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.

3571. "Anna's wishes" were that Dannielynn not be in Larry's life.
Just like "Anna's wishes" were for Daniel to not be in Billy's life.

It takes two people to make a baby and one is the mother and the other is the father. Children have the right to know both parents. "Anna's wishes" ? Were they always the best for her children? Billy may not have had the ability to fight for his child like Larry did but if Anna had not passed away who is to say that Larry would have been in Dannielynn's life by now. Remember that Larry never saw Dannielynn until after the funeral.

3572. That poor woman has been treated like total crap for 2 years now and it's time to stop the madness that is hks and his ILK (lol) the things him and his crowd have done to Anna and her entire family is despicable and the LAW that has allowed it should be outlawed....

All that poor woman has to do is go home and just be a grandmother if she wants the madness to stop. My guess is she doesn't want to. I go back to my previous words that VA doesn't stand a chance in any court because of her past actions,imo. Oh, and I don't think you can out-law the law, say what!

It has been proven that you use many monikers. Piss off schizo you talk so much crap you have convinced yourself it is truth.

3574. i agree totally dink.. the "anna was always there when danny was "is lame..if she was always there how did she work and spend all of that time with missy and others??? virgie took care of danny just like she loved and took good care of anna and all of her children...plus in missys book she said anna woyuld make a call every night to say she wasnt going home..that call was to virgie who was taking care of danny anna's son....some people just cant see the forrest for the trees...and some never will...

3575. 3565. Hi Dink!!!! I sure do miss you ,how have you been? you are absolutely right,all it would have taken was for mrs arthur to pretend to agree with annas lifestyle to get back in her good graces...she chose to wait it out until her daughter came to her senses as im sure she would have if not for the forces against her...

Posted at 1:17PM on Apr 22nd 2008 by say what



Things are good here---hope with you too!


I think it was totally Anna's wish not to have a relationship with Virgie, a decision many addicts make when a person disagrees and calls them on their choices.....nothing unusual about that.

Virige, like you said respected Anna's wishes. Anna was an adult, she had her own child to raise. We'll never what, if anything, Virgie might have done in the beginning to try and have a realtionship. But sometimes the strongest love is walking away from the addict and hoping they come to their senses. What PROVES that to me is Anna not wanting her daughter to have any realtionship with her father----and she didnt even care if DL KNEW who her father WAS!!! To me, that speaks volumes about why Daniel and Virgie, Daniel and Billy, and Anna and Virgie had no realtionsip.......it was "Anna's wishes". IMO Anna came first with Anna and anyone that didn't like it, was gone.

It's really none of Howard's business either. Howard was ANS lawyer, that's it, when his client died he should have just went away, but he didn't did he. He has no right to DL or anything else to do with ANS, his job was done the day she wound up dead. He has made himself front and center of all the money. He sure is looking after DL every which way he can now isn't he because now she is his meal ticket. DL does not need Howard to look after her, that is what her biological father is supposed to be doing, but then again we all can see how he is looking after her.


Don't know what it leaves DL and neither do you and it is none of our business, is it! Howard will look after Dannielynn every which way he can, so stop the soap opera now, it aint working.

*************************************************************************** WRONG! all that poor woman has to do is stop asking questions about how anna and danny died and let the boys have everything her daughter worked hard for that should now be dl's ..i personally would lose alot of my respect for her if she did stop asking questions ...what past actions? trying to find out why her only daughter and her grandson are dead?? and laws that allowed this travesty NEED to be outlawed...and should never ever have been laws in the first place...

Obviously you are not seeing the big picture here.

And Virgie's long way around is by suing ET and HKS and unknown bloggers for slander? I'm not getting how this is going to give her or you the answers you think she's after. Come on, Gtobrat, those questions you mention have been answered, maybe not to your satifaction, but good enough for the courts. Sorry, I don't believe Virgie's after answers anymore.

3579. Hi Dink

How are you on this gloomy day?

I agree with you completely. WHY would Anna leave her beloved ,helpless son in the hands of an abuser? My husband never allowed our children to be left alone with his father. Not for five seconds, let alone five years. Anyone who truely was abused would be the same way. Anna knew at that time in her life, that Daniel was better off with Virgie. She knew in her heart that Virgie would love Daniel and care for him. I think at some point, Anna became jealous of the relationship that had developed between Daniel and Virgie. We all know that she had a need to be loved, and sharing Daniel with anyone was not something that she would take easily.

Yes, it has been proven that false memories can be inplanted into someones memory. Then again, you have Anna telling this story so often, that she may have come to a drug induced point in her life that she herself believed them to be true. Sadly she is not here to set the record straight, or to make amends with her mother. She died on Howielied's watch, before she could find her way home.

Stop the BS nonsense. You have no idea what Dannilynn will end up with. Howard will make sure she will have everything her heart desires, including a good education.

And how do you know that it is only Virgie who wants to know about Daniel's death? Huh, where's your proof? You are one sick imbalanced biased puppy?

Maybe Virgie also wants the truth out there for Dannielynn.....so the false (and true) allegations against her that people so readily believe will be proven wrong. Maybe that will HELP Dannielynn one day when she reads all this stuff. Maybe it will help DL know who to believe and who to trust, and who is interested in truth over money......I have said many times that I HOPE that when Dannielynn is old enough to make her own decisions, she does just that. I hope she gives her maternal family a chance and gets to know about them for HERSELF, and doesnt judge them by the opinions of these other people that don't even KNOW her family........remember DL would not even know her own father if Anna had her way......doesn't that tell people a lot about Anna's views on Virgie and Billy? It proves the extreme Anna would go to to have HER way.

We both know that tiny only uses this moniker. We have been discussing this sad chronicle for a long time now. It does not matter what the more petulant people say, we know the truth.

UGH at the gloomy day---lol

That is the saddest part of all of this to me.....Anna not here to set the record straight. We can only hope that if she could have known where her choices would have left her and Daniel, she would have made very different decisions in her life. ESPECIALLY with her new baby......but then again, we see how Dannielynn's life was starting out already (before she was even born)......IMO DL wasn't first and maybe never would have been....even after Daniel's death, Anna thought some stupid house was so important that she fought for it before even burying her son. I'd have told FS and GBT to stuff their house sideways.....WHO cares about a HOUSE at a time like that???????? And loosing Daniel didn't soften Anna to the point that she realized her daughter had a right to know who her father was...........so maybe it's wishful thinking on my part to believe Anna would have chosen a different path if she could see the future.....we'll never know

Sometimes "everything her heart desires" is not necessarily the BEST thing for a person.............just sayin'
