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

46. Is Daniel A Scuba Diver? If so, did he dive and fly whitin the same 24hrs? This could explain a sudden death.

47. Anna, I doubt would EVER try and murder her son. Yeah, she maybe a little whacked out sometimes but never enough to be so stupid... murdering your own son? Not to mention, as far as everything is going now.. She (Anna) was no where around really when he died, or when the act was done. Yeah, Anna had her problems but damn who doesnt, celeb or not. There are plenty of people who lived the life of Annas son (rich part or not) to are ok.. turned out fine. He seemed like it.

48. To #15. I LOVED the way you ended you comments, "It is strange, as life is, he died with her and a new birth began. A shield for her and another ended." One door opened (her baby girl is born) and another door closed (her son passes on). I am 40 with three children (ages 18, 20 and 22). I can't even imagine the pain she is going through. How could I. . . I've never experienced it. My heart goes out to Anna Nicole.

People, it doesn't matter how Anna lived her life. And unless you were her son's shadow, how can you determine how he felt about his mother. WHO ARE YOU TO JUDGE? I think the Bible says, "Judge not lest ye be judged." None of us have lived a perfect life and if you think you do, then I suggest you go read your BIBLE, because the Lord said, "No one is perfect, NO NOT ONE."

This is a time of mourning. Anna may not read any of what we are writing, but why let her run into or hear about the negative comments someone decides to spill because THEIR life is not all that. Why put another log on the fire that is already burning due to the loss of her son.

Anna has to be strong in two ways: 1- For the loss of a son, 2- For the birth of a daughter.

The investigation isn't even finished yet and everyone is puttin in their 2 cents as to what they think happened. Your so good, write a book, because I'm sure someone is halfway through with the movie.

I don't believe Anna's past had anything to do with her son's death. The Lord knows every strand of hair on our heads. He gives life and he takes it away. He doesn't have to explain why because he's the Maker of Life.

Wait until the FINAL results are issued. Don't judge Anna. What she did in the past is just that IN THE PAST. I'm sure God forgave her, what's wrong with you. He who is without sin, cast the first stone. Mr #2 don't be so quick to throw because the slandering you did on Anna proved your FULL of sin. We have all sinned and come short of the Glory of God, even me. But I wake up every day and thank God for waking me up in my right mind. For my eyes to see, ears to hear and a tongue to talk. For legs to walk and hands to clap and praise His name.

It hurt my heart to hear some of you come down on Anna like that. Wonder how you'll feel should your love one be taken. Wonder what you'll do or say, should someone approach you saying some of the things SOME of you above said. You'd be ready to fight, or worse (because your weak) KILL.

Think people, THINK. What goes around comes around. What will you do.

49. 1. condolences to her, no parent should ever have to experience that

2. all of the speculation is related to the possibility that her lifestyle MIGHT have contributed to this. we dont know yet. but people are less sympathetic when it is seems that someone might have contributed to their tragedy by their actions or ommissions. there is such a thing as acountability, whether we like it or not.

3. Sorry, but we dont know if he is in a 'better place' or if he is with God. Only God knows what was in his heart. We all like to think we will all go to heaven but that just isnt what scripture teaches.

4. Sometimes tragedies like this cause people to re-examine their own situation. Scripture says that the Lord uses all things for good. Maybe some good will come from this if it causes people to turn to God.

