Dr. Cyril Wecht told CNN's Larry King that a toxic cocktail of brain depressant drugs killed Daniel Smith

According to media reports, Dr. Cyril Wecht, the forensic pathologist that performed the second autopsy on 20-year-old Daniel Smith, is "Pointing the finger of blame at the doctor or doctors who prescribed the pills to Smith," and has blasted the doctor(s) who prescribed Daniel the "killer cocktail of anti-depressants and painkillers."

When King asked if the couple had plans to marry Stern said, "I've loved her for quite some time and hopefully the feeling's mutual. At some point, we will.

"
Right now we have to somehow get through what we're going through. It probably would have been sooner, you know, but for Daniel's death.

"We really haven't been allowed to grieve with the way that this whole thing has been handled.

"And you know, it's going to be, I think, a little while before we're going to be able to experience real happy moments."

Daniel, 20, died on September 10 while visiting his mother in hospital in the Bahamas following the birth. Autopsies on the body remain inconclusive but both suicide and foul play have been ruled out.

Stern added, "We're still waiting to find out what the cause is. We also now have an indication that there may have been other prescriptive medication in his system."

OTHER PRESCRIPTIVE MEDICATION????????????????????????

Daniel was prescribed antidepressants just six weeks before his death because he was upset about a girlfriend.

What is with these shrinks giving a pill to numb all feelings in life. All young people have emotional breakups, it's part of growing up and you have to experience those feelings to grow and appreciate the right person when he/she comes into your life.
