Ooh, Inside Edition "tease" for next show ... why did Daniel call his own PI right before he died? We'll tell you what he said and why he was worried about his mother!
excerpted from people.com
• Jack Harding, a private investigator based in California, told police that last year Daniel expressed to him "his concern about the kind of persons his mother was associating with." Daniel also said "he did not like the idea that she was moving to the Bahamans" and that he "felt that her associates were taking advantage of her."
• When Daniel entered Valley College in Los Angeles a year ago, Smith herself told authorities, her son's attitude changed and he became abusive. "At first I thought it was drugs," she says, "but I later found out that he was seeing a girl." His behavior changed when he was going through a break-up with her, she said.
She also said, "As far as I am aware I don't know that Daniel was using drugs of any kind, than the one prescribed by Dr. (Sandeep) Kapoor." After Daniel had stayed out all night, Smith put him out of the house. He went to live with family friend Ray Martino. (A representative of Dr. Kapoor says that the doctor never prescribed medications to Daniel.)
• Daniel landed in the hospital twice – shortly before Smith moved to the Bahamas and on the same day she arrived, according to the report. Martino told police he "noticed that Daniel was losing weight," and when Daniel complained of stomach cramps and back pains in July Martino took him to the hospital. Later in the month, on July 18, Daniel complained of the same symptoms and Martino rushed him to the hospital, where he spent three days. At some point, Martino found in Daniel's school bag a bottle of the antidepressant Zoloft, which had been prescribed to one of Smith's former employees.
• On the morning Daniel died, a nurse found two white tablets in a bed that Stern had slept in. Stern, in his statement to police, maintains Daniel slept there, too, but the nurses only recall seeing Stern in the bed.
The drugs found in the bed were the muscle relaxant Carisoprodol and Methadone, according to the report. (PEOPLE has previously learned Smith had a prescription for Carisoprodol.)
• Photographs of Daniel's body reveal abrasions under his right arm. There were also "abrasions to the left pelvis and hip areas," as well as the "right pelvis and hip areas." A doctor questioned about the abrasions told police said he didn't "know how they got there, and it was nothing done while trying to resuscitate Daniel."
