In the hours before his death, the 20-year-old son of Anna Nicole Smith appeared fine to medical personnel in the Bahamas, who said Tuesday they saw him walking in his celebrity mother’s room, talking and sleeping in the same bed with her.
On the second day of an inquest into the Sept. 10, 2006, death of Daniel Smith, nursing assistant Francis Woodside said the young man was sleeping in the same bed as his mother, while her attorney and partner Howard K. Stern slept in the other, about 3 hours and 40 minutes before a hospital-wide alarm that he had been found unconscious.
Woodside noted nothing unusual in the room except the sleeping arrangements. “We don’t usually have that happen, patients sleeping in the bed with relatives,” she told a jury that will decide the official cause of death and whether authorities should pursue any criminal charges.
Nurse-midwife Janice Knowles and phlebotomist Mavis Davis also testified that they did not notice anything wrong with Smith before medical personnel found him not breathing and with no pulse at about 9:40 a.m. Police have said there is no evidence of homicide in Daniel Smith’s death and an autopsy found the likely cause was a combination of drugs, including methadone and antidepressants.
Here’s the video that aired on Geraldo’s show, in case you haven’t seen it; be warned, however, that it is highly disturbing:
Usmagazine.com has exclusively learned the identity of “Mark,” the mystery man Howard K. Stern repeatedly refers to in the shocking new Anna Nicole Smith video.
Mark Schey, the president and CEO of creative agency 22Digital, which created the “TRIMSPA, Baby!” slogan, tells Us that through his “good, professional relationship” with Smith he often helped her post fan videos on her personal website “as a courtesy kind of thing.” He claims he was not paid, however, and that he wasn’t present at the Bahamas video shoot.
“It could have been something [Stern] intended to put on [her website]. He would give me instructions, ‘edit this, don’t do this,’” Schey tells Us, adding, “I’ve never seen that video, and had nothing to do with the filming of it. I never even got this tape.”
The disturbing footage of an apparently drugged-up, eight-months-pregnant Smith — which was seen on Geraldo Rivera ’s show Geraldo at Large this week — shows an incoherent Smith in clown makeup, pushing a baby doll in a stroller at her then-home in the Bahamas. Smith acts as if she thinks the doll is alive and does not realize she is pregnant; she appears to thinks she is just bloated from gas, the tape shows.
Her partner Howard K. Stern can be overheard asking Smith if she is on a “mushroom trip” and giving direction to a colleague he calls “Mark.”
At one point, Stern says, “This footage is worth money,” and instructs Smith to cover her right breast, which had popped out of her caftan. He then says, “You can’t show that, Mark.”
Authorities investigating the death of Anna Nicole Smith raided six locations Friday, including the offices and residences of two doctors, a spokeswoman for the Los Angeles County district attorney’s office said.
County prosecutors were aware of the raids in the Los Angeles area but were not involved in the operation, said spokeswoman Sandi Gibbons. She did not comment further; Attorney General Jerry Brown was expected to make an announcement on the case later Friday.
Smith, a former Playboy Playmate, died of an accidental drug overdose in February at a Florida hotel. She was 39. Several people close to the model have fallen under suspicion since her death, including her psychiatrist Dr. Khristine Eroshevich.
Anna Nicole Smith might be dead but the drama surrounding her death is far from being buried. Eyewitness tell Hollyscoop exclusively that there is a picture of a naked Anna Nicole right after she ‘overdosed’ and passed away. Although the picture is technically floating around, it won’t see the light of day until someone coughs up enough money for it.
“She is lying dead in her bed naked with vomit all over her face,” the eyewitness added.
Anna Nicole Smith passed away earlier this year from an accidental overdose. She choked on her own vomit, which led to her death. Sadly enough whoever was in the room with her saw a photo opportunity and snapped away. Keep an eye out for the picture and remember you heard it here first.
Anna Nicole Smith’s lawyer and companion, Howard K. Stern, filed a $60 million libel lawsuit Tuesday against Rita Cosby and her publisher over a book she wrote that claims Stern and Smith’s ex-boyfriend, Larry Birkhead, had a sexual encounter.
The suit, filed in federal court in New York, seeks $10 million in compensatory damages and $50 million in punitive damages from Cosby — who wrote “Blonde Ambition: The Untold Story Behind Anna Nicole Smith’s Death“– and Hachette Book Group USA Inc.
The book, which hit stores in September, claims that besides the alleged sexual encounter, Birkhead and Stern both worked together after Smith’s death to manipulate the media and maximize profits.
The suit says that the book falsely accuses Stern of, among other things, criminal lewd acts, homosexual acts, illegal possession and use of cocaine, conspiring to commit murder and kidnapping for ransom.
