instant messages that Larry Birkhead is the father of her baby girl.
In her declaration, Payne, who signed the document under penalty of perjury, adds that Smith told her that, prior to her pregnancy with Dannielynn, she miscarried an unborn baby, also fathered by Birkhead.
Payne alleges in her declaration that Anna Nicole was taking methadone and Xanax in May, 2006, during her pregnancy. She says that she actually administered pills to Smith from a bottle marked “Methadone” and that she “personally observed” Smith taking “a rather high dose of Xanax” around the same time. Smith’s son Daniel is believed to have had a lethal combination of methadone, in addition to prescription anti-depressants in his system when he died Sept. 10.
Payne, who lives in Myrtle Beach, SC, says that she met Smith in July, 2005 in the Florida Keys, where they spent “several days” with their mutual friend, South Carolina real estate developer G. Ben Thompson. Payne adds that she also spent considerable time with Smith in Myrtle Beach and in the Florida Keys in November and December 2005, and from May-July 2006.
In an e-mail Smith sent to Payne, which is attached to Payne’s declaration, Anna Nicole seems to say she had sex a total of three times with only two people during the time of conception: “well one of two people once in dec and twice in jan…………you do the math but I hear someone cant do what has been done.” TMZ has confirmed Thompson told Anna Nicole last May that he couldn’t be the father because he had a vasectomy, thus the comment, “someone cant do what has been done.”
As for Howard K. Stern, Smith’s lawyer who is listed as the baby’s father on her birth certificate, Payne says Anna Nicole Smith herself said he wasn’t the father. Payne says in her declaration: “I asked her why she did not just go into a relationship with Stern, to which (Anna Nicole) responded, ‘EWWW…GROSS!!! No way!! I would never!’”
According to the declaration, during Christmas, 2005, Stern began to tease Anna Nicole’s son Daniel “about being a 19-year-old virgin.” Payne says, “….Daniel looked at Stern and stated, ‘I don’t know why you’re worried about me, you’ve been around my mother for 12 years and haven’t had any p*ssy either.”
As for Larry Birkhead, Payne claims in the declaration that he and Anna Nicole had a “love hate relationship” and she would refer to Mr. Birkhead as, “the a**hole” in our discussions about this fact.” In the e-mail, Smith is on a rant against a person who appears to be the Kentucky-bred Birkhead: “I just want to be happy and that lil f..k wont leave me alone and treats me like s..t in front of his friends it has always been them over me, when hes in Kentucky….”
Smith indicates in the e-mail that she’s hard up for money: “I cant work now so im pretty much f….d for a bit!…..sure counting on the court to give me my money….cause all I want to do is move from this house and get a better one and just star over!….and to boot Ive gained 30 pounds im horrified.!”-tmz.com​

This whole thing is getting crazy...
