Anna's Son: Plane Flight Provides Clues

Anna's Son: Plane flight provides cluesTMZ has learned that Daniel Smith, the son of former Playmate Anna Nicole Smith, was dead by the time he was found in his mother's hospital room.

Sources connected to the investigation also say any allegations of negligence on the hospital's part are unfounded. There was no shortage of oxygen, as had been previously reported. There was no blood or vomit in the room either and we're told no drugs or alcohol were found in the room. Sources say, however, Daniel's airplane flight to the Bahamas may provide a critical clue as to the possible cause of his death. TMZ has learned that personnel on board the flight are being interviewed by police and there are rumblings that alcohol on board the aircraft may have been a factor.

Sources indicate Daniel went directly to the hospital where his mother was as soon as he landed at the airport

331. I saw a picture in a publication where I thought he was holding a can of one of those energizer drinks (like Red Bull, etc).

I know they can really play havoc with your heart.

Also Adderall that is out there that docs are handing out like candy
--they are finding out is really dangerous heart-wise.

I wonder if he had been on Adderall or was used to drinking any of the power/energizer drinks?

When an autopsy is done -- it doesn't cover everything. They only find or don't find things they are looking for.

Those 2 things may not be on the list of things to test for.

332. Yes I think it's so very sad for a 20 year old man to die. My heart goes out to Anna Nicole and her family.

May God take care of him in heaven!

335. OMG SHUT UP SOME OF YOU.

1.YES ANNA WASNT THE BEST MOTHER- EVERYONE MAKES MISTAKES
2.SHE CAME RIGHT IN THE END- HE ACCOMPLISHED THIS HAPPILLY.
3. A MOTHER IS A MOTHER- THE BOND , NO MATTER WHAT IS THERE
4. SHE FINALLY SORTED HERSELF OUT AND DANIEL WAS HAPPY AND SUPPORTIVE OF HER.

LOOK AT THE END OF THE DAY A MOTHER HAS LOST HER SON, SOMONE WHO SHE SPENT TIME WITH, SOMONE SHE CARRIED INSIDE OF HER FOR 9 MONTHS, SOMONE SHE GAVE BIRTH TOO, SOMONE WHO WAS ALWAYS THERE WITH UNCONDITIONAL LOVE NO MATTER WHAT. IM SURE THERE WERE MISTAKES AS SHE BOUGHT HIM UP AND SHES NOT PERFECT, FAR FROM IT, BUT SHE CAME RIGHT IN THE END AND THEY LOOK SO HAPPY TOGETHER IF YOU LOOK AT THE FILM HER SON WAS PORDUCING WHICH ANNA WAS STARRING IN , YOU WILL SEE HE WATCHES HER ADORINGLY AS A SON.

ITS VERY SAD THAT SHE HAS GAINED A DAUGHTER AND LOST A SON, HAVE A HEART A THINK HOW IT MUST FEEL.. BRINGING A BABY INTO THE WORLD IS AMAZING, AND ALSO DAMN HARD WORTK EMOTIONALLY AND PSYCIALLY AND NOW SHE HAS TO GREIVE ASWELL, MY HEART GOES OUT TO HER, NO JUDEGEMENTS.

336. A young man has died, and no matter what the findings are he will not be back...its tragic that he did not seek medical attention if he was feeling badly, as the reports indicated he was having stomach pain...but many times illness is just taken for granted, sometimes blowing it off as just a bad day hoping to feel better. If he was on prescription drugs and used alcohol then I am sure the reports will come to a conclusion, unless there was an underlying condition. (My doctor's son was playing basketball at 13 and died from heart failure)....sad, but it happens more often than you think....Personally I do not care for the publicity that Anna gets....she just does not give the impression of being a classy woman....and beating them up with gossip solves nothing....still, this was her child, and my heart goes out to her....prayers for the entire situation. May Daniel rest in peace and fly with the angels.

337. This is all so puzzeling. One couldn't make up such a tragedy.
My MAIN question is WHY did he have 2 antidepressents in his system. It's very likely that he was prescribed one by a Dr., but is it normal for a person to be taking 2 different kinds at the same time??? I don't know. The methodone, who knows? Possibly in the privacy of the hospital room, Anna and/or Howard gave it to him for whatever reason not knowing about the amount of antidepressants he had in his system already? And if he did have that much in his system, would he not show some or alot of grogginess?? Howard Stern said Daniel wasn't sleepy that night and was going to stay up and watch t.v. From all the reports, everyone talked about what a joy and a good kid he was. Was he seeing a DR. for depression?
There is something about Anna that I like and there is nothing that would convince me that she did not love her son more than anything and would cause him harm in any way intentionaly. She has had a troubled life herself and sometimes people get caught up in a lifestyle that alot wouldn't agree with. I think her lifestyle reflects her insecurities, whatever they may be. One would have to be in her shoes to understand. Too many people want to judge other than do this. I'm sure Daniel had to deal with alot of things because of how he was raised and the publicity surrounding their lives but he loved his mother no matter what. And I believe with all my heart that his mother did what only she knew how to.
And then there's Howard Stern who has been so smittened with her for years. That has been so obvious, making a fool of himself, his every move around her.
Then there is the ex boyfriend claiming to be the father of her baby, which I personally believe he is. Time will tell on that. But then again it's so puzzeling that Anna won't just do the DNA test and be done with it. Which gives me reason to think possibly she moved to the Bahama's [with alot of input from Mr. Stern] hoping this would all go away because she wanted no more to do with the ex boyfriend [and knowing the baby is his???.]
But... what ever the story is behind all of this, let us all pray for Daniel and the ones that loved and will miss this bright young man. God Bless him. He was a sweet kid and too young to die at such a young age, under any circumstances, and would definately not want his mother scrutinized for every thing she's done wrong in her life. Let's pray for Daniel that she not have any knowledge of this tragedy. And pray for Anna till we all know the FACTS and the truth as to what happened that night that was to be such a happy time.
.May God be with him and his family at this time.

