The death of Anna Nicole Smith’s son, Daniel, has become a big controversy that may soon turn into a murder mystery. A second autopsy performed at Anna Nicole’s request found that Daniel had three drugs in his system at the time he died. The coroner found two antidepressants (Lexapro and Zoloft) and Methadone while performing an investigation into Daniel Smith’s cause of death.
A US doctor issued Daniel Smith a prescription for Lexapro and Zoloft to help deal with depression after recently having problems with his girlfriend. Methadone is usually used to treat people who are recovering from narcotic addictions. Everyone seems pretty confident that Daniel Smith never had a narcotic addiction, but sources from inside the Smith camp claimed that Daniel may have taken the methadone for back pain. Methadone can be used as a pain reliever, but doctors say that it is very rare.
Getting Methadone is not a simple task, however it is obtainable. Most Methadone users are being treated for a narcotic addiction. This means that for Daniel Smith to get Methadone to use as a back pain reliever, he had to get it from someone who is struggling from a narcotic addiction. If someone wants Methadone badly enough it can be purchased as a street drug. Why would Daniel Smith buy a street drug for back pain? He probably wouldn’t.
An anonymous source tells me that both Anna Nicole Smith and Howard K. Stern have struggled with narcotic addictions over the past few years dating back to the time when my source met Anna Nicole Smith while she was taping her self-titled reality show on E! The insider says that Anna Nicole and Howard K. Stern were both addicted to a pain killer similar to oxycodone. This would explain Anna Nicole’s often disillusioned appearance on her reality show and her public antics where she appears intoxicated. This would also describe why her attorney, Howard K. Stern, often talked at such a slow pace as if he was holding on to every word. As a former pill-popper myself, I know that all these traits come along with taking a pain relieving narcotic.
US Weekly also reported that Larry Birkhead told them that Anna Nicole was taking Methadone, and her treatments were administered by her lawyer turned boyfriend, Howard K. Stern. Stern told Larry King on CNN that Daniel’s depression had manifested itself as back pain.
Our source said that Anna Nicole Smith was forced to quickly kick her pill addiction when she found out she was pregnant with her recently born daughter. Stern, however, was evidently still working to end his addiction. Daniel Smith boarded a plane in California to head to the Bahamas to visit with his mother and newly born sister, Dannilyn. He was picked up at the hospital by Anna’s attorney Howard K. Stern. Daniel visited with the family before retiring to bed. The New York Daily News reported in its September 14th issue that others near Anna Nicole’s hospital room heard her "screaming loudly and blaming someone" for her son collapsing. That’s 38 minutes before hospital officials say a nurse was called to try and revive Daniel Smith.
According to Wikepdia.com, Methadone has a half-life of 24-48. A drug’s half life generally predicts when it will hit your system and was probably the time when Daniel Smith died from the lethal mix of two anti-depressants and Methadone. So if my source is right, one might assume that Howard K. Stern is the one who is responsible for Daniel Smith’s death. Howard and Anna Nicole’s representatives confirmed that the two were unofficially married in the Bahamas on Thursday morning. My source who says claims to know both Stern and Smith very well, told me that the quick commitment ceremony sounds like something Stern would propose to take the attention off of him for inadvertently killing Daniel.
Stern appeared on Larry King Live last week where he looked nearly sedated himself. On the show, Stern claimed that he and Anna Nicole were in love and that he is the father of her newborn daughter.
Our anonymous source said that if Howard and Anna Nicole have secretly been dating for as long as Stern claims; then they did a good job of hiding it from both of their personal friends and their staffs. My source also said that Anna Nicole and Larry Birkhead did have some sort of romantic relationship within the past year. Stern also dodged questions on CNN about whether or not Anna Nicole and Birkhead were intamite. He did say that “she never consider him her boyfriend.” If my source is correct, then this does seem that Stern dodged a question from Larry King very well. Anna Nicole Smith’s mother told Entertainment Tonight that she spoke with Anna Nicole Smith recently and that she was “out of it” and appeared to be drugged up. This leads me to believe that Anna Nicole may be so out of it, that she doesn’t even realize what is going on. Other sources have said that she is so sedated that she often forgets that Daniel is actually dead. If she became sedated immediately after Daniel’s death, then she may not even realize what is going on.
There is obviously a lot more to this story that is coming out. If allegations such as these continue, then eventually the authorities will have to investigate where the Daniel Smith got the Methadone that killed him.
It is obvious that an investigation into how Daniel obtained Methadone needs to be conducted. Anna Nicole has done an impeccable job of shielding herself from the outside world through this situation and in the past. Unfortunately, the one shielding her this time may be the one who is hurting her the most.
