NO. I don't think she had anything to do with it. He was on antidepressants and methadone (which means he was addicted to heroin). Fatal drug interaction. Unless Anna Nicole recently got her M.D. and prescribed those meds for him, she wasn't responsible. Give the woman a break, she just lost her son.

Pathologist: Drug Combo Killed Smith Son
Sep 27, 5:57 PM EST
The Associated Press
Anna Nicole Smith's 20-year-old son died from a lethal combination of methadone and two antidepressant drugs, a U.S.-based pathologist who conducted a private autopsy said Wednesday.
Toxicology tests showed Daniel Smith had methadone, Zoloft and Lexapro in his system when he died Sept. 10 in a hospital room in the Bahamas where his former Playboy playmate mother was recuperating from giving birth to a daughter, according to Cyril Wecht.
"The fact that we have these drugs and the levels of the drugs overwhelmingly and most logically point to this being a tragic, accidental, drug-related death," Wecht told The Associated Press from his home in the Pittsburgh area.
Wecht said Smith apparently died from a "classical" combination of the drugs which had a lethal "cumulative effect on the central nervous system."
"Coroners working around the country, we see this in people taking two or three drugs or more," he said.
Smith had been reported to be suffering from depression in the weeks before he went to the Bahamas to visit his reality TV star mom and his newborn half-sister. Zoloft and Lexapro are antidepressants commonly prescribed for patients with anxiety and panic disorders.
Methadone, a pain-reliever, is also commonly used by people recovering from drug addictions.
"It is used for people who have been on heroin or morphine," Wecht said. "I have made those inquiries. I can only say to you no one has suggested anything having to do with drug addiction in this boy."
Wecht said he would share his results Thursday with the pathologist who conducted the official autopsy in the Bahamas, but did not know whether they would issue a joint report on the death.
In Nassau, Chief Magistrate Roger Gomez said he has not yet received official toxicology results, which will determine whether or not a jury inquest into the death is necessary.
Smith's body remained at a Bahamas funeral home hired by the family Wednesday.

No, she actually took his death pretty hard. Her son died because of an unfortunate combination of prescription drugs ... I believe two antidepressants and a pain killer (methadone). His druggist or doctor probably should have recognized that the combination was potentially dangerous not prescribed those drugs at the same time.

Yes, a bit. He was taking all the meds because he was depressed. Wouldn't having Anna Nicole as a mother depress you? But I don't think she did anything deliberately.

Thanks for being so brave as to ask that question, alot of people question the unthinkable, but it - I am sure has even been asked by the police. Did you see when (on her own show) she encouraged her (underaged son to drink?) What up with that where was protective services- or is that only for the regular folk?

No . She had a great relationship with her son and loved him . A woman who just gave birth is not much match for a 19 year old gay , anyway ; but I just don't see it happening .

No. The last thing I'd heard was that he accidently OD'd. He'd been given two prescription meds and the combo is lethal. I work with nurses and when one of them read the story she said "No wonder he died!"
It's sad either way.

Yes! But the death was definitely accidental. She did however allow him access to her Methadone. So technically she did have something to do with it.

Absolutely not. She might have had issues, but there is no doubt she loved her son very much

Not purposely, but i'm sure they're all a bunch of drug heads...Even Howard looks wired lately. Such a shame.
