Celebrity Justice
Daniel Smith Inquest Delayed by Tropical Storm

Posted Oct 30th 2007 2:23PM by TMZ Staff

The inquest into the death of the son of Anna Nicole has been delayed until November 19, because of the approach of tropical storm Noel.

About 35 witnesses are expected to testify before the seven-member Coroner's Court jury during the inquest into Daniel Smith's death. Magistrate William Campbell says the jury's only duty is to determine the cause of death, and says police have no evidence of homicide.

Anna's mother, Virgie Arthur, and several members of her family were in the Bahamas for the hearing. Smith's partner and lawyer, Howard K. Stern, was not.

Daniel Smith died Sept. 10, 2006, while visiting his mother three days after she gave birth in a Nassau hospital to her daughter, Dannielynn. A private pathologist hired by the former Playmate concluded Daniel died from a combination of drugs -- including methadone and antidepressants.

-----------------------------------------
Just let it go? What if that was your son? You just do not let a suspicious death go. Daniel deserves better. Two healthy people dead. That deserves an inquest.

15. Magistrate William Campbell made it clear to Jurors that Police have NO EVIDENCE OF HOMICIDE. The Inquest can consider asking for criminal investigation if Jurors feel negligence is involved in Daniel's death.

Negligence particularly in the actions of the many people around Daniel in the crucial hours before his death.

Repeat - you heard it from the Magistrate now - NO EVIDENCE OF HOMICIDE.

FS/G. Ben - fuel up that private jet and be in Nassau in 3 weeks! All the other people around Daniel are cooperating with authorities.
