Anna Nicole Smith's son, 20, dies in Bahamas

[Saphire]

NASSAU, Bahamas -- The 20-year-old son of Anna Nicole Smith has been found dead in the Bahamas, where the former reality TV star and Playboy playmate gave birth to a baby girl days earlier.

Authorities had not determined what caused the death of Daniel Wayne Smith, whose body was found Sunday morning, said Robin Bonnema, a spokeswoman for Trimspa, the diet products company that has been endorsed by Smith. Bonnema had no other details, and calls to Smith's lawyer, Howard K. Stern of Santa Monica, Calif., were not immediately returned.

No matter what anyone thinks of her, she is a grieving mother, and has my deepest condolences.

1. That is very sad. My condolences go out to her, too. nt

2. Her lawyer's name is Howard Stern? LOL you can't make this stuff up! n/t

3. Sad.

I remember her reality series and thinking he seemed like such a lost little boy being dragged along behind his attention-seeking mother (if I'd even call her that). Regardless, I do have sympathy for her. Had no clue she was pregnant.

19. So my guess is that you have inside information ....

on her relationship with her son?

[Avalux]

24. No I don't.

What I witnessed on TV seemed strange although it could have all been an act. I do understand I have no way of knowing what their relationship was like.

[ronnykmarshall]

25. Ahhhhh the Tee-Vee.

[YellowRubberDuckie]

35. There's also a 13 year old son...

He's the one she dragged along....

4. How very sad

My sympathies to her... It must be the hardest thing for a mother, to loose a child. Even at 20, he was her baby boy.

9. Don't you mean "hardest thing for a parent"?

[JuniperLea]

14. Yes eom

[Catherine Vincent]

5. That is so sad.

I remember thinking back when his mom first acquired all those millions that he was very fortunate because all of his education would be paid for etc. Only 20 years old.

6. that't tragic. and, i actually love ANS... i think she's wonderful.

troubled, but wonderful -- like most of the things that are great about the world.

[AspenRose]

7. That's awful...hope postpartum depression doesn't compound things

:-(

[Benhurst]

8. How sad.

And I still think she has been treated shabbily by a nation filled with hypocrites professing to believe in the sanctity of marriage. She is the WIDOW of a very rich old man who MARRIED her. God save us from courts which take it upon themselves to decide which marriages count and which don't.

10. The irony of giving birth and losing an existing child within days

has be an experience to haunt this woman until the day she dies. My condolences.

[Hav]

13. .

True. Didn't think about that.
Every birthday will remind her of the death of her first son.

[vixengrl]

33. That's what I was thinking--such an awful conflict of feelings,

joy over the new baby, mourning for her lost child. Just horrible these events came so close together.

11. This is terribly sad

This was three day before her son died.

31. That's very sad.

Regardless of their relationship, he died much too young. It's gotta be extra hard right after she'd given birth. Condolences to his friends and family.

[Left Is Write]

32. I just learned of this a few minutes ago.

What a joyous occasion marked by tragedy. It's sad. According to the article I read, he was actually visiting her hospital room when he died.