338. Poor Anna. Life begins and ends. What we do in between is the only problem or joy. I just hope Anna and Howard learn. Danny loved her and she loved him. That is all that matters now that he is gone. I believe she will, I only hope for her mental health she nevers blames herself regardless of her lifestyle or that she lives with regret. That would take away the joy of life in her new baby girl as the baby grows up. Good luck Anna.

339. I think that Nicole's lawyer, new husband, Howard Stern needs to be looked at very carefully. Daniel was fed dinner that Stern went out and brought back to the hospital room the evening that he arrived. There could have been drugs injected in his food or beverage. I think that Stern was very jealous of Nicole and Daniel's very close relationship. If you notice, he said that he has been in-love with Nicole for years, yet, she only married him after the death of her son. Now they have one cozy little family: Nicole, Stern, and their baby daughter; so Stern pretty much has her to himself now that Daniel is out of the picture. It has been stated by friends and co-workers of Daniel's that he was not doing drugs of any kind; he was working on a film. I don't think that Nicole had anything to do with the death of her son, but she must be very naive to not suspect her lawyer/husband. He was the third adult in that room, and had the opportunity and motive to get rid of Daniel. Being in a foreign country, they don't investigate deaths as deeply as we do here in America; and the right amount of money passing hands can stop the real facts from coming out. Look what happened to Natalie Hollaway in Aruba. The son of one of their Judges was the main suspect, and he lied on several occasions, and admitted to having lied, yet, they beieved his last version of the events leading up to Natalie's disappearance. To this day, nobody has been charged. Aruba did not want one of their official's family members being brought up before the courts for murder; so they did as little as possible about trying to find Natalie. If it had been found out that the Judge's son murdered her, not many tourists would be wanting to hang out in Aruba any time soon; and tourism is their main money maker in Aruba. My point here, things can be hushed up pretty quickly in foreign countries if you have the right ties. And just look at the fact that, Howard Stern has talked Nicole into making their home in a foreign country, even going as far as changing their citizenships, and he has not returned to the United States since his marriage to Nicole, and the death of Daniel.

340. Hope Daniel finds true happiness in heaven. This young man had to be confused by his mother's actions to a huge degree! He could not admire her morality, her own drug use and alcohol use and it must have been an embarassing life for this young man. Hope Anna Nicole has learned her lesson with the untimely death of her only son. Hope she can put aside her own "LOOK AT ME - TRASHY ATTITUDE" and raise this precious new baby girl in a normal environment - one that Daniel NEVER had a chance to have. For this little girl's sake - I hope Howard Stern is NOT the father. Howard is on his own mental trip!!!

341. No matter what we think of the mother, losing a son can bring any mother to her knees in grief. No matter the mother's lifestyle, their children will defend their mother. Maybe just maybe this may be the cause of Anna's lifestyle, for her daughter's sake

342. Poor Anna. But I'm sure the old man AND his son are laughing in heaven. Even though she is crazier than cat sh*t, she didn't deserve to lose her son. Look at the last pictures of him. He was stoned or hung over. He looked like a high mileage 20; and with her insanity, porno, and carpetmunching, he was probably A LIITLE screwed up; and drugs may have seemed normal, since she was stoned a lot of the time. 20 year olds don't just die in their sleep--he had a bad mixture of drugs and alcohol.

343. As I myself have had a loved one pass away from dug abuse, IT DOES NOT MATTER! If people would educate themselves on drug abuse (if thats what happend) then they would know it is a disease. Would you say hurtful things about someone who passed from cancer? I think that losing a child - no matter who you are or how much money you have....lets be real here....- that has got to be the most horrible thing that could happen. My thoughts and prayers are with the family. I feel sad for people who think this is a time to take "digs" at anyone going through this. Thoughts and Prayers always

344. My God people stop judging this woman. Reguardless of what she has or hasn't not done in her life, which I personally know nothing about, cause I don't know her personally, but let her be with all the judging. She only has to stand before God when she dies, NOT any of you. What she had done or hasn't done, has nothing to do with her son dying. She is a Mother who loved her child, and I am sure she is grieving. How ever she choices to grieve is up to her. I don't know that if it were my child that died that I wouldn't do any better at it than she has done. My prayer are with this woman, may God Bless her....
