Anna Nicole's Son -- The Mystery Deepens

pathologist in anna nicole caseTMZ was able to obtain raw footage of Cyril Wecht, the pathologist hired by the family of Anna Nicole Smith, giving his assessment of the current status on the autopsy of her son Daniel.

"The cause of death is listed as pending or reserved. Those two words being used synonymously," Wecht says. He also states that at this point in his investigation, he was not able to "find anything that would cause me to believe that there is something suspicious here in terms of traumatic injury having been inflicted."

16. it's so sad now; it's going to even more twisted sad when it's made public that stern is the father and not the guy who's promoting himself as dad.

17. I just saw the guy who claims to be the father of Anna Nicole's baby!! No wonder they broke up!!! tee hee! Never-the-less,he would probably be a more 'stable' parent!

18. No matter who you are or what is said about you..I admit over the years my opinion of Anna Nicole has been she is flaky and messed up. What happened here is terrible and I don't know if she is strong enough a person to get past this but for the sake of the baby I hope she is.
I saw the guy who is claiming to be the baby's father and all I have to say......what a tacky time to be "coming out" if he is. I don't see anything but self promotion at this time. If she acknowledged him then he would have been there for the baby's birth. It seems kinda like a Madonna thing with her first child...a sperm donor.
If he cared about Anna Nicole as he says and the baby he would sit back and shut up. She evidently doesn't want him in her life at this time if "he" is the father.

19. I think Howard K. Stern knows more about this than we will ever know.

20. Why do I think "Laughing at all of YOU", "Missy" and "Tiny" are all the same person. Way to pat yourself on the back! Sad little life uh?

21. I am so sorry for Anna Nicole! I really like her, despite what people say. She has done a lot of things that people do every day, and since she is a star that's when they go public. I watched her show and I could tell then that she had a lot of love for her son! And to think that her love was so strong and she was so devestated that she had memory loss! I hope that everything works out for her and her new baby girl. Rest in peace Daniel!

22. There's no doubt Anna Nicole loved her son. Despite what we may think of her and her behavior, she shouldn't have to bury her son. No mother should ever have to do that. This crap about what Daniel was exposed to growing up and the things Anna Nicole has done, what exactly does this have to do with him dying. Leave her personal life out of it. While I believe most of us wouldn't have done some of the things she has and "lugged" and "dragged" him around as one person put. The fact still remains that he may not have had the cookie cutter life we all would like to see for our children, however, Anna Nicole loved him. Maybe that was enough maybe it wasn't. I think Anna Nicole did the best she could to raise Daniel and made some poor choices that if she had to do them over she probably wouldn't have. My point is leave OUT what Anna Nicole did. I honestly believe she loved Daniel with all her heart and hearing you all bring up the crap she did or didn't do at a time when she is so incredibly weak is YOUR poor choice. Leave Anna Nicole alone and give her and her family the time they need to grieve. The last thing she needs is people throwing her past in her face. Dispite the things she's done, she certainly doesn't deserve to have her son die when she just gave birth to another child. Give me a break. Leave her alone. I hope this never happens to any of you. God forbid should someone dig up the skeletons in your closet.

23. Her son died.Why can't the public just leave her alone to let her grieve without the hassles.

24. I would like to start off by saying Anna you were the best mom any kid could have possibly have so i'm deeply sorry for your loss of Daniel. Just know that God is Good and he'll give you the strength to be the same mom for Hannah. Just remember always all the good times you had with him for thoose they can never take away from your heart. I wish there was some way I could help out with some of your pain. But I know you'll never give up. This may be the begining of a very long and bumpy road in your life. But never forget dont give up the fight. Always fight for what you believe in your heart as a mother will quide you in the right way. I also have two kids a boy and a girl so I can relate to you as a mom. So please never stop being the role model/superstar mom that you have been to many of us moms. With my deepest sympathy to you and your family from your biggest fan FOREVER.

27. This is such a sad circumstance. I feel so sorry for Anna Nicole. I wish the media would quit until the pathologist and the OTHER professionals have a complete statement to issue to the public. Let Anna Nicole grieve in private, and the rest of her family and friends . Take care Anna .

29. We all just need to give Anna a moment to grieve for Gods sake!!!!!!!! She was a incredibly loving mother to her child and I believe this new little baby will be the angel she needs now-God bless you Anna....

30. Anna obviously decided to have her baby out of the country for privacy reasons. The same privacy reasons the public may never know the real cause of her sons death. I'm sure Anna and the Dr.'s know what happened to Daniel and have signed confidentiality papers to keep it private. She can sue for millions if the story leaks with false information. Rather then speculate his cause of death, what is truly sad is that she has lost her son who was obviously her pride and joy. It's sad that stardom has ruined her life and that the paparazzi stalk these stars until they have to leave the country for peace. No one other then God is to judge what kind of mother she was. My heart and deepest sympathy goes out to Anna for her tragic loss she has paid a very high price for her fame.
