An autopsy was performed Monday. On Tuesday, Her Majesty's Coroner Linda P. Virgill said that based on preliminary findings, "the cause of death is not natural." But, she said, "we wish to reserve [announcing] the cause of death at this time," adding that a toxicology results and a full autopsy report will be released by the end of the week.
Virgill said an inquest will take place afterward and her staff will interview all "relevant witnesses," including Anna Nicole Smith, hospital workers and flight attendants, to develop an official timeline.
The coroner's statements came in the wake of a story in the Nassau Guardian that Daniel Smith suffered a "massive heart attack" and that antidepressants had been found in his system. The newspaper said that Daniel was seen "vomiting uncontrollably" shortly before his death.
Police on Tuesday sought to downplay the Guardian report.

i recently read that rumors about a heart attack were unfounded, and that they also do not think it was drug or alcohol related. i wonder, because i had a young friend that this happened to, if he might have had a blood clot go to his lungs or brain. that's the only thing i can think of that would not have to do with drugs or his heart. anyway, it's so sad. i hope the poor baby is able to get some attention. it would be hard to be a celebrity mother of a 20 year old AND a 4 day old, much less grieving the loss of the oldest. very sad.

I haven't heard what caused his death but I think it was very sad. He was so young and must have had a pretty hard life because of his mom and the way she lived her life.

You should have more respect for the dead. Despite her personality, Anna did lose her son. Show some grace for goodness sake.

From what I heard he had just finished visiting with his family and then had a massive heart attack. Sad but true, according to the doctors there was no drugs or alcohol involved.
