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.

76. Howard Stern, himself, said on the Larry King Live interview, that HE was the 3rd person in the room, that Coroner Linda Virgill spoke about, and that there was no "mystery" about it. Stern said all the hospital personnel and the authorities knew that HE was the 3rd person in the room when Daniel died (Anna, Daniel, Stern).

Soooo, WHY would TMZ plant a story about Ben Thompson being the "mystery man" in the hospital room the day that Daniel died?

What is the agenda here?
It is clear that TMZ is trying to imply that Ben Thompson had something to do with Daniel's death, to deflect attention away from Stern. Disgusting and manipulative! And knowingly and intentionally deceptive and malicious.

Excerpt:

KING: What was the biggest misconception?

STERN: Of how the media has reported it? KING: Yes.

STERN: ......... (clip) The way that Magistrate Virgil used words like "suspicious" and "not natural" when she's, you know, she's legally trained. She's not a doctor.

You know, people don't understand that the coroner here in the Bahamas is different than a coroner in the United States. The coroner in the United States is a doctor and actually would be the pathologist who does the autopsy and that's not the case in the Bahamas.

Just, you know, other -- the way that she had said, you know, initially that there may or may not have been a third person in the room. It's up to the jury to decide and then followed that up with saying that she knows who the third person in the room was but, you know, didn't want to prejudice the investigation.

When I had been in the room the whole time, you know, from the time that Anna had given birth and all the hospital personnel knew that and, you know, all the authorities knew that. I was actually the person who gave the initial police statement.

77. Why is Howard still living there, if supposedly Anna never paid all the money for the house. Also, shouldn't Howard get a job. He is a parasite and lives off everyone. I have mentioned this before, but since Howard Stern (being an attorney) been investigated because of all the medications that were found in the room in Florida. in his name. If the psychiatrist was, why wasn't he.

============================================================

He was there when Daniel arrived, stayed till around midnight, he had as much chance as anyone to put something in a drink! There was a bunch of drinks on her nightstand as pictured in the Hosp. photos with Daniel!

Why does this guy always get cut a break... he was the one who mentioned getting Anna a place and help before she came to him... Shelley was the one who suggested the Bahamas...all this is a fact!

He gets them a house in the Bahamas then when Daniel dies he turns against her and has friends put out affidavits about Larry is the dad and drug use (methadone) so it looks like her fault...serves her eviction papers day after Daniel is buried. Give the National Enquirer stories about flushed pills, drug kits and so forth.... come on... ever wonder why? If he didnt like Stern why get involved in the first place?! All he did makes no sense.

79. G-d Bless Ben Thompson and Ford Shelley for having provided shelter for Anna Nicole at what appeared to be a most challenging time of her life and the further revelations that her bank accounts (though likely a ruse) had been drawn down. Wonder how the personal lawyer can look into a mirror at himself though some psychologists have inferred (without seeing him for direct diagnoses) that he may very well be a psychopathic narcissist with no soul conscience.

May justice prevail on behalf of Daniel, Anna, Ben, and his son-in-law!

80. Howard, I admired the way you always had Anna's back...even in her death you are always there for her. You were the only one who truly loved her! I hope to give you a hug some day and just tell you things will get better. Anna always trusted you and she knew you were the strong one. Take one day at a time and remember to enjoy life along the way. Sending you love and heartfelt wishes for good things to come your way,

81. We all know who the mystery man was in the room when Daniel died and it was Howard not Ben. Now get this site removed. It is a LIE!

Posted at 11:56PM on Sep 16th 2007 by Peggy

82. Get over yourself Peg, yeah theyre gonna take down the site at your insistance...

I dont think your representative of all the bloggers that float in and out of this site who may not know WHO the family friend was who visited with Daniel the night before he died... stayed till around midnight and was there on his say-so the day he died (below)..

Thompson stated in the excerpt below that HE WAS there the day Daniel died!! If Rita saw a picture, then Shelley/Thompson crew must be in possession of them! Who knows given the tragic state Anna was in if those pics were taken to appease her till they could sedate her.. Horrible, stealing the most private belongings of a dead woman.

------------------------------------------
26991. Pictures:

BEN WAS IN THE ROOM when Howard took the pictures of Anna and Daniel (with the tube in his mouth) Those last few pictures were held back and were not part of the final pictures of Anna, Daniel and DL that were sold. Rita herself says that she has seen those pictures and that there are others who have seen them and ALL are repulsed.

Get this man a crown

"Remember Ford Shelley? The Drama Queen who stole all of Anna's belongings out of the Horizons Mansion (which he owns)? He was on "The Record" tonight claiming that Howard snapped pictures of a dead Daniel and they were on Anna's computer. The idea was to profit from the sale of the pictures. These pics along with the computer are with the police right now being examined. If this is true, Howard has some splaining to do. The inquest into Daniel's death begins Monday in the Bahamas."

