![Whitney Houston -- Prescription Drugs Found ... Possible Drowning [Exclusive Photo Update]](http://ll-media.tmz.com/2012/02/12/0211-hero-whitney2-248x127.jpg)
The inquest into the death of Anna Nicole's son resumed today in the Bahamas, with new testimony about how the former Playmate traveled with a cache of drugs in a Coach duffel bag.
Ford Shelley, a South Carolina real estate developer who once rented a house to Anna, testified today that when Anna came to visit, he and his wife found methadone in her luggage.
He also said on the stand that she had the drug in both tablet and liquid form, and that Anna Nicole traveled with a Coach duffel bag filled with drugs, although he admits he never "saw Anna personally take any of the medication."
Shelley called Daniel "a brilliant" and "awesome" kid who loved his mother, but found it difficult to deal with her fame.
Smith died in September of 2006 while visiting his mother in the Bahamas after she delivered his half sister Dannielynn. A coroner's inquest into his death was requested by the Bahamian government, although an independent autopsy commissioned by Daniel's family determined the cause of death to be an accidental overdose.

Why do you question Virgie's love for her daughter, yet you approve Anna and all the disrespect she has shown her son in her life and after his death? Letting Daniel's decomposing body lay on a slab in the morgue while she delayed the funeral, playing dress up for a fake wedding, jumping and frolicking in the ocean. Allowing him to see and hear things growing up that most of us try to shield our kids from. ...that I cannot accept.
Posted at 6:26PM on Mar 13th 2008 by Anna--no mother of the year herself..and not there when two people passed away
You really shouldn't speak ill of the dead.
Let sleeping bodies rest in peace...........:
I'm sure DL would much prefer to see her mom and brother buried in the states

You'll have to wait for Dannielynn to reach the age of 18. She can then make up her own mind. It's HER choice, not yours.
I think they should both just rest in peace, together, in the Bahamas.

I'm sure that is what Drew Peterson said about Kathleen Salvio, don't you? As for waiting until DL is 18, not if there is determined to be a crime committed, and I do believe that is close in coming.

We'll have to wait and see what they determine at the closing of the inquest.
2373. Tracy...I need to get back to you on this issue...my reasons do not follow your train of thought...My opinion begins with Anna's very controlled state of mind while in the Bahamas...I can not get past Anna's decision to allow Daniel to lay in the morgue for 39 days....that is NOT love...that is neglect of her son for reasons that I can not accept...IMO Anna was incapable of ratiional thought...so, I am going to re-think WHY it is that I feel so strongly about Daniel and Anna not remaining in the Bahamas....All power over Anna has been placed with HK$....and I adamently OBJECT to that!

Why do you question Anna's love for her son, yet you approve of Virgie and all the disrespect she has shown her daughter in her life and after her death? Letting Anna's decomposing body sit in the hot Bahama sun while she delayed the funeral, stomping on her grave, badmouthing her on national tv...that is not love. Not to mention the abuse and neglect Anna suffered growing up...that I cannot accept. Now you want her to further humiliate her by digging her up and dragging her and her son back to Texas. I am glad the power has been placed with HKS if only to keep that from happening.

Bea I do not agree with you that all the power is with Howard. He is executor of the estate and that involves finding and bringing all assets to the estate. And yes he has the right to sue anyone that uses Anna name or image, but the money won goes to the estate. DL is the sole heir of the estate. Howard can not move Anna or Daniel, that is now up to DL and her guardian for her mother. And Larry says he will leave it up to DL to make those decisions.
It is what it is and Anna and Daniel are buried in the Bahamas. The courts in Fla and Bahamas have validated that it was Annas choice. I never want to see them separated and especially for a grandmother that really had no part in his life or a father that really does not want Daniel to be separated but is being coerced by said grandmother and her attorney. Billy does not have a high mentality and was not part of Daniels life since the age of one.
I also do understand somewhat of Anna not burying Daniel for 39 days. part of that his body was not released to her. I personally know how it is to feel that once you put them in the ground they are gone forever and she could not deal with that. I think Anna was devastated and she really thought she was going to stay in the Bahamas, and wanted Daniel right with her.
I also read where someone said that Howard was more concerned in buying a boat than burying Daniel. They did not purchase a boat until Jan. 4 months after Daniel died. I think the commitment ceremony was more as a quick thought because her mother and Larry and SC group were threatening her with everything and they wanted to show them that they were united. But I also do think that Anna cared very much for Howard and he was her savior. I think they really would of gotten married.
If Larry and Virgie, Ben and FS would of left her alone for a while so she could mourn properly she might not of went off the deep end and made better decisions. But I see as a strong woman who did make her own decisions. Would you want your mother to take your son and bury him where she wanted and split you up because she did not like your choice? All Virgie is doing seems to me is spiting in Annas face and I find that disgraceful.
Mother of the year I totally agree with you.

I am not Bea but I will answer your comment anyway. First of all isn't that becoming of Larry to leave a decision like this up to DL, a baby who of course would not be able to make that decision until the age of 18? Also, I specifically heard HKS tell Seidlin the reason he and Anna had the ceremony is because they were under the impression if they married the could not testify against each other. I also read something from BS (Bonnie Stern) that she was supposed to fly to the Bahamas the day before the ceremony so she could attend the actual ceremony, however the actual wedding ceremony had been called off so that is why she did not go there. So, I don't know who you are and it doesn't really matter other than you keep trying to whitewash HKS and his great love for Anna as the excuse for every fowl thing he has done and you want to use FS and LB and Virgie as the cause of their problems. Anna's mother never threatened her when Daniel died and I cannot imagine when you are warning your daughter that if she wasn't careful she would be next, begging her to get help and get away from the drugs. Where is the so called threat in that? You also keep saying Anna made her own decisions, I don't buy that and many, many others do not either and that is why I sign myself saying I will not be brainwashed by you or HKS, caught him in tooooo many lies.

Hey Seidlin, is this you???
2389
If this is Seidlin, it isn't what it is. Kangaroo Court in Florida, how very, very sad.
153. Have to say one thing, HKS certainly didnt look unhappy at all, in that little video. When he passes by VA, without so much as a glance in her direction, he almost has a smile on his face.
VA does look like she has tried to improve her public image, but losing weight alone wont help. She still needs to make a public statement finally clearing the air about Dannielynn, custody, the money thing, all of it.
JMO.
Thanks.

Not to be mean or anything but she should just follow her lawyers advice in my opinion. The public should only learn about this through the court of law. Where people are sworn in and will be required to tell the truth. JMO That should be done by all the parties.
Tracy..I think you have decided to take a different name to discuss this issue with me...and I am cool with that, I think.
You speak cleary and with good common sense. AND surprisinly I agree with you on many of the issues you have brought up. I can live with whatever the ultimate outcome of the inquest...I CAN NOT and WILL NOT agree that Howard K Stern should have "ownership" of Anna. Anna has a family...and that family has every god given right to petition, if need be, God Almighty to bring Anna and Daniel back to them. Howard K Stern is not Anna and Daniel's family..quite simply he is the exector of Anna's will...that is all he is. I have never heard of an attorney that tries to take ownership of another man's child...another man's home...Anna's wishes...IMO HK$ work is finished concerning Anna...why is he still involved .. with Virgie, with Larry, with Dannielynn? HK$ had Anna for 13 years.... now he is Executor of her estate...period. That's all he is to Anna..a lawyer..
Tracy, our common ground will have to be JUSTICE...pray it will be fair and equal...Daniel..Anna's son who did not want to be left in the Bahamas....Damn...this sucks....I don't want to talk about it anymore...
