The awful news has come that Anna Nicole Smith's son Daniel, at 20 years old died of a "massive heart attack" in the Bahamas at the same hospital where her daughter was born.

A statement on Anna Nicole's official websites says:

"On Sept. 7 Anna Nicole gave birth to a healthy 6 lb., 9 oz. baby girl. Her son Daniel was in the Bahamas with her to share in the joy of his baby sister when he passed away suddenly on the morning of Sept. 10.... Anna Nicole is absolutely devastated by the loss of her son. He was her pride and joy and an amazing human being. Please do not make any press inquiries at this time so that Anna Nicole can grieve in peace."


What we know from the The Nassau Guardian:

  • Daniel Smith, son of the model and actress, reportedly suffered a "massive heart attack" on the maternity ward in Doctors Hospital.
  • According to [a] source, Daniel collapsed and died. The source added that his mother made an unsuccessful effort to revive her son.
  • While members of the press were rushed into the conference room, hospital staff hustled the baby out into a waiting van, while Anna Nicole Smith's lawyer, Howard K Stern, rushed to the hospital parking lot at the same time.
  • The new mother was never seen, as she was reportedly whisked out of a backdoor exit. Photos of the baby wrapped in a pink and white blanket could not be taken, as all cameramen were diverted into the hospital conference room.
  • Daniel's lifeless body was then taken away in a hearse through a side exit.
