The 20-year-old son of Anna Nicole Smith died suddenly in the Bahamas on Sunday, three days after the former Playboy Playmate gave birth to a girl, Smith's attorney said.A statement from Howard K. Stern, Anna Nicole Smith's attorney, did not provide any details of Daniel Smith's death, and he declined to comment when contacted by Reuters.
"We have yet to learn the cause of death but do not believe that drugs or alcohol were a factor," Stern said in the statement. "Anna Nicole is absolutely devastated by the loss of her son. He was her pride and joy and an amazing human being."
Daniel Smith was in the Caribbean nation where his mother, 38, gave birth to a healthy girl on Thursday, Stern said.
He appeared in "The Anna Nicole Show," a reality TV series that aired on the E! cable channel.

There are some truly heartless words left here at this site, I have compassion for those ie Sarah and others~ that they never suffer such a tradegy and have others speak that way. We all are allowed our opinions but that is just immature and thoughtless.

how can you "be" a punishment to yourself? that's an idiotic statement.
I feel so bad for ANS, she didn't deserve this, nor did her other son or her new daughter.
But at least she has the baby to occupy her during this, so maybe it'll ease the pain a little...
I wonder how he died?

I feel that it morally wrong to judge any one specially Ans. She can be who she is but at the end of the day she still a mother, I feel so sadden by this news, and my condolesens go out to he and loved ones.
Please people have a heart, make sure you let you loved ones know how much they mean to you, You never knw when yr times up.
or if you can be in her shoes one day and lose a special one in yr life.
Karma is a bitch, JUst lose the hate !
and have some sympathy for others as well as respect.

Ana i do not have words to soothe your sadness,
the same day your son past away, my nephew past away too. but my nephew past away from cancer and it was a long agonie for my nephew. but to loose someone just in a blink of an eye that is devastated. Ana please ignore the negative comments of people that do not know how to appreciate live. (there just miserables themselves). Ana please be strong, now than ever, your daughter needs you. Your son is watching you, and little sis, from above. i got to know your son thru the reality show, and yes, he was an awsome kid.
hang in there ana, it will take a while, just hang in there.
im just a fan of everyone.
magie
I HOPE THERE IS SOMEONE OUT THERE READING THE IGNORANT COMMENTS MADE BY IGNORANT PEOPLE AND IF THERE IS, CAN YOU PLEASE, PLEASE DELETE IT BEFORE ANA READS THEM. SHE DO NOT NEED THIS BULL SHIT RIGHT NOW. LET THE WOMAN GRIEVE IN PEACE.
PEACE

This is so sad. My son died a year ago from Meathadone. When the percription was given it said "1 tab (10 mg) taken as needed. My son could not pick up a phone and hold it in his hand. He passed out in the shower, could not hold a spoon in his hand while being on the horrible drug. Then his heart slowed down and he quit breathing. He was 29 years old. My only son.
Something has to be done with METHADONE. Doctors give it out for pain.
Anna I hope you read this and contact me.
