Will Anna Nicole's Son Be Exhumed?

Daniel SmithThe biological father of Daniel Smith wants his son's body exhumed and moved from the Bahamas to Texas.

In a letter obtained by TMZ, Billy Smith -- through his lawyer, Kara S.P. Butler -- is asking The Chief Magistrate of the Bahamas, Roger Gomez, "permission to have the remains of Daniel Wayne Smith (deceased) exhumed from its current location here in the Commonwealth of the Bahamas and to be transferred where his father and family reside in the State of Texas."

Anna met Billy Smith at Jim's Krispy Fried Chicken in Mexia, Texas, where they both worked as teenagers. They married in 1985, and Daniel was born the following year.

167. Daniel unlike his mother did not like the limelight. He wouldn't want to be part of a tourist plan. Anna Nicole loved the circus. Let her have her circus and give Daniel some peace from his crazy mother!

168. You people need to get your facts straight.

1, Under oath it came out that there were NO life insurance policies on ANS.

2. Billy Smith told the judge under oath that ANS should be buried next to Daniel. He also hasn't had any contact with him in the last 15-18 years.

3. Virgie Arthur's high priced lawyers (and who is paying for them anyway) are behind this. Any normal mother would give it a rest and put her own feelings aside and let ANS be buried next to her son, the one person ANS loved with all her heart.

4. Give Howard a break - all he is trying to do is try and follow through with what he knows that ANS would want. He has stuck with her through thick and thin for over 10 years. It came out in court that ANS was using drugs before she met Stern so she can't blame Stern for the drugs or the estrangement.

5. Hopefully, the funeral will go off tomorrow without a hitch and ANS and Daniel will be both able to rest in peace for good. Virgie is just upset that her meal ticket has been taken away from her. Good riddance to bad rubbish!

173. A daddy should have more right to his son being buried where he wants him than a minor half sister's guardian

ROTFLOL!!

175. Floyd Young GOD BLESS you for pointing this out :)

Now we ALL know that isn't going to happen. Howard would NEVER EVER EVER disrupt Anna and Daniel.

176. I can not f***ing believe this. I know Anna's mom and her lawyers are behind this. They have convinced Daniels dad by money to do this. This is sad. My father hasnt been in my life for 30 years, I will be damned if he ever has anything to say about where I should be burried. Damn them all. I hope Daniels father rots in hell with Vergie. I wonder how many people are going to profit from the death of Anna and Daniel, this is a sick world. I however was waiting for Daniels father to come forward with something, I had hopes that he was a good enough person to stay out of it. Damn you Vergie you fat cow. We all heard Daniels dad say he didnt want to remove Daniel from his final resting spot and now after all this he now wants to move him. When in the hell did it become ok to start moving bodies around ???? Sick, sick and triple sick.

177. Why do they want to put her deceased husbands ashes in ans coffin? could it be that maybe the baby is his and the dna of her dead husband will be buried with her?

179. now this is getting good. I hope he gets him moved where his family can visit him!

180. Are you kidding me? This man wanted nothing to do with this child when he was alive, now all of a sudden he thinks he has rights? Smells like a medaling ex mother in law idea to me. Anna buried her son where she wanted him. She raised this boy and loved him, it may not have been the way we all would have done it but you could tell she would have done anything for this child. Why can't people just leave it be? They tormented her in life and now they insist on doing it in death too! She hated her mother and she divorced Daniels father for a reason, as far as I'm concerned they all should go to hell!
