Daniel Smith Inquest Delayed by Tropical Storm

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.

48. As sad as it is, THIS INQUEST WILL NEVER AMOUNT TO ANYTHING. Too much time has passed and Howard Stern has bullied TOO MANY BAHAMIANS.

The Lord knows that Daniel's death was not an accidental overdose and hopefully come judgment day, the parties who played a hand in his death either by intent or enabling will have to answer for their actions.

50. It figures HKS wouldnt be there. I hope they finally put that man away for killing Anna and Daniel.

51. Everyone seems to forget that Daniel was hospitalized for several days back in late July early August. I am sure that if they found DRUGS in Daniel's system, being Anna's son it would have been front page news.

Speaking of Drugs. I have often wondered why OP told Larry that Anna "NEEDED THE DRUG TO LIVE". Autopsy mentioned thyrod problem that Anna had? Should of been on meds for that Synthrod,not mentioned in the multitods of drugs that Anna took. So Sugar Pie and I were wondering if maybe OP told Anna too, that she needed these drugs to live.Maybe she wasn't the addict that we are all lead to believe. Maybe she was just a women who wanted to live and was lied to.

52. IMO...That storm coming to the Bahamas is the guardian angels named Anna and Daniel to protect the man they loved named HOWARD K STERN who is being railroaded by Mommie Dearest, Clark, O'Q, DO, Hattan, FS, GBT, RC...ETC. You'll probably delete this because any comments that do not support your truth are deleted! Pathetic little Ritaaa and Mommy...may you all have a clear conscience when you meet your maker!

53. Who the hell cares who is paying Virgie's way!

What, it's ok that STERN DOESN'T HAVE A JOB and he's STILL mooching off Anna after she's dead and buried, but you're going to bash Virgie if someone is paying her plane fare to the Bahamas.

What a joke!!

54. People forget that Danial had spoken with a PI prior to there deaths when he and Anna were in the Bahamas. He said then that he didn't like Howard that He Danial actually feared for his Mothers life. So the PI said. Was he telling the truth? Who knows. Does anyone remember that?

I was sitting on my throne and thought of good OLD Jack Elmer Harding! Sitting on the throne is the best place to think of the players in this ‘Fairy Tale’!

This is how Jack’s card got into Daniels pocket and you are hearing it here folks for the first time.

I spoke to Ray Martino and he is as truthful as they come, no splitting hairs with Ray!
Ray told me that he did in fact introduce Daniel one day to Jack at a local coffee shop and it was as brief as ‘Hello and Good Bye’,

in that short meeting a card was given to Daniel…….END OF STORY!

People! how many times do we give cards out and never know were they will end up? Hundreds of time every year, some do it automatically, I dont as I never seem to have one with me and at this point in my life I dont care if anyone calls anymore! Interrupts my movie time!

Daniel never called this guy.

Posted at 3:51PM on Oct 30th 2007 by Jack Harding is untruthful

55. Tip, the people who take up for Howard have to be nuts or paid bloggers.

56. Howard Stern,Lincoln Bain, the Bahamian government, and that so called lawyer for the nannies all can't be trusted one bit. IMO they are all corrupt!!!!! Oh and you can throw in Aruba as well!!!!!
I'm going to vacation in the Virgin Islands or Puerto Rico where at least there is an american embassy if I need them.

57. Nazarian is a paid liar and criminal. Fart Hairless is jus another of the Gay Boy mafia of Larry, Howard and Ron Rale and Nazarian. Look it up. Nazarian admits he is a pole smoker like Larry and Howard. It's online!

Oh, Nazarian is also Gay if you did not know. Look it up! They are all GAY! No morals in these men who use women for their lively hoods.

Ron Rale is a short gay body builder that loves it from behind! Ask Howard... Larry is the girl in the bunch.

Posted at 3:58PM on Oct 30th 2007 by Nazarian is a Pole Smoker like Larry

58. The Magistrate has determined that the police have no evidence??? Thought the jury of the inquest determined this. Help me here. Those involved in these two deaths may escape being convicted in this life but they will not escape it in judgement. One day they will die and for eternity will burn in hell.

59. I think they ALL SHOULD TAKE POLYGRAPHS.

Howard to say HE DIDN'T GIVE DANIEL ANY DRUGS the night before he died. See if he flunks the poly.

Jack Harding to say HE DID RECEIVE A PHONE CALL FROM DANIEL AND MET WITH HIM. See if he flunks the poly.

Larry to say that he's NEVER HAD GAY SEX WITH ANY ONE. See if he flunks the poly.

Bet TWO OUT OF THREE OF THESE PEOPLE WOULD FLUNK!!!!

Can you guess which TWO WOULD FLUNK??

60. GTOBRATS/Yep Stern probably had something to do with that too. It's obvious Howie is hiding something, and he knows his time is just about over. Hope he rots in jail.
Lori yes your right. Daniel probably knew Howard was about to bump his mother off.
