She had a son?? That was brand new information for me. Well, he's dead now. :\

" The death of Anna Nicole Smith’s 20 year old son Daniel Wayne did not occur due to natural causes.

Daniel Wayne was seen sleeping in a chair in his mother’s room last Saturday evening after travelling to the Bahamas to visit his mother and new baby sister.

He was seen sleeping in the early hours of Sunday morning, but when he was still ‘sleeping’ a few hours later a nurse was called, when he was found to be unresponsive doctors attempted to resuscitate him, but he was pronounced dead around 10am.

It had been though that Daniel had died from a massive heart attack, and Anna Nicole’s lawyer Howard K Stern issued a statement that said “we do not believe drugs or alcohol was a factor.”

However, Her Majesty's Coroner Linda P. Virgill revealed to People magazine: "The cause of death is not natural,"

"However, we wish to reserve the cause of death at this time pending the toxicologist examination and report for confirmation of cause of death. Friday is the likely release date for the autopsy and toxicology report."
"At this point in time, there were no external injuries that appeared on the body. It's difficult to give you something more without going into the full detail."
Coroners will now conduct an inquest and Anna Nicole will more then likely be asked to testify, Virgill added: "All persons who are relevant witnesses, like his mother and hospital staff and airline personnel who had contact with him, would have to testify,"

"The inquest would happen late October or early November to determine how, when and by what manner Daniel came to his death."

"This is standard procedure when there are sudden deaths and one should not imply foul play. It was not a natural death, but we reserve the cause of death until we receive the toxicology report."
