Coroner: Anna Nicole Son’s Death Unnatural
September 13, 2006 by Gayla McCord
E! Reports that authorities in the Bahamas said Tuesday that the sudden death of Anna Nicole Smith’s son over the weekend could not be attributed to natural causes, but refused to elaborate.
Daniel Smith flew in Saturday to visit his mother and three-day-old sister at the private Doctors Hospital in Nassau. The following morning, the 20-year-old was dead.
An autopsy was performed Monday. On Tuesday, Her Majesty’s Coroner Linda P. Virgill said that based on preliminary findings, “the cause of death is not natural.” But, she said, “we wish to reserve [announcing] the cause of death at this time,” adding that a toxicology results and a full autopsy report will be released by the end of the week.
It’s difficult to not speculate in a case like this – I personally thought 20 was awefully young to have a heart attack (not that it can’t happen) but I’m a bit curious as to what others think may be the cause/reason behind Daniel’s death.
