Pathologist Says Meds Killed Smith's Son
LOS ANGELES (Sept. 27) - Actress and model Anna Nicole Smith's son, Daniel Smith, died of a lethal combination of drugs that caused an irregular heart beat, People Magazine reported on its Web site on Wednesday.
The report quoted pathologist Cyril Wecht, who was hired by Smith to look into her son's September 10 death, as saying Daniel Smith died from a combination of methadone, Zoloft and Lexapro that led to cardiac dysrhythmia.
People Magazine said Wecht got the results of toxicology tests from National Medical Services in Willow Grove, Pennsylvania.
Daniel Smith, 20, died while visiting his mother in a hospital in the Bahamas where she had given birth to a baby girl. His death has been shrouded in mystery since then.
The People magazine report could not be immediately confirmed, and official autopsy and toxicology reports are being withheld until an October 23 inquest.
Leave these poor people alone.
You object to posting an article with the findings of the coroner that Smith hired herself? He's the one who's making the public statements.

That was what killed Keith Moon if I'm not mistaken.
I read he was in rehab recently. That would explain that...
very sad story...
Indeed. Heartbreaking all around.
Crickets chirping from the Drug Warriors...Big Pharma strikes again, let's ban all prescription meds...
He never mentioned the other two drugs..
