Hairdresser: Anna Popped Pills to Kill Stomach Pain

Daniel DiCriscio, Anna Nicole SmithAnna Nicole Smith's former hairdresser claims that his former client had a history of intense stomach pain that caused her to "black out," and would often pop pills to reduce the agony.

In an exclusive conversation with TMZ, Daniel DiCriscio, who had worked with Smith since 1994, said that he became aware of Smith's pain problems nearly two years ago, when Smith "passed out" during a haircut. DiCriscio says he remembers Smith complaining of "sharp pains in her abdomen" and having trouble standing up. When she awoke, DiCriscio claims that Anna rummaged through her purse in search of pain pills, and "pulled out one odd-looking pill and said 'this one must be Daniel's'," referring to her son.

Both Anna and Daniel died under mysterious circumstances involving various medications. Daniel was found dead in the hospital room in which Anna Nicole had given birth to her daughter Dannielynn just three days earlier. He had a combination of seven drugs in his system, including multiple antidepressants and methadone.

47. Beth, you are so right....Anna should be buried next to Daniel. Why else would she have bought two plots,which by the way will hold two bodies in each,when she bought Daniel's?

48. Want to find out who REALLY cares about the baby? Sign away any and all claims to the money. That will prove you want to raise and love her in a normal and happy family environment and when she gets older tell her about her famous and troubled mother.

49. We all feel we have views and comments to make.
There are a few things that Anna herself had expressed. One, she hated her mother, we do not know why and that is their business. We have all seen her on tv stating she did not want her mother touching the baby and stating how much she missed her son. Let the poor women be buried next to her son. Her "birth mother" is only doing all this for money and fame at her dead daughter's expense. The judge needs to tell her to buzz off........

50. Without meaning ANY disrespect or disgust, is it possible ( with all the sperm freezing and negotiating) that anna could have carried ( by invetro fertilization) Daniels child? Could that be why Stern is so quick to produce Annas will and so slow at produceing his own DNA sample? He KNEW what her will left to whom and to whom it would be going to. Also Marshall left Danny a great deal of money, where is it now? The childs name indicates it was named "after" Danny. Can Dannys DNA be tested now? iI this were to become a real scenerio, it would explain ALOT of the actions,secrets and mysteries. It has been indicated by more than one,and needs researched. Again i intend absolutely NO disrespect and wish only for Anna and Danny to rest in peace, the baby to be well cared for and not be traumatized by those that lived off her mother for so long

51. Kimmie, where are you? What happeded to your friendship with Anna? I'm sure that you are the missing link to the HKS relationship with ANS. I am so sorry about the loss of Daniel and Anna. What ever happed between you all does not take away the love you shared with this family.

52. I don't think many of these persons e-mailing tmz.com remember that Anna Nicole was a vulnerable person, one that apparently did not have anyone around her that really cared for her, physically, emotionally and spiritually. My heart aches for her, as I see her as a lost young lady that needed someone to care for her, and not how much money she made. Remember this innocent child that will grow up and have the wrong image of her mother, and not the mother that loved her very much. God rest her soul, I see her with Daniel in heaven.

53. Anna Nicole Smith
For the many who have said some of the most horrible things about her
I hope with some effort you can see she was a human being who made a share of her own mistakes
Each one of you without sin may you cast the first stone
She did what any woman (or many women) what have done with her beauty
she used it to be who she became. Another sex symbol.
It's ok for men to sleep around conquer women
but when a woman uses her sex to gain power, fame, money -she's a whore
a slut, no good.
I tell you she did well to use all she had to become famous. Kudos to her.
And does it matter what happen? how it happened?
No, what matters is to look at your own lives and fix you're own dirty secrets.
She led the best life she could-
I admire her for dreaming BIG and she made it.
Good for her, her time came, it was fate, her destiny that she left this world.
Let her rest..
And to those weepy eyed, Larry B. Howard K. S., her mother, the poison of of guilt will slowly eat inside, thats what poison does, we all know -the spectators who are watching the show, is about money, pure, plain and simple!!! who ever gets the baby stands to control $474 million dollars. And with time for those who did honestly care about her will win the the battle of the critics and haters. It is sad to see how the vultures fly about seeing what they could devour. What they could not get while she was alive, they will fight for now that she is gone-MONEY, Book deals, Movies, Posters, her image will continue to foster years of proceeds and feed the belly of those who will make millions off her name. There will be plenty of diseased bellys filled with that money and greed. I hope Anna can rest in Peace knowing she was right all along about anyone who tried to be-friend her, they all moslty tried to use her, I hope she and her son can rest in Peace.

54. I PRAY THAT THINGS WORK OUT FOR HOWARD K AND DANNIELYN. ALL I HAVE SEEN IN THE PAST, WAS HOWARD TAKING CARE OF ANNA. I PRAY THE COURT PROCEEDINGS ARE ALL IN HIS FAVOR. IT WOULD BE TERRIBLE TO TAKE THAT BABY AWAY FROM HIM. ANNA DID WHAT ANNA WANTED...REGARDLESS !!!
PULLING FOR YOU HKS IN LA.

58. I think the court should order all the 5 guys who are claiming to be Dannilynn's father to pay child support to her till she is 18 years old , since she is now without any family.

59. POOR ANNA NICOLE, I WISH EVERYONE WOULD JUST LET HER REST IN PEACE AND BE BURIED NEXT TO DANIEL. AS FAR AS HER MOTHER, I HAD A MOTHER LIKE THAT AND I THINK ANNA NICOLES MOTHER IS EVIL AND WHY DID SHE BLEACH HER HAIR JUST NOW WHEN SHE WAS A BURNETT BEFORE ANNA DIED. SHES A SICK PUPPY.

60. It's horrible- all the things people are saying about Anna. And Howard for that matter. He clearly loved her. Ever watch the reality show? I don't think he had anything to do with Anna or Daniel's death. Anna would never have had him by her side for all those years if she didnt trust him. And seriously, what the hell is her looser mom trying to come into the picture for???? money, thats what. Anna HATED her mother. Her whole family is trying to make money off of her. I think that after Daniel died, she just didnt care. Maybe thats why she married howard, and named him the father on the birth certificate. Maybe she knew she wasn't going to make it. I LOVED her. she took so much crap from everyone about everthing she did, and still turned the other cheek. Anna will be missed!~
