Anna Nicole Smith's Son Killed?

Anna Nicole Smith is "overwhelmed" by the suspicious sudden death of her
son.
The former Playboy Playmate has had to be sedated after 20-year-old Daniel
was found dead in her hospital room in the Bahamas on Sunday (10.09.06).

Her attorney, Michael Scott, confirmed: "She is overwhelmed as you would
expect of any parent who has sustained this kind of loss."
On Wednesday (13.09.06), medical experts in the Bahamas revealed Daniel
might have been killed.
Just days after saying foul play was not suspected, they revealed they now
believe Daniel Smith's death is "suspicious" and could lead to criminal
charges being filed.
Bradley Neely, the chief inspector of the Bahamas coroner's office
confirmed: "Whenever there is a suspicious death we would have an inquest to
determine how the person died."
Scott also revealed that Anna Nicole is so traumatized by the tragedy that
she can't remember what happened.
He said: "The devastation and grief over Daniel's sudden death coupled with
the sedation has been so extreme that Anna Nicole experienced memory loss of
the event.
"She was so distraught at the loss of Daniel that she refused to leave his
side, and it was necessary to sedate her in order to check her out of the
hospital."

Scott also called media reports that Daniel had antidepressants of other drugs in his system "sheer speculation. It's irresponsible speculation, may I point out."

Reginald Ferguson, assistant commissioner of the Royal Bahamas Police Force, told the AP that no drug paraphernalia or traces of illegal drugs were found on Daniel, in the hospital room or near the room, and that police believe he'd gone directly to Doctors Hospital after arriving in the Bahamas.

Now the National Enquirer is reporting that a private pathologist from the United States is expected to perform a second autopsy on Daniel Wayne Smith.
"It is nothing unusual for families to want their own pathologist to confirm or look for something that may have been overlooked" in the autopsy, according to head coroner Linda Virgill in the Bahamas.

The Smith family's pathologist will arrive on Saturday and will perform the autopsy on Sunday, Virgill said. While police who were called to scene did not find anything in Smith's room to suggest a crime had been committed or evidence of drugs, according to authorities, a jury inquest is scheduled to begin Oct. 23. According to Anna's Bahamian attorney, Michael Scott, "She fully wants this process to take place and she wishes the public to not jump to conclusions and to wait for the conclusion of the proceedings."
