More details on the death of Daniel Smith

More details on the death of Anna Nicole Smith's son emerged today. "The cause of death is not natural," a coroner told People magazine. "However, we wish to reserve the cause of death at this time pending the toxicologist examination and report for confirmation of cause of death. Friday is the likely release date for the autopsy and toxicology report." When asked to clarify the statement that the death was "not natural," the coroner added, "At this point in time, there were no external injuries that appeared on the body. It's difficult to give you something more without going into the full detail." The president and CEO of the hospital where Daniel Smith was visiting his mother after the birth of a baby girl gave a detailed timeline of Smith's tragic death. "We can confirm Daniel Smith arrived at the hospital late evening, 11 p.m., Saturday, September 9. He spent the entire evening in the room and remained as a visitor with his mother and newly born sister," the hospital exec said. "On Sunday, September 10, at 6:20 a.m., it was noted by one of the associates that Daniel was attending to his mother's comfort." Later that morning, Anna Nicole saw her son sitting in a chair and he appeared to be asleep, but when she tried to wake him up, he was unresponsive. CPR and resuscitation failed to revive him and Daniel Smith was pronounced dead at 10:05 a.m. A coroner's inquest into the death is expected to take place, as is standard procedure for sudden deaths.
