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.

17. The Bahamas did a piss poor job of investigating Daniel's death, first it was delayed then postponed time after time after time.And now it was accidental, "YEAH RIGHT" Howard k stern had "NOTHING" to do with it I think not. But of couse they are going to let that little weasel off the hook, how much did he pay them off.Stern did have more then "something" to do with it and he gets away with it.Must be nice to have 2 different kinds of justices in this country, if your rich or a jerk(like stern is) you get off with nothing but if your a regular person you go to jail. By the way is stern still living off mama and daddy now that he no longer has his free meal tickets to support him (Anna and Danielynn). Of course stern had something to do with Daniels death Daniel was wise to what stern was doing to his mother and was probably going to confront him that weekend but didn't get the chance. What goes around comes around .Stern is a dispicable excuse of a human being.

20. I believe HK also set up Anna with the clown makeup while she was stoned, and taping her then making comments about that video being a "moneymaker" She probably didn't even realize she had been made up. I can't count how many times My friends and I would do things like that to each other. HOW easy would it be to have someone handing you dope when you are already stoned? Daniel may have ingested those drugs himself, clearly someone he "trusted" was egging him along, and handing them to him hand over fist.... One day someone (HK!!) will really be held accountable...

22. Thank God its finally over.....Daniel and Anna rest in peace. Larry and Dannilynne may all God's blessings come your way as you raise your precious daughter. Virgie GO AWAY...its all over now...your dreams of cashing in on a daughter and grandson you had not even seen in over ten years has faded away. Love the family you have left and please don't make waves for Larry. You gave it one hell of a shot but in turn got shot down at every lie and all the dirt you tried to stir up. Again "Anna and Daniel rest in peace."

24. For all you haters, accidents do happen. This is why you need to know what your kids are into. And keep track of YOUR meds. because alot of kids are getting into them and getting busted, or dying. That is a big problem in the U.S., everybody wants to blame someone else for what the kids do instead of the kids.

26. Where did the kid get the drugs? This has not answered any questions? I hope Jerry Brown gets those answers!

Posted at 1:29PM on Mar 31st 2008 by How could he get that much methadone?

27. Howard S. Got Away With A Crime ........

28. Get over it. If they had found HKS Guilty of something you'd be blabbing how great they are. It was investigated and now it's over. oh, and about the clown tape, guess you didn't see the whole thing on Geraldo? She was PLAYING with F.S. daughter..
