Anna Nicole's son's death called suspiciousNASSAU, Bahamas (AP) -- The chief inspector of the Bahamas coroner's office on Wednesday called the death of Anna Nicole Smith's 20-year-old son, Daniel, "suspicious," and scheduled a formal inquiry that could lead to criminal charges.

"Whenever there is a suspicious death we would have an inquest to determine how the person died," Bradley Neely, chief inspector
of the coroner's office, told AP Television News.

Her Majesty's Coroner Linda P. Virgill scheduled the inquest for the week of Oct. 23, saying it "is the right course of action." If jurors at the inquest decide a crime took place, the case would be sent to the attorney general's office, authorities said.

1. How could it be possible for something suspicious to happen when his Mom and I'm sure nurses and other visitors were most likely somewhere around? This is too bazaar!

2. Irregardless of how her son died... this is really very sad. She just had a new baby, and a few days later her son dies, and she's the one to find him! How sad... When you see pictures of them together, you can tell they were really close. I feel bad for her.. no matter what, suspicious or natural death, it is sad, he was so young...

6. How did her 89 year old husband die?? Um maybe because he was 89 years old? I'm just grasping at straws here but that would be my guess.

7. and the 89 year olds son died a few months back. The one she was fighting in court over the money the old man left her. Maybe her lawyer , Stern, was jealous of Daniel. Stern seems to be in love with her.

8. Personally, I think it's irresponsible to release these tidbit pieces of titillating information and then refuse to elaborate. It just causes wild rumors and speculation. They should just keep quiet until they're ready to give all details.

9. I hope no one is suggesting that Anna Nicole had anything to do with her sons death. I'm sure she is totally devastated, as any mother would be. There is definitly some weirdness about her poor son, but to imply anything about Anna, that's just cruel. And, yeah, I wonder how an 89 year old man died...I wonder if they investigated her? Maybe she f$#@%^ him to death?? That's how most men would choose to go!

10. I think her deceased husbands sons death was fishy and Im either thinkin that daniel was involved in drug or had something in his system.... or the tycoon's family is strikin back! stern wouldnt have anything to do with it!

11. Oh my... Does that mean she won't be able to take his body home for burial until this whole thing is settled? If so, how very, very, sad.
Maybe this will give other celebrities pause before they choose to have a baby outside the U.S.

12. "There is definately some weirdness to her son but to imply anything about Anna....." GEEZ we ARE talking about Anna Nicole here! This is the Anna Nicole who seemed completely high as a kite during her entire reality show and then would appear on the Red Carpet disoriented, incoherent, and making NO SENSE. Her son actually seemed NORMAL compared to his unfit mother, her puppet master lawyer and the creepy assistant.

13. what ISN'T suspicious about a 20 yr old dying?

Posted at 12:38PM on Sep 13th 2006 by parissucksliterally

14. And what isn't suspicious about hearing two different stories on how he was found dead? One sitting upright in a chair looking as though he was asleep; and the other vomiting violently with the room looking a mess. Those stories are completely opposites!!!

15. Not that I feel good typing this, BUT TOLD YA SO (that his death wasn't an accident). I still want to know where Courtney was when he was poisoned?
