Celebrity Justice
Daniel's Death Officially Ruled Accidental

A jury in the Bahamas investigating the death of Anna Nicole Smith's son Daniel has ruled it was caused by an accidental drug overdose, recommending no criminal charges be filed.


This verdict is huge because of what the jury didn't say -- that Howard K was responsible for the death.

The jury unanimously concluded Daniel died from "non-dependent drug use" -- meaning he wasn't addicted to what killed him.

3. This ruling is not a surprise to anyone. Everyone knew already Howard would get away with it. Question is where did
Daniel get the methodone - from who? He didn't come to the Bahamas with it. No one is surprised by this ruling.

6. Bahamas took the time to get to the bottom of this. All the money and corruption in the world couldn't interfere with the Bahamas doing a thorough investigation. Just like the Florida authorities with ANS's death.

11. Jury: Anna Nicole Smith's Son Died of Accidental Drug Overdose

Monday, March 31, 2008


NASSAU, Bahamas — A Bahamas jury has determined that Anna Nicole Smith's son died from an accidental drug overdose.

The seven-member jury recommended no criminal charges.

The jury deliberated less than two hours before returning the verdict Monday. The inquest began in November to determine what killed 20-year-old Daniel Smith.

The son of the former Playboy playmate died in September 2006 after coming to the Bahamas to meet his new baby sister. His mother died early the next year.

An autopsy found that Daniel likely died from a combination of drugs, including methadone and antidepressants.

14. As we remember Daniel's death, remember that today marks the 15th anniversary of the death of Brandon Lee, who died on th set of "The Crow" after a freak accident involving a prop gun.
