Two of the bigger boys said that the Methadone was the "death trigger"....it was a huge overdose.
No one has been asked whether Daniel was ever tested for Chloral Hydrate.
There is NO DOUBT that the two deaths are intimately connected. Howard must have had inside information (from Wecht) that the Methadone was the "trigger" even though it was apparently written up differently.
That's why it was so urgent to get the methadone totally out of Anna's system and have none of the stuff in Florida. They actually needed Anna's death (with no methadone involved) to disconnect the two deaths...the Methadone being the common denominator. All other meds were "ordinary" in Daniel's case.
Who tipped Perper off as to even doing a test for the chloral hydrate? It simply isn't tested for any longer. It's an archaic drug and IIRC, it wasn't on that drug list that got posted.
This has to go to the warrants somehow and a search at pharmacies she dealt with.
here’s another angle:

NASSAU, Bahamas (AP) - The dangerous amount of methadone taken by Anna Nicole Smith’s 20-year-old son was the main factor behind his death last year, the Bahamian police’s forensics chief testified Tuesday at an inquest into the death.
Superintendent Quinn McCartney’s conclusion differs slightly from the findings of two pathologists who said Daniel Smith was killed by an interaction of methadone and two antidepressants.
“Even if there were no other drugs present in (Smith’s) bloodstream, the methadone level would be enough to set off alarms,” said McCartney...”

i’m holding my horse steady - until i see some rx’s filled for methadone beyond aug 25th, ‘06, i’m still stuck about the methadone in anna’s system - i think she was given it to deliberately tie her in - same as howie told ford right off the bat, that there was methadone in the fridge at the horizons the day daniel died.
Feb 5th off to hard rock - prior to feb 5th, interview to air feb 6th/7th, “...there’s no way anyone is going to implicate me in Daniel’s death...”

Feb 05, ‘07- Natl Enquirer front page - ANS son murdered, HKS suspect
iirc, perper, imo, wasn’t aware Ch was being taken by Anna (since it was in howie baby’s name). then, the CH in Anna came back with the ‘extended’ tox results - after which, iirc, he called in KE for a ‘chat’ and came up with the ‘was given’ versus ‘took’ descriptions. i’ve looked and looked but haven’t found anything that Anna took ch being volunteered by anyone until Perper’s release of autopsy results/press conference, well after the funeral iirc.
I doubt if Wecht or the bahamian coroners looked for ch in Daniel’s system for exactly the reasons you state. If they retained blood or spinal tissue or liver tissue, maybe they would be able to find the metabolites without exhuming him? One would imagine that if a lab were notified there was to be an inquest, they would hold specimens?
