Daniel Smith, the twenty-year-old son of Anna Nicole Smith, was found dead yesterday in the Bahamas hospital where his mother had just had a baby. According to the AP, there is currently no word on how he passed away; Anna Nicole's attorney, Howard K. Stern, says the cause is under investigation.Remember that Daniel was a prominent player in Anna Nicole's reality series The Anna Nicole Show, so he's not unfamiliar to TV viewers. Of course, the death of such a young man, compared with the wacky life his mother leads, is going to make people speculate right away that drugs were involved. But at this point, no one knows the cause.
By the way, the picture above was taken by the AP in 1999, when Daniel was 13.

That is totally shocking that her son would die right after she had given birth. Sometimes life can really be a lot stranger than fiction...

UNREAL!! Anna's a little off in my book, BUT no one desirves this. to have a baby and loose a baby in the same day? I would think drugs too. You can't help but jump to conclusions. Wonder where he learned it from??
My prayers are with the family.

I agree with Maria, no mother deserves this kind of thing no matter how odd or wacky they are. You do think something else has to be a factor when you hear a 20 yr old died. That's just sad.

I am so sorry to hear that Anna Nicole Smith's son passed away. I'm sure that he wanted to see his mom's new baby. Now, all the jokes and "Who-cares-about Anna Nicole because her 15 minutes of fame are up" comments have to STOP now! Anna's going through a lot now and we need to show sympathy for her at this time.

I was absolutely shocked when I heard about this. No matter what anyone says about Anna, she was a mother who loved her child and I can't even imagine what she's going through. This should be such a happy time for her with her new little girl, yet she has to bury her son. It's unthinkable.

For whatever reason, I have always admired Anna Nichole and am so sorry for her horrific loss. I am a mother, grandmother AND great grandmother and know that the loss of a child is as close to unbearable as life gets. I will pray for Anna and her family. I wish there was some way for those of us who love her could offer our sympathy. Her baby daughter will be her strength.

I too am deeply sadden to hear about Anna Nicole's lost. I watched her reality show and remember seeing Daniel. I am a mother and can't imagine how she is feeling. This goes to show that no matter how bad you think you have it - someone else is going thur worst times.

yea, she may be wacky, but she did what she did for her son, and she has always stuck by her kid.
no parent deserves this, especially those that actually give a damn about their kids.
at least he passed in his sleep and i presume he didnt suffer.

It`s very sad but if you think about it what if she planned this, I mean she did have a baby than have her other son die it`s a little strange. I say Fuck Anna and start looking at the real picture cause she`s not.

jaeda...let me guess. You're a cold hearted soul and must not have kids, right? I don't care how crazy she was or wacky, I have never hated her. I think it was because on her reality show that she showed her son alot of attention and love. Other than that, I may not have liked her either. But it just showed that she is a human being with feelings toward her child, and I could never imagine going through losing any of mine. (My oldest son is 21 and I am 37.) I really do feel sympathy for her on this one. Just the thought of going through something like that makes me want to cry. Very sad. =(

Anna Nichole is not the victim here. Her poor son is, Having his mothers taudry life played out for all to see while he seemingly raised himself on the side lines of a freak show that posed as a family. If you have a child you can still have fun but "Girls Gone Wild" ends with conception.
Still no one deserves this.
That said the coincidence makes one wonder if she is some how involved.
I do not hate Anna and I even own a DVD , but a whack job is a whack job mother or not. And yes I have 3 kids

Everyone needs to stop judgeing all you see is what is on camera you know nothing about what went on in her life or how she raised her son all anyone sees is what she did to make her money that does not mean she was or is a horriable person. So she chose a strange life style not everyone can be a doctor or lawyer and and the lifestyle she chose gave her the ability to give her son any and everything he wanted. People realy need to look at them selves and think about how you would feel in her situation noone is the perfect parent and half the people who have something to say about her are screwing up thier kids as we speak so i say BACK OFF
