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.

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.

Last night, on LKL..Howard K. Hughes, the new baby's father, and long time attorney for the family, said the boy was on Lexapro.

He never mentioned the other two drugs..

we haven't heard the last of this. You can bet the the lawsuits are already being prepared against the Doctors that prescribed the medications, the Pharmacist that filled the prescriptions, and hospital he died in.
Anna finally hit her lottery......
