Daniel Smith was finally buried yesterday after dying accidentally from a drug interaction 39 days prior. In the long interim between his death and funeral, his mother Anna Nicole Smith staged a fake wedding, bribed the Bahamian government to fast track her citizenship application, and brokered lucrative deals with photo agencies for pictures of her commitment ceremony and her son’s last precious moments with his new baby sister.
Now Daniel has finally been buried in a mahogany casket, wearing his favorite trucker cap and jeans. His mother wore a custom-designed mourning outfit by the same designer who cobbled together her play wedding dress:
Stern also gave the eulogy at the service.
“Daniel is Anna’s rock, and that became even more profound at today’s emotional service. Howard, Anna and [daughter] Dannielynn Hope need to cherish, love and be strong. May the blessings of peace, hope, life and, above all, love, be theirs,” added Alex Goen, CEO of TrimSpa.
While Smith’s camp declined to go into detail, a spokeswoman for the local Lakeview Memorial Gardens & Mausoleums confirmed to the Associated Press that the funeral had taken place at the cemetery.
Deborah Cartwright told the wire service that a gold-colored hearse brought Daniel’s body to the grounds, on which a large green tent had been erected for the private service. She said that he was interred in a mahogany casket.
To ensure the affair was kept as private as possible, six police officers stood guard at the cemetery’s main entrance, with plainclothes officers stationed outside the tent. Invited guests of the service were the only people allowed on the grounds for the duration of the funeral.
Earlier in the week, Entertainment Tonight reported that roughly 25 mourners were expected and that Daniel would likely be buried wearing a trucker cap, T-shirt and blue jeans, his preferred wardrobe.
ET also claimed that the mourning mother would be wearing a black dress and veil to the service, created specially for the occasion by designer Pol’ Atteu, the clothier responsible for Smith’s last-minute matrimonial garb for her commitment ceremony to Stern last month.
I’m so glad that Anna was able to wear custom couture to her son’s funeral.
While Anna’s pathologist has said that Daniel died from a drug combination of the antidepressants Lexapro and Zoloft along with the heroin substitute methadone, the Bahamian authorities have yet to make an announcement as to the cause of death. The Bahamian police investigation is complete, with the findings handed over to the attorney general’s office, who will determine if an additional inquest is needed. I wonder if Anna and Howard bribed that guy yet.
The photographer who claims he’s the father of Anna Nicole’s baby, Larry Birkhead, has filed suit to get her lawyer, the other guy who claims to be the baby’s father Howard K. Stern, to take a paternity test. He also put up a website for his newborn (site has automatic music) to let the little one know how much he wants to meet her.
I’m getting sick of this whole soap opera, but I really want to see Howard K. Stern and Anna Nicole Smith get some jail time for supplying Daniel with the methadone that killed him.
Please, leave this white trailer trash out in the trash heap of life where they belong.
sickening broad… off getting married while her son is still at the morgue.. pathetic excuse for a mother…
This woman needs to be locked up. I would say she needs to be neutered as well. I was trying to lay off of her since she just lost a child, but who sells pictures of their son three days after his death?
What I really like is how the ‘real’ dad who is going to save his daughter from Anna puts up some shabby site for his kid he loves SO much and yet names the site after – who? HIMSELF! Well, that’s not shameless publicity! Great!
Why is this guy fighting so hard to be attached to Anna Nicole and her craziness for 18 years anyways?…let it go…I just can’t wait until this kid can write a book!!!
Are we sure that Anna Nicole Smith and lawyer Howard K. Stern supplied Daniel with the Methadone? It is just as likely that he received the 3 different medications from 3 different Doctors. If he was not forthcoming about the medications he was taking, no doctor could have known the possible fatal drug interaction that would occur. While I don’t condone Ms. Smith’s behavior in any way, (I believe there is a mental disorder afoot) calling her a murderess is irresponsible journalism.
It is a huge shame that Daniel died so young and Anna seems a lost case.
She looks drugged out and CRAPPY and fat in this pic
39 days? Whew! Bet he was a little ripe by then – hope she thought to have him embalmed somewhere along the way –
I would not be surprised if Daniel was the father of the baby.Think about how Anna gets when she is all drugg. Can’t you see her getting Daniel drunk and going up to him and saying “Don’t you think you have a sexy mommy?Come on Daniel. Don’t you?” and then maybe touching im and things just went somewhere unintentionally. And the stress of that got to him and that why he was on all of those meds. Howard stepped up to plate so the public wouldnt find out.makes sense to me. i use to watch her show and as a criminal investigator i see it all the time.well..stuff kind of like that.i think that it what the big secret is. daniel is the father and that is why everyone is being payed off.
Have you heard anything about a rumor that Daniel Smith is the father of Danielynn? It’s been circling for a couple days but I cannot fond any info on it.
