JESSICA ROBERTSON NASSAU, Bahamas (AP) - Authorities believe they know what killed the 20-year-old son of Anna Nicole Smith but are awaiting a toxicology report to confirm their findings and are holding open the possibility criminal charges, the Bahamas coroner said Wednesday. Coroner Linda Virgill told The Associated Press that once her office receives the toxicology report on Daniel Smith it may launch a formal inquiry and that there is a possibility criminal charges may be filed in Sunday's death.
"We do know the cause of death," Virgill said. "But we need to confirm it with a toxicology report."
...
Deepening the mystery, Virgill said there was at least one other person in the room when Smith died. She refused to elaborate.
"I can confirm that there was definitely a third person in the room at the time of death and I do know who that person is," she said. "But I am unwilling to reveal that information at this time for various reasons."

He obviously has a family; I just always thought he didn't. They're very private. Still looking.
Hmmm. This is a leap, but could the son have something to do with the paternity of the baby?

oh yuk -
In an interview I saw yesterday, (Larry King? Geez, I don't remember), the Trimspa CEO indicated that is was "Howard". Now this wasn't asked directly, but when he was trying to recount/make sense out of a conversation he had with ANS, that's what he said. It jumped out because it seemed really odd. That is, when the son was unresponsive, Anna (according to the bizarro conversation he had with ANS) "then woke" Howard to alert him to the problem.
So while I didn't find it too strange that the son could be catnapping in a chair in his mother's room, I thought, "Did I hear that right? The lawyer was sleeping in the room too? And Anna had to wake him? WTH?".
Ugh.
Stern is most likely the one who had her set up in The Bahamas, perhaps to keep the baby away from Birkhead, if he (Birkhead) is the father.
Pierce's wife is the one carrying on the court fight ...

" ... Now, the wheels of justice will have to grind on without him. His wife of nearly 41 years, Elaine, will stand in his stead and continue the fight. The case awaits a decision from the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals.
...
Mr. Marshall's personal battle over his inheritance ended June 20 when he died unexpectedly of septic shock brought on by a combination of drug-resistant staphylococcus and streptococcus.
By the time he died, he had spent more than 15 percent of his 67 years in estate litigation, argued before Texas state judges, in California bankruptcy courts and in the halls of the U.S. Supreme Court. He had weathered more than a decade of news stories and tabloid television.
"He had a good private life, but the public life wore him down and put a pessimistic streak in him that I was looking forward to see go away when the suits did. Alas, he did not reach that point," said Robert L. Bradley Jr., president of the Institute for Energy Research in Houston and a family friend.
....
It's little surprise that the litigation has lasted so long. Aside from the inheritance lawsuits, there have been claims filed by a college and prep school, American Express, Neiman Marcus and the Internal Revenue Service.
There is also a great deal of money at stake – although just how much is under dispute.
Year after year, Forbes magazine listed Pierce Marshall as one of the richest people in America, most recently claiming his net worth at about $1.6 billion. And year after year, he vehemently protested that valuation of his worth, insisting on a disclaimer.
While the Marshall family reportedly owns 8 percent of the secretive, privately held petrochemical giant Koch Industries' voting stock and 16 percent of its nonvoting stock, Mr. Marshall contended that his assets and their value were overstated. His argument: Most of the estimates were based on how much his Koch holdings would be worth if the enormously rich company went public. Attempts to do so in the past have been rejected.
He was sensitive generally about discussions of his wealth, arguing in court affidavits that the family's financial documents shouldn't be open to public scrutiny.
In addition, Mr. Marshall once told a Harris County probate court that his father "was a private man. He would be horrified at the degree to which his privacy already has been violated in this litigation."
....
'Very regular fellow'
Mr. Marshall played down his wealth in his daily life as well. He and his wife lived in a house appraised at $656,780 – relatively modest amid the mansions and McMansions of North Texas.
In a city awash with millionaires, a high-dollar social scene and billionaires that regularly offer their opinions, Mr. Marshall did his best to stay out of the limelight.
....
He was so successful that many people in the city didn't even realize he and his wife had lived in Dallas since 1979.
"Pierce to me was a very regular fellow. Private, thoughtful, appropriate. Not much flash; that just was not his style," Mr. Bradley said.
His family could describe him in one word: real.
He regularly declined interviews and was rarely photographed. When he died, the news was kept quiet for days and released on a Friday evening to avoid attention.
Much of his life was spent like many middle-class suburbanites. He flew coach and stayed at modest hotels. He read a lot, was a "doting grandfather," and was fond of automobiles and racing. ..."
Thanks - I wasn't sure. Some of them (British territories) still have ties, but independence, like BVI.
My personal theory, FWIW:
Anna has been drug free for the past 9 mths. She, Howard and her son may well have been having their own "private party" in her room - in celebration of Anna's return to the drug scene. Everyone fell asleep, but the son died of an overdose.
Anna is clearly a serious addict. Howard is her enabler/gopher/toady.
What the F**k does that mean? NOT FUNNY!
Bobby Trendy?
btt

Look, the old guy's death was to be expected. Older people die suddenly all of the time. I don't find his death suspicious at all. I do, however, find this young man's death to be VERY suspicious. They've already said that the death was not from natural causes (obviously, the initial exam must have revealed that he did not have blocked coronary arteries, an enlarged or damaged heart, any blockage in the airway, and no sign of aneurysm or brain damage), so that pretty much means that it was drugs he took or that someone gave him.
A few possibilities:
Someone injected him with, or put in his food, poison. There are kinds out there which can kill in a matter of minutes.
Or maybe...
Someone knew what kind of anti-depressant drug(s) he was taking and somehow gave him (possibly without his knowledge) some drug that should never be taken with it.
"There aren't any left."
Yes there are, but I doubt very much if they would visit her in the hospital.
He has a wife and children.
If you keep reading down the thread, I did find out differently and posted about it.