5. ok, bring on the 'anti christian' comments - i can take it

50. IF THE CORONER DIDN'T SEE ANYTHING THAT SUGGESTED NATURAL CAUSES, THEN HE EITHER DRANK TOO MUCH, OR DIED OF A DRUG OVERDOSE. THEY CAN TELL IF YOUR HEART IS ENLARGED OR IF YOU HAVE A BRAIN ANEURISM. THEY CAN TELL IF YOUR LIVER LOOKS BAD, IF THEIR WAS SOME KIND OF BLUNT FORCE TRAUMA ETC. HE MIGHT HAD MIXED PILLS WITH ALCOHOL. PEOPLE GO INTO COMAS OR JUST DIE BECAUSE OF MIXING DRUGS. IF THERE WAS A CONGENITAL PROBLEM WITH HIS HEART THEY WOULD HAVE CAUGHT THAT WHEN HE HAD HIS AUTOPSY. JUST LIKE SEAN PENN'S BROTHER. HE HAD SEVERAL DIFFERENT DRUGS IN HIS SYSTEM THAT KILLED HIM. AND I DON'T THINK YOU CAN SAY IT WAS BECAUSE HIS MOM DID DRUGS. MY PARENT'S NEVER DID DRUGS AND I HAVE TWO BROTHERS THAT HAVE A LONG HISTORY OF DOING DRUGS. I DON'T DO THEM AND I NEVER HAVE. I CHOSE NOT TO EVER TRY ANYTHING. ONCE YOU CHOOSE TO TRY THEM YOU NEVER KNOW IF YOU WILL GET ADDICTED TO THEM. ONE THING I HAVE NOTICED WITH THE KIDS NOW DAYS THEY DO WHAT THEY WANT TO DO , EVEN IF THEY HAVE A GOOD STABLE ENVIROMENT. BUT MAYBE ANNA WILL REALIZE WHAT DRUGS CAN DO TO YOU. MAYBE THIS WILL BE A WAKE UP CALL! THE END RESULT IS, IT DOESN'T MATTER WHAT HE DIED FROM HE ISN'T COMING BACK!

51. Losing a child is horrible. Its kinda sick how some of you are trying to blame Annas life style for her sons death. Im pretty sure she didnt kill him or want him to die and if she knew she would lead to his death im sure she would have stopped whatever she was doing to help him. Not many mothers would wish their children death unless they are insane which Anna isnt. She might be depressed and heavily medicated most of the time (lets face it her life has been a mess) but crazy to the point of killing she isnt. It sucks cause it seemed like she was just getting her life on track. She lost the weight, was happy about giving birth again, semmed coherent and then she gives birth and her son dies in the same week. They were extremely close. They actually had to sedate her because she didnt want to leave his side and according to reports she suffered memory loss of the whole thing so her Lawyer had to tell her that her son died all over again. I mean, i dont even know how i would deal with all of this, how can some of you even begin to point fingers.

52. MAY HE REST IN PEACE, AND AT THE SECOND COMING OF CHRIST HAVE A BETTER LIFE. ALL OF OUR TIME IS VERY CLOSE, GOD DOES THINGS FOR A REASON, MAYBE NICOLE WILL BE A BETTER ROLE MODEL FOR HER NEW BABY GIRL, AND WILL NOT HAVE TO SEE THINGS THAT DANIEL HAD TO ENDURE IN HIS SHORT LIFE. GOD BLESS THE SMITH FAMILY I FEEL REALLY SAD FOR THEM.

53. The thought of burying my child is just inconceivable to me...a parent should not outlive her children. However Ms Smith chose to live her life, losing her beloved son was not something she should endure. and in the future, will Daniels little sister feel guilty on her birthdays to come? Let the poor woman grieve R.I.P. Daniel

54. This is just so sad. I lost my only daughter at 21. My heart aches for Nicole and those that loved Daniel. Bottom line is Nicole is devastated and changed for life.
I hope she can find some peace in time.

56. Anna Nicole's final words to her son: "Stop impersonating one of my boyfriends!"

57. I haven't seen anyone address what jumps out at me. Can you imagine the guilt, heartbreak and trauma of knowing your child died while in the same room with you - and you didn't stop it? Didn't wake up? Didn't hear anything? Might have been able to save him, if you had only heard or been aware of something, anything? I think that would be harder than being restrained and aware of what was happening.

58. ok it is a real tragedy ,so lets think clearly he was a person and anna is also let her grieve in peace with that little girl........WHAT IF IT WAS YOU????????????

59. I am not a fan of hers. Although she can be beautiful when made up classy, she acts like low class trash. That being said, I am sure she loved her son as she loves her newborn child. No parent should lose a child. In this situation, I feel sorry for her loss. I hope that she can still find comfort, joy, happiness and love with the little angel who was just born to her. I hope in time she can look back without the tears, but with love and joy and fondness at her son's too short life. I do pray that her newborn will not suffer from her grief.
