Celebrity Justice
Docs Tried to Revive Daniel for 23 Minutes

Anna Nicole Smith and Daniel SmithOn the heels of Anna Nicole Smith's statement, the Royal Bahamas Police Force has issued their own press release regarding the death of Anna Nicole's son Daniel.

Assistant Commissioner With Responsibility For Crime, Reginald Ferguson, said police received a call from the hospital informing them of Daniel's death on Sunday morning at around 10:29AM.

Officers were sent to the hospital where they discovered Daniel's "lifeless body" lying on his back on a bed. Crime scene investigators concluded there was "nothing unusual noticed about the condition of the room."

Police inquiries indicate that Daniel was last seen moving about the room at 6:30AM and at 7:30AM Daniel, Anna Nicole and Howard K. Stern were "observed to be asleep in the room."

Nurses responded to a call from Anna Nicole's room at 9:38AM (as Anna had said in her statement) and issued a Code Blue. Doctors and other medical staff then attempted to resuscitate Daniel for "approximately 23 minutes." Daniel Smith was pronounced dead at 10:05 am.

A few hours later Daniel was transported to the morgue and on Tuesday an autopsy was performed. With the results of the toxicology analysis still pending, police say the cause of death is still not known. This is of note because, as we first reported yesterday, the coroner confirmed to TMZ that she does, in fact, know what killed Daniel. A death certificate has not been issued.

The statement adds that local police are continuing with further investigations.

46. This is very sad.. For those of you that find it funny to mock someone that is grieving for their child all I can say is that you obviously must be truely a_ _ holes in your everyday lives!! Forget about whatever mistakes she's made in her life this woman has lost her child!! I feel very sad for her regardless of her past. I only wish those that mock and make fun of this situation could have their lives made open to the public. I'd love to see their reaction when strangers would disrespect them and their family.

47. You bickering people need to chill! I too think Anna’s a bit out there. However, losing anyone you love is horrific; I can’t imagine a child. I suppose those here who don’t show compassion have never experienced such a loss…your time will come. Prayers to Anna and Family.

48. You know why Anna Nicole's willing to sleep with old men? Because where there's a will, there's a way. And let me tell you: she's willing to go all the way for the will.

51. Drew - You really are an ignorant moron lacking any common sense! No doubt you probably got your butt beat everyday as a little boy. I hope that someday when you crawl out of that rat hole you call home somebody will find out who you are and slowly break everyone of your stubby lil fingers so that you can never post another blog in TMZ again.

52. Being a mother of a son myself, I cannot even begin to imagine the sheer agony Anna Nicole Smith must be going through. To discover your son not breathing-what a nightmare for any mother, whether your child is a newborn or a 50 year old man. Or in this case, a 20 year old man who seemed to be healthy. I might personally think Anna Nicole is...out there, to say the least but the one thing I had always noticed was that her son seemed to be a polite, kind of shy, quiet and well mannered kid, especially on her show. He seemed like a very decent human being, despite his mother's behavior and public idiocy. We should all remember that while we can choose our friends, we can't choose our family and Daniel Smith appeared to love his mama and thats what counts most. I am sure he knew all about what a screwed up person she could be, he did live with her, after all. And having had him so young, I am sure Anna Nicole wasn't exactly June Cleaver but I am also sure she did the best she could with him, given her circumstances. It is my heartfelt wish for Anna Nicole that her pain does not interfere with her ability to mother her new daughter. I wish her the strength to get through this awful time in her life without having to rely on medication and drugs. And I wish her peace, because I know she has to be living a lifetime of regret. She isn't so dumb that she can't possibly know that her behavior had to have affected his life.
For those of you who just want to bash Anna Nicole, its not like the rest of us don't know, or havent seen, how she has acted, being stoned or drunk in public, acting like a spoiled brat, or whatever. We are all familiar with her and her antics. But there is a time and place for poking fun, and this isnt it. Grow up, just a little.

53. 49, thanks for the laughs! You take this stuff way too seriously. Go take a nice big dump and feel better, k?

54. Where is your compassion? Whatever the history of this woman--playboy model, gold-digger, reality show hostess--she has lost a son. A person never gets over losing a child, and with some of the obvious deficits this woman has, she will likely not be able to ever cope with the loss. All the money she has won, made, or bargained for, will not bring him back--she is lost to her forever. She cannot say she is sorry, she cannot make ammends, she cannot say "I love you"--nothing. He is gone forever, and like Anna Nicole or not, she loved her son and is in pain beyond belief. Quit being a senseless, cruel, cad.

55. Let's all grow up here, this is very difficult. No matter what, Ana was a mother. Who cares what she's done? She loved her son, and did the best she knew how. As a mother of 3, I cant begin to imagine the pain she will go through.I thank God, everyday that my children are with me. For all of us that are parents, I'm sure theres no greater pain in life, than the death of your own child.

56. I would just like to extend my deepest sympathies to Anna and her family at this time, Speaking from recent experience the death of a loved one is the hardest thing anyone will ever have to go through even harder is one of a child. It does'nt matter what type of person you might be or how you act in the public eye, Anna is a person-a mother that has just lost her child. Show some respect... Drew, Joseph, Kevin B and all you other future inconsiderate idiots.

57. I've been think about what caused Daniel's death and i've come up with several quacked out theories of my own:
1) after years of being his mothers only true love and object of affection, daniel dies of a broken heart knowing that his mothers attentiveness will no longer be solely his.
2) living many years with his mothers erractic, moronic and sensless ways daniel overdoses knowing that living with a his mothers actions with a new child would be too much to bare
3) after many years of companionship daniel and his mother, for one breif night, spend a night "together" and it results in Anna becoming pregnant.... knowing that the truth is too much to live with Daniel overdoses in the hospitol room after realizing that he could not live with the shame of having a little sister who is also his DAUGHTER!!!
4) being born from 2 white trash parents Daniel dies of a rare genetic disease that affects white trash
while it is sad that Daniel is dead, I don't feel anything for Anna... its not cold hearted its being REAL... to me she is a worthless nobody...talentless and annoying... I feel sad that a young life is gone without reaching it's potential, but I don't feel the least bit of compassion for Anna...my only wish is that it should have been her that was found dead.

58. Tis a shame the Young Son , Daniel.. But an autopsy should bring it out..
As for Anna Nicole-- I really can't see any steadfast or Motherly type personality.
She has been such a joke to the Public.. Her Money was so important..
She has not learned,,Money doesn't buy friends, but they can surely bring her many enemies..
Very sorry about your son..

59. What is wrong with all of you??? Regardless of the spectacle this woman may have made of her life, she's still a mother; a mother who lost her child for God's sake. I pray none of you ever have to experience that kind of loss.

60. He probably died of shame at having an altogether hideously unattractive, money-grubbing whore for a mother
