Mystery Man in Anna Nicole's Hospital Room

TMZ knows the identity of the "mystery person" who was in the hospital room the day Anna Nicole Smith's son Daniel died. It's G. Ben Thompson.

He's the dude with whom Anna Nicole had a brief affair -- the same man Anna tried to trick into believing Dannielynn was his baby. Anna's scheme was torpedoed when Thompson informed her he had a vasectomy two years earlier.

Thompson says he still owns Horizons, the home Anna and Howard lived in when they moved to the Bahamas. Ultimately, Thompson tried to evict Anna and Howard, claiming they were squatters. Howard still lives there.

61. Ron Rale told Harvey Levin, Ben Thompson was not in that hospital room when Daniel died. Why is this up for discussion?

64. You know, this is better than a soap opera! Thompson is ugly. I thought that he got rid of Howard, but it was okay for the others to stay. I'm sure glad that Larry was clear headed enough to KNOW THAT HE WAS THE FATHER, and fought for his rights. He appears to be a decent guy, it's obvious he loves his daughter, and I think Dannielynn looks like both parents. Dannielynn is a beautiful child and I hope she continues to be happy and healthy. I'll be glad when all this is over - houses, who gets what, Vergie and everyone involved in this mess.

65. DEAR 13. The Horizon home was Anna's and the courts are saying so now. Tompson was trying to pull a fast one on her. She was to pay him 950,000 but after Daniel died he wanted 1.250,000 because he thought she would pay. Anna had a deed showing the cost of 950,000. Tompson thought she would move out and then he was going to sell the house for 10 million. Tompson has not shown up for court 3 times. He knows he will have to account for break in.

WHAT??? The Horizons home was NOT anna's, it was put in her name as a favor (from Thompson) for her residency only!!!! That family was very good to Anna and she screwed them too. I don't care what the court papers say. Thompson is a convicted felon (from over 20 yrs. ago, he did his time), so he can't own real estate in the Bahamas....
Also, regardless of what happened after Daniel died, the deal was that she would pay. It's a shame what LARRY is allowing to happen over there, he knows that house is Ben Thompsons. I guess anything for the almighty dollar, LarrySue, no matter who you hurt. Right????

You are shameful LARRYSUE BIRKHEAD !!! You don't deserve that baby.

66. Dear 61. Ron Rale told Harvey Levin, Ben Thompson was not in that hospital room when Daniel died. Why is this up for discussion?

Posted at 5:00PM on Sep 10th 2007 by EJ

Because, my dear, Ron Rale is a known liar, who can NOT be trusted..........

Posted at 5:41PM on Sep 10th 2007 by WHAT????

67. DEAR #49. This is old news. It's such crap. He just wants to try and claim Howard flushed pills. He's a liar. The deal with DL was that she asked him to SAY he was the father. She didn't try to convince him he was. Howard took care or Anna until the end. What always makes me wonder about people who say he's guilty of something. Why would he not wait until they were married in two weeks before he did anything? The man is not stupid. He loved Anna and tried to do what Anna wanted, keep the baby away from Larry. Now they have to fight these stupid rumors and there will be more nonsense written about DL's family for her to read when she grows up.


Didn't you read the will??? It excluded any future spouses too, HKS would not have gotten anything if he had waited and married her.

Remember, the will was faxed FROM Ron Rale to HKS 5 (FIVE!!!) days before Anna died!

68. The Supreme Court of the Bahamas issued a default judgement , in favor of GBT, on November 28 , 2006 in regards to the Horizon's House.

69. The dead can't defend themselves. Why can't they just leave this beautiful woman in one piece. She is gone. She has one little child who is being used for making money. This entire episode is one huge tragedy. When is Howard going to step in and say "enough"..please soon Howard.

70. I think it's all mighty fishy, that Stern is a dog, and a bad actor, there are claiming they're not lovers?, well they seemed to band together rather quickly, it's all odd, when it was reported that her son had died, it was said that Anna, cried out, you done this to him, Stern's not an innocent man. and I'm no Anna fan, somethings not right.

71. let anna go and daniel we all know that stuff is fishy just let evrything go i am tried of hearing about larry and howard and everyone else. when dannilynn get older she will know what a slut her mom was before she was born and after she died with all these "GUYS" that are saying they slept with anna. i pray when dannilynn gets older that she will never be like her mom she will have more respect for her self and body.

73. " No #5 ...Are you for real , there is no way Dannielynn looks like that Ben dude, Stick to
the facts..Larry has been proven to be the daddy..by a court of law, "Thank God"...Not by
Rumour and Inuendo...Other wise we would be hearing that , Miss Scarlett did it in the
Library with the candle-stick .. The only thing that needs to happen now is , putting this
situation to rest once and for all with the facts and truth for the sakes of "Anna , Daniel"
and for his namesake..."Dannielynn" *~*~*~

"Rest in peace", Anna and Daniel , "You are together at last"...!!!!

74. Rita Crosby thinks she can live on this book. Nobody wants her. FOX and MSNBC doesn't want her. Whats next. Working for Deb Opri. She is another joke like Rita. I used to like her but this is low, just ruined her career.

75. The link to the "Mystery Man" story under the story for this blog, is proven to be WRONG, by Howard Stern's own words. Howard told the media that he was outraged that the original Bahamian Coroner Virgill said there were 3 people in the hospital room and one was a mystery .... Howard said angrily that Virgill KNEW the 3rd person in the hospital room was HIMSELF. This can be verified in news articles at that time.

Ben Thompson was at the hospital to visit Dannielynn, and had gone back to the Horizons home, then came back to the hospital when he got word that Daniel had died. Ben saw HOWARD take his camera out and take photos of DEAD DANIEL in Anna's arms. Howard said in the Larry King Live interview, that a family friend (Ben Thompson) had left the hospital, then he went to get something for them to eat.

Ben Thompson had been in the room the day Daniel died .... but not at the TIME Daniel died, which is the clear implication in this TMZ story.

TMZ should REMOVE this false and defamatory story! TMZ knows, by Stern's own words, that this story is UNTRUE.
