Cops Have More Questions for Howard K. Stern

Posted Nov 21st 2006 4:31PM by TMZ Staff

Howard K Stern Contrary to published reports, the investigation into the death of Anna Nicole's son is far from over.

Law enforcement sources tell TMZ that the Attorney General of the Bahamas ordered police to re-interview Howard K. Stern regarding the painkiller methadone, and how it ended up in the late Daniel Wayne Smith's system.

Daniel died September 10 in his mother's hospital room, just days after she gave birth to a baby girl. An autopsy revealed that Daniel had a lethal combination of drugs in his system, including methadone and several antidepressants.

Sources in the Bahamas tell TMZ that Royal Bahamas Police interviewed Stern two weeks ago. It's not the first time Stern has been interviewed. Law enforcement sources say Stern and Anna Nicole were both interviewed several times after Daniel's death.

We're told that law enforcement officials will make a major announcement about the investigation by December 15.

1. The kid was messin' Howard game up and Howard did away with him.
Now he's got the crazy bitch all to himself.

2. WOW...well, I just want the truth and only the truth to come out. I doubt if we'll ever know for sure what happened.

R.I.P. Daniel

4. Dec 13 is date for paturnity suit, hopefully Opri will get the permision she needs to move forward with the DNA test................so that if there is an arrest, the baby will be taken care of. I have good reason to belive they are working together to cordinate court issues.........eviction and deportation is probably last on the list which makes good sense.........like it or not Bahamian people are stuck with them until these matters are taken care!

5. If Howard had anything to do with it I am going to be shocked.
I don't think it is funny at all. Anna lost her boy for anyone to lose a child it is tragic. I wish everyone would just leave her alone-

6. Unless there is footage of someone forcing drugs into that kids mouth I don't think you'll be able to say who did what and when. all of these people deserve each other.

7. I think there may have been some negligence at play here. Maybe Daniel was wound up from his travels and either Howard or Anna offered him something to calm down without realizing the consequences. It is pretty well documented that Anna Nicole used methadone way before her son died with it in his system.

8. Yeeehawwww! Now we're gettin' somewhere. I am going to be on the edge of my seat for another few weeks, that sucks! Hope to be hearing updates between now and then. Cannot wait until these crooks have to answer for some of their actions. This is all one big chocolate mess!! The saddest thing about it is it could have all been avoided if these people knew how to live like normal human beings with humility and morals and a touch of honesty. What a shame!

9. I believe that IF they can prove HKS gave Daniel the pills. He can be charged with manslaughter or negligent homicide. Maybe HKS told the police that he gave Daniel the pills to help with some kind of pain. Never know, maybe he did thinking it would help the close the case. Whoever gave those pills to Daniel should go to jail for contributing to a minor. Even though Daniel was 20 years old. He is still a minor.

Maybe HKS put the pills in his food/drink while he was out getting them food. He said that he went out and got them all something to eat. Something is VERY fishy down there.......................

10. It's a shame that some people forget that your children are yours til the end. Just because they can drive, drink, gamble do all things legal doesnt mean you let them loose. Some kids need more support than others and parents need to recognize that.

Hire them, include them in your life more than just phone calls or mailings. Notice independance and dependance with your family. This kid definately needed more than he got obviously.

It's shame so many people have to learn the hard way to make a change.

12. Anna and Howard both know where those drugs came from! This is the reason they are closing ranks now........to protect each other.

I believe it was an accident, but they know what happened to Daniel. I hope the truth comes out.
