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

76. Everyone knows what kind of life Anna has led, and there is a lot to be said about that. One thing I think nobody can say is that she did not love her son! If you ever watched her show, she was a shrew to everyone within a 2 mile radius of her, with the exception of Daniel. Not once have I ever seen her be anything but patient and loving with him. All of the video of them together shows this. If there is any beauty to be found in his passing, it is that it happened in the presence of the person who loved him most in this world, and not in some back alley somewhere. I really hope that his death was in no way connected to his exposure to Anna's lifestyle. That would truely be unforgivable, I think.

77. First, this is the most unusual and sad thing to have happen. Second, every last one of us have things in their life that they are ashamed of and regret! The difference between us and her is ours is not public. Everyone who automatically relates this terrible circumstance to Anna's behavior should be ashamed of themselves and need to take a look at their own past behaviors! Sometime society is pathetic.

78. I agree this is a terrible , terrible tradgedy. I should know. I lost a child at a much younger age than Danial was. I wasn't fortunate enough to get to spend 20 years with him. To get to know him, raise him and enjoy his company. Watch him grow and experience his joy and help him through his pain.

Anna did get to have that. She is very lucky . Very lucky indeed. That is what she should focus on. I consider her to be very lucky indeed, when I lthink of what I was robbed of. If she can see the positive through all this pain, it will help her to endure the loss that will never go away.
Now she has something even more imporatant to attend to . Her brand new baby daughter. She can't let her loss over shawdow what her most important responsibility is now. With support of family and friends , she should be able to wheather this in time. My heart , prayers and positive thoughts are with her.

81. I think it's rediculous to think he drank so much on the plane that it would cause him to die. Anyone that dies from over drinking goes into a coma...would not make it from the plane to the hospital. Has to be many things they are not telling us.

82. I didn't know Anna but I have enough compassion to feel for a mother who lost her son whom she really seemed to love. For all of you who are judging and cracking jokes, I hope you don't live in glass houses and I hope you never have to bury a child. God Bless you Anna and God bless you heartless people.

Peace

83. Do you think Howard K. Stern is the father of Anna's baby and decided to take out Daniel for some reason? Hmmm?

84. Well I feel bad for Anna Nicole to have lost a son so close to his mother!! It don't matter what he died of he was 20 for god's sake. Rumors can run and mouth's can flap,it don't matter what she did in her life she loved her son very much. It is a great loss to her so back off Anna and let her deal with her loss. Love ya Anna R.I.P. Daniel P.S. Why blame the Airline yet? Let them do there investigation it all will come out to the public soon.

85. i am shocked that we are all so judgemental...none of us were even there...how does anna's habits and lifte style even come into his death> and the money she may or may not have is not even a factor in what happened to this young man i am sure she is in shock and devastated,lets all wait and see what happen before we start flinging stones! just can not argue with the ignorent!

86. Leave her alone. Her pain must be miserable. How can one experience the miracle of birth and death all at once with your own children? Please be sympathetic. Provide love.

87. I think that it's sickening to hear all of the things people have to say about anna nicole. especially at this time. You have to think of how you would feel if this were happening to you. People are too mixed up in this celebrity madness. She is a person and a mother first of all and I think that all of you people that have bad things to say at this time should have enough descency to wait until the poor woman has had a chance to greive over her dead child.

88. I DON'T KNOW WHAT MRS. SMITH IS GOING THROUGH RIGHT NOW AND I CAN'T EVEN IMAGINE, BUT I DO KNOW THAT THE LOSE OF A CHILD WOULD BE THE HARDEST THING A PARENT WOULD EVER HAVE TO DEAL WITH SO I AM DEFINATELY PRAYING FOR HER. WHAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN THE MOST HAPPIEST TIME FOR HER AND HER FAMILY, THE BIRTH OF HER DAUGHTER, HAS TURNED OUT TO BE A TRAGIC TIME WITH THE DEATH OF HER SON. I THINK PEOPLE SHOULD SHOW A LITTLE MORE COMPASSION FOR HER AND KEEP THEIR NEGATIVE COMMENTS TO THEMSELVES. I'M SURE SHE AND HER FAMILY NEED ALL THE LOVE AND SUPPORT THEY COULD POSSIBLY GET RIGHT NOW, WOULDN'T YOU IF IT WAS YOUR CHILD?
