what we know now:
Mr. Taylor told the court that Mr. Gibson and his wife; Anna Nicole’s companion, Howard K. Stern and emergency room physician Dr James Iferenta were all in the room at the time of his arrival. He did not specify what time he arrived.

that is, Gibson was in the room before Mr. Taylor OR GBen arrived. Was Gibson also called the same as GBen to come to the hospital? Why was Gibson there at all? Why didn’t Howie dearest just say his name on Larry King Live? why be so cryptic - up to a jury to decide IF there was ‘another’ person?
what we knew then:
Police and the coroner refused to identify the third person in the former Playboy model’s room, but they said it was not a member of the hospital’s staff.
The person was “a male” described as a “boyfriend” of Anna Nicole Smith’s, a Bahamian source told the Daily News, but it was not her ex-flame Larry Birkhead, who says he is the father of her baby.

STERN: “Just, you know, other — the way that she had said, you know, initially that there may or may not have been a third person in the room. It’s up to the jury to decide and then followed that up with saying that she knows who the third person in the room was but, you know, didn’t want to prejudice the investigation.
“When I had been in the room the whole time, you know, from the time that Anna had given birth and all the hospital personnel knew that and, you know, all the authorities knew that. I was actually the person who gave the initial police statement.”
