No suicide or homicide in Sonny Nicole Smith death
2006-09-20
NASSAU, Bahamas -- More than a week after her son mysteriously died beside her hospital bed, Anna Nicole Smith remained out of sight in the Bahamas on Tuesday as officials said only that his death was not a suicide or homicide.
That leaves natural causes, misadventure, shark bite, act of God, and voodoo, I think...
With toxicology tests pending, the official cause may not be publicly known before a jury inquest starting October 23. The 38-year-old former reality TV star, who gave birth to a baby girl three days before her son's death, is expected to be summoned.

Daniel Smith, 20, died the morning of September 10. By all accounts, he flew into the Bahamas the night before and went directly to the private Nassau Doctors Hospital, where staff saw him tending to his mother and newborn half-sister in the hours before his death. Two autopsies -- one by the Bahamas coroner's office, another by celebrity pathologist Cyril Wecht -- have ruled out suicide, foul play and several potential natural causes. Both have sought further tests to detect drugs or chemicals.

#3  SW, you can't use so many polysyllabic words to talk about ANS. The readers won't understand.

There we have it, the real cause becomes clear. Heartbreak and despair because a newborn rival gained exclusive purview over mom's two greatest talents.

#1  I could be wrong, knowing so little of the details, but what went through my mind upon reading this article were a series of assumptions and feelings. Anna Nicole SmithÂ’s life seemed dedicated to superficial excess, one that boasts compromise and deserts integrity, and contributors to such a tragedy. All assumptions I realize. Whatever the official outcome the circumstances are not normal, and that young manÂ’s short life was hardly happy.
