Today the doctor who performed the “official” autopsy on Daniel Smith, confirmed what was reported by Dr. Cyril Wecht who was hired by Anna Nicole Smith to perform a private autopsy on her son.
Dr Govinda Raju said that a combination of methadone and the antidepressants Zoloft and Lexapro turned lethal about 5 hours after ingestion.
Howard K. Stern’s attorney Wayne Munroe said “Once you boil it all down, these were medicines treating either pain or depression”.
Wecht had also previously said that Daniel had Ambien, a sleep medication and an over the counter cold medicine in his system but they did not play a role in his death.
The bruises on Daniel’s back and shoulders, could have been caused by medics while they were trying to revive him, said Raju
Testimony is scheduled to resume Tuesday.

That was beautiful!!
Im so glad he got his Momma’s looks.
That was beautiful QV, thank you.
Looking at those pictures you can understand why Anna’s heart was broken. He was her life, she loved him so dearly.
Absolutely beautiful!
i don’nt know what Daniel would have done had Anna died, first. They were tied so closely, to each other, it is hard to think of one with out the other. I got the muaic QV and it is beautiful
The amount of medication that Daniel had taken really surprises me.Methadone,Zoloft,Lexapro,Ambien and a otc cold medicine.These are what are named here.If these were prscribed and he normally took them how did he mistakenly overdose? What other meds were taken but not named yet? There were also the 2 given by the hospital to try to revive him.He seemed to have no problem taking his prescriptions fine until he got to the Bahamas.The thing that bothers me is the time frame.If it was 4-6 hours before that means he would have taken these all before he went to sleep.The ambien I can understand but the methadone and the anti depressants before sleeping? Is that how it is normally prescribed? I think a lot more is going to come out with the inquest.I would like to know more about his autopsy report such as stomach contents for starters. If the nannies do testify that will be interesting to see what they say under oath. Seems kind of strange that Wayne Monroe didn’t want them to testify. Can’t wait to see what tomorrows inquest will reveal.
That brought tears to my eyes.
I sometimes think Daniel is the forgotten one.
People exploit Anna and sensationalize Howard and Larry with negatively or positively. Few people ever really talk about Daniel.
Thank you for the moving tribute, QV.
Simply Beautiful QV!
Thanking for remembering this lost boy, taken before his time.
Very well done & Thanks again
Thanks all. Very tragic and sad that he is gone…
That was one of the best and moving tributes I have seen put together on Daniel. Well done QV! I neglected to mention that in my earlier posting being caught up in the inquest. The reality is that Daniel lived a very short life and ended way too soon. It was so obvious in the pictures the amount of love Anna had for him. It is just heartbreaking to think of her pain once he was gone. Forever they will be together now..
That was a wonderful tribute for Daniel who seems to have been forgotten in so many ways.
Wonder what it would be like to be the son of a toy, the playmate of the year?
So many stars and ordinary people, too, lose their children.
And, drugs are easy to get, and it’s so easy to escape.
Daniel was never a real boy, was he?

He was a real boy.
What is a real man?
I really like those two gay men that were friends of Howard and Anna Nicole.
I once ran away from ‘home’ and my friends, well…let’s just say they didn’t know what to do with me.
I ended up in a sanctuary for a couple of weeks before I was returned to my parents.
I was taken care of by two gay men and I was so safe…
They worked all day and I got to listen to ‘The Doors’ and a lot of rain…
They risked a lot, and protected me…
No one ever knew, and I can’t even remember their names.
That was thirty years ago, at least.
They sure were nice to harbor me and no one ever found out.
This is the Honest To God’s Truth.
I still wonder about ‘them.’
Unless you count, are you sure you are included?

My last name used to be Irish!!!
‘I’ shouldn’t matter here…’He’ should, or should have.
God Bless!!!
I could never compete with those cheerleader moms…
My daughter could, but not me.
Of course, my daughter is fearless with and eventually without me.
I know in my heart I did the best I could.
Believe in Yourself…anything is possible, everything is inevitable…
God Bless, I guess…I know the truth, and I sure do feel ‘it.’
All that love…are loved.
Dear Billy,
I have no idea what you went through…and have no right to accuse you of anything except that you were just a kid.
Bet you are a really good cook and no one ever really gave you any credit for that, or anything else.
I kinda think you don’t understand how important you are or your sadness.
God Bless You and know there are a few of us, or at least me, that understand and want you to have a merry Christmas.
Seems to me, you really had little to do with anything except maybe for an instant in your life, loving a little girl when you were a little boy.
Remember, you were just a little boy once upon a time…although, you are all grown up now. You never meant to hurt anyone.
God Bless You and Yours!!!
Freida
Who are you talking to?
Never mind I think I know.
WOW, that was so moving and sad.So senseless, so tragic. Daniel your Meemaw loves you. Anna your mother loves you, I hope you see her fighting for justice.
Thanks QV, that is beautiful.
