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...”

That story states that Munroe said Daniel had a prescription for methadone and “had been taking it for pain.”
I just flat don’t believe that.
I’d be much more inclined to believe it if it were oxycodone or something like that. Our TV news has been running a series on “pain management clinics” that have popped up in strip centers and so forth.
They claim that “patients” don’t even have to see a doc, that ‘scrips are just written freely, by the 1000s, and that the main “cocktail” prescribed to nearly all is a combo of oxycodone (I assume that’s OxyContin, right?), Soma and Xanax.
Methadone just seems like an “out in left field” treatment option for Daniel. It seems more like something KE could’ve fabricated back in CA on her little ‘scrip pad, if needed.
I disagree explicitly that Anna was given the methadone to tie her in to Danny's death. IIRC, it had been prescribed by the prior doctor...the one whose practice Kapoor took over.
I'm not sure methadone was mentioned in Seidlin's court by Larry but Howard said explicitly that she hadn't used it for 5 months.
The methadone pictured in the fridge was after ANNA's death.
Once someone associated with Danny's autopsy said methadone was the culprit (and it had to be insider's information) because the coroner's report alluded to "a combination" not Methadone as being capable on it's own as an OD, Anna's system had to be flushed of it before she died. Howard was certain none would be found....so certain that he made the "5 months" statement in Seidlin's court.
