R.I.P.
Dannielynn is One, Daniel Gone One Year

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.

46. Thanks Harvery for remembering Daniel. We the readers do appreciate your kind gesture.

Today is the First Anniversary, of this handsome young man's passing. It is said that to God, people are like beautiful colorful flowers in the meadow. Sometimes God picks the prettiest of flowers and takes them up with him. Rest In Peace Sweet Daniel. You are truly loved missed and remembered. Handsome Daniel and His Beautiful Mother Are Smiling From Heaven.

I pray that Virgie and her family and friends of Daniel's are coping well. It must be so very sad for them. You are in our prayers and thoughts.

I hope there will be an inquest soon for this young man's death .

IMO

I'm usually pretty nice, or I try to be. But you need to get the hell out of here! A 20 year old kid is dead!

Rest In Peace Daniel

Inquest Inquest Inquest!

49. I'm in tears. That is the saddest picture. Bless that young man. I'm not going to stop bringing this to the attention of the authorities until there is justice for Daniel. Don't expect Larry to help. He is Howard's boy toy - he is so afraid of Howard. Howard tells him how high to jump and when - Howard is culpable. Howard is taking care of Larry like 'he did
Anna" and we all know what happened to her. Larry looks like he's drugged himself now -
well he's been around Howard - that's a given. Justice for Daniel and prison time for the person who played a key role in his death.

52. Larry stated that every negative claim against him was because someone had an axe to grind with him. That is an aweful lot of axes. Why do so many people have an axe to grind with you Larry? Everyone can't be wrong!! You better look in the mirror.

Posted at 5:54PM on Sep 10th 2007 by Justice for Daniel!!

53. Dr. Boden was on Greta the other night & said he thought Daniels death was a homocide.

54. Remembering Daniel on the anniversary of his passing. My heart aches after such a big party for Dannielyn just a day before her brother past. I am not sure what Larry was thinking but I do hope he takes Dannilyn back to the Bahamas today to be their with her brother. This is what is most important .... remembering Daniel too!

55. Carol, Whack, et al., please address the misleading (link) that has been attached to this particular blog as I'm on the run and do not have time to do so! Otherwise, drop-ins will assume that G. Ben Thompson is at fault. Maybe tender-hearted G. Ben Thompson can file his own defamation case against AH, et al.

We can now see our beloved HL has taken a prejudicial position.

Thank you.

Remembered -

Daniel Wayne Smith, you have so many mothers and grandmothers who are supporting you here in the third dimension! Your brief life and mysterious death has not gone unnoticed!

56. Daniel was not celebrating his "name sake" he went to celebrate the birth of his sister

Hannabel Rose Hogan. That is the name on the ORIGINAL Registration of Birth.

The Father was listed as "unknown"

57. RIP Daniel. It's so sad that your died so young no thanks to your mothers friend Stern.
Instead of them mourning your passing and your moms. They are still living off ANS
only by way of Dannielynn. The spineless Larry Birkhead had a lavish party unfit for any
one year old. He and Stern could care less of your passing -but the love the money!
You had Stern pegged.
I hope there will be an inquest- this death was truly senseless!

By INDERIA SAUNDERS, Guardian Staff Reporter.

Please take a moment to send an email to this reporter at

59. Happy Birthday Baby Girl-it's a shame your daddy and Uncle Howie killed your mom & brother

60. I don't know why some of you keep telling Larry to come clean & feel that Howard is controlling him. I think he was a lying deadbeat to begin with & doesn't need anyone to influence him. He's never had any money so I feel that's why he got Anna pregnant so he could have a claim on this child. He has a nanny taking care of her & just brings her out at show time.
