Anna Nicole Lost Memory of Son's Death

Anna Nicole and Daniel SmithWhile the circumstances surrounding the death of Anna Nicole Smith's son Daniel are still unclear, Anna Nicole has now issued a statement, through her Bahamian lawyer Michael R. Scott, detailing the events of the incident.

Smith says she, Howard K. Stern (her US lawyer) and Daniel spent the entire evening on Saturday together in her hospital room after Stern picked Daniel up at the airport at 10:30pm.

At 9:38 am Sunday morning, Anna Nicole awoke and noticed her son was not breathing and alerted nurses. Medical staff attempted to revive Daniel but were unsuccessful. Daniel was pronounced dead but "Anna Nicole and Howard frantically continued resuscitation efforts."

Anna Nicole refused to leave her son's side and it became necessary "to sedate her in order to check her out of the hospital."

Due to the sedation and her grief, Anna Nicole suffered "memory loss of the event" and Stern even had to tell her again that Daniel had died.

Smith's statement adds that she is "shocked and appalled" that the press have not allowed her to grieve in private. And is asking the media to wait for the coroner's report "before leaping to sensational, speculative and unfounded conclusions as to how Daniel died."

16. So so sad. i can not imagine. im a new mother and i am so devestated for her. as far as the people who can make jokes about this, you must not be very loved, and i can only pity you. and to make it worst, she found this out after she gave birth....as if her hormons weren't already out of wack. this is so so so sad. ana nicole may not have been an angel in the past, but she does not deserve this.

17. i tstill can't believe it. Its like her whole life is now the surreal life. She will probably need sedation the rest of her life! How on EWarth is she going to raise this new baby girl? ANd Howard K Stern is a piece of sh*t no matter whether he is in on it or not! He should've known something was wrong with Daniel! May Daniel Smith rest in peace.

18. Its kind of scary to think we share the world with people like Drew and Steve, you guys have no class or respect for others that just shows what kind of household you grew up in!

yOU SHOULD NOT CRITICIZE ANNA BECAUSE YOUR PROBABLY UGLYER HUMANBEINGS THAN SHE WILL EVER BE.

19. Drew and Steve I pity you. You obviously lack joy and love in your lives. You were not raised to have kind hearts. You have no respect for yourself, therefore you have none for others. Just know that tomorrow is a new day and yes even jerks like you can start to have compassion for others. And before you say anything to me - your idiotic words mean s*it to me - I won't be reading them. I post and move on when dealing with twits like you.

20. For those of you indecent enough to write atrocities about Anna and her son, you should just keep that type of stuff to yourself. Noone but your psycologist wants to hear such horrible things come out of your mouth or read it anywhere. May Daniel Smith RIP and i hope Anna can find a way to cope and grieve safely for her son's lost, so she may be able to raise her new baby girl who i am sure is as beautiful as she is and Daniel was.

21. Something is REALLY WRONG HERE. I cannot wait for the truth to come out. 3 people in a room, 1 winds up dead, that leaves the mother and her nimb wit attorney presents.

Mother had to be sedated, for what? I would want to be with my son all the way to the morgue, not in some stupor.

Daniel, you are finally in a better place. Be thankful you are away from all those nuts. God will take care of you now. Rest in peace Daniel.

I only hope your Mother does not wear her wedding dress to your funeral.

22. Please, guys... take it easy, the family has lost one of their own. Wether it's because of a train wreck or natural causes, the out come remains the same. A kid died, and a mother lost her son.

23. for you people making crude and terrible remarks...you all should have your karma come around....I don't care what one's parent does or any relative...but to bury your own child would be terrible...especially at 20. If you do have kids, let's just hope what comes around doesn't go around. Her son was an innocent victim to any of her mother's antics and personality...even if she isn't the brightest person to us. If my 4 yo son died unexpectedly, i would not be able to go on. Plus, how does one deal with a new joy and a terrible loss at once...you would want to be sedated too w/ ur emotions...or maybe you have down do many drugs yourself that you can't think before you write....

24. this poor boy died in the prime of his life. it is all so sad, may God bless and keep him.

25. ahhh # idiot 20, if youve ever lost a family member you would know that when you loose someone you have a panic attack so you need sedation for control.

But judging you by your words I could tell youve never been through such pain

26. @ #21....amen.
Losing ANYONE you love is an unbearable experience. It's something I would think everyone could relate to.

27. My God this is sad! Despite all the things that Anna Nicole has done in the past, she doesn't deserve this cruel punishment: losing a son just three days after giving birth to a newborn. You've got to feel sorry for her. And as for those people who find this as some kind of joke, all I can say to them is this: HAVE U PPL GOT NO HEARTS?! iF YOU DON'T, YOU NEED HELP!!!!!!!

28. Death should not be made fun of, we all are gonna die one day. I actually really like Anna-Nicole and I feel so sorry and sad for her. She should be celebrating the birth of her daughter, but instead she is mourning the lost of her son. #14 it doesn't matter if you are 4,20, or 80 when God decides it's your time to go that's the final answer, no matter how you check out.

30.
#2 I agree with you. I think her lawyer had something to do with this.
I read earlier this week Daniel was taking medication. Maybe he had some alcohol on the airplane and it didnt agree with the medicine. We will have to wait and see want the autopsy says...... My heart goes out to Anna and her family
