Anna Nicole Found Son Dead in Her Hospital Room

Anna Nicole Smith and late son Daniel in 2004.TMZ has gathered further details in the tragic death of Anna Nicole Smith's son Daniel in the Bahamas yesterday morning. According to police, Smith herself found Daniel in her hospital room yesterday around 9:00 am, thinking that he was asleep. She then tried to wake him up and, after he didn't respond, immediately called for help. At that point, doctors and staff were not able to revive 20-year-old Daniel. Anna Nicole had just given birth three days earlier in the same hospital to a baby daughter.

The police continue to maintain that there were no signs of visible injury on the body, and that there were no signs of violence in the room. Police add that they haven't deemed the death a homicide, and do not suspect foul play.

Sources cited by the local newspaper Nassau Guardian have suggested that the cause of death was a "massive heart attack," but neither doctors nor the local coroner has confirmed this. And the Guardian adds that Daniel Smith arrived in Nassau on Saturday, after his mother had given birth.

47. My deepest condolonces on the loss of Daniel. He appeared to be a very nice boy who loved his Mother regardless of who or what she was. To loose your life at such a young age, is a terrible loss.

Think what you want of her, but he had no control over how she acted.

Daniel will be missed.

50. Very tragic. In the show one could see how he didn't like the limelight and seemed to want to protect his mom. Sounds like he had some sort of clot or embolism from the Saturday flight in from the details of it. What a bittersweet time for Anna or any mother who would face such a situation...

56. wow I am shocked. while I never been a huge anna nicole fan, I know first hand the devastating loss one feels when their only child has died. hold tight to this precious new life you have been given. your new baby daughter is your life preserver. without her you could easily sink to depths of despair. hold tight to her and thank God that you have been given a second chance at motherhood. I am so sorry for your loss.

57. I am truly sorry for Anna Nicole. Such a tragic moment.

I am curious, however, to see if her true and absolute heartache over her son's death will appear more genuine and realistic than her melodromatic put-on reaction to her billionaire husband's death. I'm certain we'll see the real thing, this time.

58. i hate to be the one to say it, but have any of you ever heard of KARMA??? Think about the 90 year old billionaire she sucked the life & $$$ out of...think of his family...

I'm sure her son didn't deserve to die, but bad things happen to bad people...
(meaning Anna)

60. Anna was a very loving mother to her son Daniel. Anna's love and devotion was very obvious on her show and in her actions. My heart goes out to her and her family. Anna, you are in my prayers!
Nobody is perfect. Anna has made some mistakes in her life, just like us all. Please have extra compassion for Anna at this time and do not write anything nasty about her. She is suffering enough!!!!
