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.

198. Are all these people on Crack, he was never around that , {son} he did not support him nor did he raise him... Where was he when he died... Anna took care of him .. He was Anna's anchor and who ever is paying for him to do this , should be shamed...Leave them alone , let them be in peace,.. Those people were not around them for many years , they should never have any rights to be doing this.... I think some one dropped them on their heads... Leave it alone , give it a rest.. All of them should have thought about them when they were live... then maybe things would have been different... Stop paying these people to pull this crap ..... Money does not buy dignity , pride, or love of a family member.....and to late now ..... so leave them be to rest in PEACE

201. They are already together in Spirit so now burying the son in Texas will give the living something to visit and this is the way it should be for the Father and Grandmother so Anna will be all llllll by her lonesome .

202. Daniel's body was taken to the Butler Funeral Home in the Bahamas awaiting transportation back to the United States. His death certificate was issued last week. The cause of death is listed as "unknown."

Meanwhile, here's what "The Insider" has learned about the second autopy conducted by renowned pathologist CYRIL WECHT last weekend.

Wecht tells us that Daniel was taking low doses of prescription anti-depressants at the time of his death, adding that the 20-year-old was being treated for depression that began about four to six weeks earlier. Wecht says it is still unclear whether the medication played a role in Daniel's death, but he says there is no evidence that Daniel died of a "suicidal overdose."

"The cause of death is listed as pending or reserved,"

205. Good God, let it go already!! Is there never going to be any peace for Daniel and Anna? If a judge approves this latest crap move then he/she should be shot. There has got to be an end to this saga. Let the poor boy stay where he is so his mom can be near him. Why is this guy all of a sudden the concerned father? Daniel said in an interview that he hadn't had anything to do with his father in years. It wouldn't surprise me to learn that Virgie was behind this as one last vicious slap to her daughter. The entire bunch should be in counseling.

You're completely correct. Anna let him "rot" for 3 weeks, then planted him someplace where he didn't want to LIVE, much less die and be buried. She buried him there ONLY because SHE was trying to avoid being served in America for paternity by Larry. What a loathsome mother. Her LOVE for her son was secondary to her own selfishness, deceit, and manipulations.

207. Yes Howard Stern testified that Anna had no life insurance but all that means is he committed perjury again.

208. Just look at Daniel's eyes in this photo! He is so sad while his mother poses with him like he is some prop. Not exactly a motherly bond. Free Daniel from this crazy carnival. Do not subject this young boy to being part of a tourist trap. Give him dignity. Don't let Anna Nicole keep him as her prop.

209. Sweet Merciful Zeus....Will it never end?? Let the poor mother and son rest in peace, already. There is no need!!! Vergie, you are one evil wentch...What goes around, comes around...you remember that. Karma is a bitch

210. And yet another jackass jumps on the bandwagon. I have never seen such disrespect and ignorance. Let Larry have the baby, and let them live as normally as possible. Enough already !!
