Anna Nicole Smith's 20-year-old son dies By JESSICA ROBERTSON, Associated Press Writer
1 hour, 6 minutes ago
The 20-year-old son of Anna Nicole Smith has been found dead in a hospital in the Bahamas, where the former reality TV star and Playboy playmate gave birth to a baby girl.
Smith's attorney, Howard K. Stern, said authorities had not yet determined what caused the death of Daniel Smith, whose body was found Sunday morning.
Walter Evans, a spokesman for the Royal Bahamian Police Force, would say only that the son of an undisclosed celebrity had been found in a room of the private Doctor's Hospital in Nassau.
Evans declined to provide details, but Stern said the cause was under investigation.
"We have yet to learn the cause of death but do not believe that drugs or alcohol were a factor," Stern said. "Anna Nicole is absolutely devastated by the loss of her son. He was her pride and joy and an amazing human being."
Anna Nicole Smith, 38, gave birth to a healthy 6 pound, 9 ounce girl at the hospital on Thursday. Her son had traveled to the Caribbean country to visit with his mother.
She married Texas oil tycoon J. Howard Marshall II in 1994, when she was 26 and he was 89. He died the following year. Since then, she has feuded with Marshall's son, Pierce Marshall, over her entitlement to the tycoon's estate.
