Dannielynn is One, Daniel Gone One Year

Posted Sep 10th 2007 3:25PM by TMZ Staff

Little Dannielynn Birkhead just celebrated her first birthday with a spectacular Kentucky bash, but her happy day reminded many that her half brother and Anna Nicole's first child, Daniel Smith, died tragically at age 20, one year ago today in Anna's hospital room in the Bahamas. To many, it began a downward spiral ending in Anna's drug overdose in a Florida hotel just five months later.

On Sept. 10, 2006, Daniel was found by Anna, unconscious in the hospital room in which she was recovering from giving birth to Dannielynn. Daniel had arrived in Nassau just 11 hours earlier to help celebrate his namesake's arrival. Toxicology reports said that an unfortunate combination of prescription anti-depressants and methadone caused his death.

One year since his untimely demise, an official inquest into Daniel's death has still not begun, and its start date continues to be delayed.

17. Stern is a blood sucking leach and somehow he's still living off of Anna's dead corpse.

18. He's still living off of ANS's corpse because he's really a "maggot".

19. You're some of the worst crack heads I've ever heard of. I hope no one ever suspects your asses of doing something that you know you didn't do. Even if you didn't do it, they need to put your ass away for the pure hell of it. Don't investigate, don't do anything, but put your ass in prison or bring the needle and inject you.

21. Thank God Howard kept them alive as long as he did. Howard is the only reason they lived as long as they did.

22. now now now Daniel was old enough to make decisions. Stop saying Stern is to blame if Anna was not forced to move to the Bahamas from Birkhead threatening her with paternity none of this would have happened.

24. This is still so sad! No matter how ANS lived and behaved - it still breaks my heart that she lost her son! I can't imagine the pain she was in and how much of a loss she felt even though she had a new daughter in her life. I think they need to drop the inquest and let ANS and Daniel rest in piece! Nothing can bring them back and I don't think anyone person in particular is to blame! RIP ANS and Daniel!

26. Howard and Larry Sue BirkGivesHead are disgusting! What about the inquest Larry? You gonna come to the plate and tell all on Coward? If you don't tell the things you said in Florida, you are a backstabbing loser! I am beginning to believe Opri now! You better tell all on Coward Larry you maggot! You are so disgusting with that birthday party! It was for you not Dannilynn... Was Dr, E and Howard there? Did she write you a prescription of Vicodin? Your favoritie? or is it COKE? We all see you and your mouth grinding away like a coke head...

27. I'm glad you decided to mention that his inquest is still being delayed. You should have mentioned that Stern is keeping it delayed.

Posted at 5:00PM on Sep 10th 2007 by Daniel does deserve mentioning

28. I just hope that someone has visited this poor boy's grave today in remembrance....

29.
WHO IS GOING TO GET HOWARD?!

That psychopath needs to nailed, put behind bars... What is taking so long? Two people in his "care" perished of drug overdoses - that they themselves did not administer! What is the mystery here, folks? It is a severe travesty of justice!

Check out the line of thinking at www.questionablebehavior.com - just one of the excellent sites continuing to fan the flames of fact (and sorting out the fiction) of this wretched twisting and turning of events.

30. Mark Hatten's suit is coming. Perhaps some justice will prevail there for Daniel and we won't have to wait for the Bahamas.

As for LB, how pathetic. He is disgusting. Amazing what money does to people. I'm glad all this got out before the final custody hearing. Don't know if it's bad enough to take someone's child from them, but .... there's always Vergie.
