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.

61. I for one always thought that Miss. Smith was beautiful and I love her personality. Those of you who have made negative comments about her do not know her in person obviously. My advice to all of you is to stop and think before you say or type things that you wouldn't want being said to you. You know the Golden Rule still applies in 2006. Treat others as you would want to be treated.

Dearest Anna, I just wanted to say how sorry I am that you lost your precious boy. I am the mother of 3 children myself and I could not imagine the pain you are going through right now. If I could, I would be there for you for a shoulder to cry on. Your son will live on and he is in God's ever loving arms now. As someone above said before, I am too sorry that his untimely death didn't allow him to live out his life here on Earth any longer than it was. Please know that he is still with you. Everywhere you go, there he will be.

I congratulate you on the birth of your daughter. May God be with you and your family always and may you some how find peace and refuge knowing that God loves you and that our time here on Earth is not the end but, just the beginning. May God bless you Anna and keep you strong during this difficult and tragic time.

62. I have seen what all this people have written, and I think it is so sad that people have to down someone during a time like this. We should all pray for Anna and her family, not down (her). God has a reason for everything he dose, and it was Daniels time to go. So sad yes, may God be with you Anna and your family.

63. My heart goes out to her. It doesn't matter what type of person she is, no parent should ever have to go through the loss of a child. I lost my son, my only child, 5 years ago. He was coming home from a night of fishing and fell asleep. He hit a semi head on. They said he died instantly. We never got to view his body. The coroner said he was pretty bad.
After 5 years, it still feels as if I just received the call. Until you have walked in the shoes of a parent who has lost a child, you could never imagine the daily pain you have in your heart, the ache you have for the part of you that you lost, that sinking feeling that never leaves you. You never get over the loss of a child, you just learn to live with it.

65. I honestly feel bad about Anna's son losing his life, but you can only do so much dirt before God takes his vengeance. Anna is a horrible woman and feel so bad for her new daughter. This child doesn't have a snowballs chance in hell in growing up and becoming a productive member of society.

66. This is all sad. Regardless of who this young man's mother is and her reputation, he died. If it was due to drugs or alcohol, tragic "little boy lost" is what comes to mind. If it was for an unknown heart condition, non the less tragic. But it is easier to make peace to an unknown health condition then drugs and alcohol. Then people want to pass the buck onto his mother and look down upon her. It is easy to pass judgement.
So don't look at the who this young man's mother is for a moment and just look at who this young man is....was. Take into your life what the end result will be. If he died of drugs and/or alcohol then look at your family and friends and see if there is someone out there lost in this big world. Maybe you can inspire them to become clean.
This world is way too full of hate and speculation and accusations. Inside our own little world, in your surroundings, take charge of that.
Ok enough preaching.......just a few negative comments got me spinning a bit. Right now the only thing I am angry at is the fact I spilled bleach on my favorite red blouse. God Bless.............

67. Ok here's the "scoop" I am a friend of Kimmy (Anna's assistant) and she told me that Howard IS the father of the new baby and the baby girls name is Hannah Stern. Anna is sedated and keeps asking for Daniel, she said, "it is so sad" and Anna hasn't touched Hannah since Daniel died and thank God Howard is there to take care of her. He is blaming Anna for all that has happened and will come forward soon with his own story. He talked to Larry King and they are working it out.

68. you people are just stupid, who cares if you like anna nicole or not, she just faced a horrible tragedy and should be left alone to deal with it in peace. not only did her son die but she found him dead and had to watch the whole thing go on. how would any of you feel if that happened to you? so get over yourselves and just shut up.

69. I didn't know that Anna Nicole was pregnant! Who's the dad? Why was the child born overseas? I am totally out the box with all of this!

70. I feel that although Anna Nicole Smith is one of the most beautiful people and amazing personalities out there we should respect the fact that she is going through hard times. Everyone handles death differently, so how ever she acts or what ever she wears is her bussiness. The woman just had a baby and can't enjoy it like any other new mother does for she has the death of some one close to contend with, not to mention the fact that the death is the death of her son. The greatest pain a parent can ever know is the loss of a child. Millions of people die everyday and for many reasons, famous or not, and we don't publisize all of them, so why can't we just let Anna mourn? What about the baby? I'm sure that this tragedy is taking away from the attention that Annas new born deserves. Please let Anna get through this as easily as possible. She has enough on her plate. I'm with you Anna!!!!!!!!

71. Despite who you all seem to think Anna Nicole is, everyone must remember that she is a mother and the loss of her son has to be devastating to her. Anna Nicole has had her ups and downs in life as we all have and I myself admire her for all that she has done and continues to do. I can't believe that people stoop as low as to talk about her past, she has lost a son and her past has nothing to do with loosing what means the most to her.

72. To KIMBERLY MINER # 60--- So sorry to hear about your tragedy. I've always heard that losing a child is the worst pain there is, and I have 2 small children of my own and couldn't even begin imagine the range of emotions I'd probably go through if something happened to either of them. How sad people are using Anna as a punching bag at a time like this. Since when did we all become so perfect as to judge a mother's character and determine she deserves to have her child die. She wasn't even that "horrible" of a person...I've seen alot worse. What is happening to this world? Like Anna or not, to attack her at this time is despicable. Sorry I got off track, Kimberly, I just had to vent.
I'm sure there's nothing a total stranger can say to comfort you, but I really am truly sorry for your loss.

73. How dare strangers who do not know Anna Nicole make disparaging remarks about her in this time of sorrow. She is an entertainer, and assuming that you know anything about her or her relationships with her family is ludicris. But worse the fact that people, and you know who you are, would make hurtful remarks in anothers time of sorrow, sadly says volumes about the type of person you are, and leaves you no room to say anything at all about Anna Nicole. I pray that the lord will be with her, and that she will find comfort in those nearest her and her fans who do love her.

74. I empathize with Anna at this time, my son was killed 07/03/2006, he also was 20, it is out of the natural order of things for a parent to bury a child, it is incomprehensible. The dark hole you fall in is unreal I am still climbing out. I also know when you give birth to a child, because of the hormones leaving your body you are in a state of highs and lows. Please give her a break whatever image she portrayed to make money, she is still a mother her first job, dont judge her, I wouldnt wish this on anyone. Losing a child is a parents worse nightmare, pray for her, when you imagine how bad it is believe me its worse.

75. PEOPLE, PEOPLE,
I'M A MOTHER OF 2. A SON 20 & A DAUGHTER 17. I WOULD NO DOUBT DIE ALONG WITH MY CHILD IF I FOUND WHAT ANNA WOKE UP TO. IF YOU HAVE KID'S YOU WOULD UNDERSTAND. SURE SHE'S NOT PERFECT BUT NO ONE IS. BUT NONE THE LESS DANIEL LOVED HER AND SHE WORSHIPPED HER SON AND PROVIDED HIM A GOOD LIFE. HE WOULD NOT WANT ALL THIS NEGATIVE STUFF SAID ABOUT HER. SO PLEASE EASE UP OK. WHAT GOES AROUND COMES AROUND. IN THE END THE TRUTH WILL COME OUT. I'M THANKFUL HE GOT TO SHARE TIME WITH HER AND HIS SISTER.