"Rumors are going around that pictures of Anna posing with a deceased Daniel are up for sale. Ford Shelly reported that he found pictures on Anna's personal computer, (which he stole)! taken of Daniel soon after his death. Now it looks like Ford... I mean an undisclosed person, is shopping around for the highest offer for these pics."

83. I've followed Anna'scareer for a long time,and one thing I know is that she trusted her son & Howard S only. All of these so called friends need to follow Howard's lawyer's instructions & stop the lies! Most of them have like Ford Shelly etc.... Howard Stern refrained from fighting back while so called Friends slammed Anna in the news....He was the the only one who was truely mourning for her & her son. God Bless Him!! CB in MI.

84. Rita Cosby is a News Anchor "has been " who has to write a cheap book of lies to make a Dollar! The public knows that Vergie's fat behind is in on this too! So what we have here is Anna 's 2 fired female employee's, And a so called friend Jack- ...ie (who's sicko brother stalked Anna), the the skanky "Opry" -attorney who wanted all the credit & Publicity , but prevented 2 men who Anna loved from trying to work things out during a difficult time. Those who kept track of Anna's life ---Know that She would want Howard & Larry to maintain a civil relationship for Dannielyn sake.
I'm very proud of Larry & Howard. CB

85. So much for Ford Shelly being quiet! I guess He needs a dollar! So what if Pictures exsist---- I've heard & read where other families have taken pictures of dead loved ones before. Ford Shelly is a bottom feeder! If he was such a true friend of Anna's ,He would'nt have broke in into her house and steal precious painted pictures that belonged to Dannielyn from her MOM. All ofthe hateful things they did was'nt directed only towards Anna & Howard------It was clearly done to an innocent child "Dannielyn"!!! Now that's Abusive . Karma has a way of catching up with those who take advantage of the innocent & the dead !! CB

CB,

Heres the reason Larry is now getting a royal pasting, he broke free from the pack!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"PINDER is the Bahamian lawyer for Thompson and Shelley. The two baby nurses were also originally being represented by him at the inquest.The nurses said they were being paid to lie. Pinder now says he will no longer be representing them at the inquest. The two nurses have changed their story and have a new lawyer (named Thompson), but say they are frighten for their lives.

PINDER SAYS on the video that (((THOMPSON, SHELLEY, LARRY AND VIRGIE ARE IN CONSTANT CONTACT. LARRY IS USING ONE OF THOMPSONS LAWYERS IN THE BAHAMAS FOR THE PATERNITY CASE.")))

87.
will stop at nothing to destroy an innocent man's life! A man who gave Anna shelter when she had no money while having to feed and dress her personal lawyer.

You people are vile and ruthless as you and AH attempt to cast a false image on behalf of this man. Know that someday you will all experience great karma and, hopefully, it is in this lifetime so we can all witness your melting away!

Posted at 8:54PM on Sep 21st 2007 by Some people are self-loathing and, therefore,....

88. 87.,

Dont make me laugh, these people are RAILROADERS. If they didnt want to get involved they shouldnt have. Why send Anna off to the Bahamas, then pull the rug out from under her in her most desperate time?? Dont kid yourself, from the time Daniel died, there plan to cast Stern as the villain went into action. Shows on Greta, stories to the National Enquirer and affidavits about drug use, Larry & methadone. Wake up and smell reality. They threw themselves into the spotlight robbing a dead womans possessions and plastering it all over the media, if theyre scrutinized its their own fault!

Posted at 12:32PM on Sep 22nd 2007 by Lynda

89. "Wake-up and smell reality"....

Would suggest the greater part of America understands "reality". You people have a mindset and a handful of ethics completely unlike that of the average American! We don't lie, cheat, or steal to get "things" or "property" via lawsuits, forum shop, live off loop holes in the laws, do not drug or enable the people around us, and make honorable livings to provide for ourselves and families.

Posted at 11:33AM on Sep 23rd 2007 by Why are they so afraid of this man?

90. It is no surprise to anyone that HOWARD STERN is involved. If Anna did not finish paying for the house, why is Howard still living there probably grubbing as usual. He should renovate the house that Anna bought so that it could be liveable. I don't care if he lives outside the house. Till he is physically thrown out out of the Horizon, he will stay there forever. He is a parasite and a grubber - which is no surprise to anyone. If he is a lawyer in good standing, he should get a JOB!!!!!!!!!!!!! If Ford Shelly is definitely the owner, why hasn't Howard been thrown out. Something doesn't sound right.
