LOS ANGELES (Reuters) -- The 20-year-old son of Anna Nicole Smith died suddenly in the Bahamas on Sunday, three days after the former Playboy Playmate gave birth to a girl, Smith's attorney said.

A statement from Howard K. Stern, Anna Nicole Smith's attorney, did not provide any details of Daniel Smith's death, and he declined to comment when contacted by Reuters.

"We have yet to learn the cause of death but do not believe that drugs or alcohol were a factor," Stern said in the statement. "Anna Nicole is absolutely devastated by the loss of her son. He was her pride and joy and an amazing human being."

Daniel Smith was in the Caribbean nation where his mother, 38, gave birth to a healthy girl on Thursday, Stern said.

He appeared in "The Anna Nicole Show," a reality TV series that aired on the E! cable channel.

Since being named Playboy's Playmate of the Year in 1993, the former Vicki Lynn Hogan from Mexia, Texas, has never been far from the public spotlight. In 1994, she married wheelchair-bound oil tycoon J. Marshall Howard, 89, after meeting him at a strip club.

His death, after 14 months of marriage, triggered a legal battle over his estate between Smith and his son, E. Pierce Marshall. Earlier this year, she won a U.S. Supreme Court decision giving her another chance to collect millions of dollars. Pierce Marshall died in June.

Smith has not said who fathered her second child.

Okay, that is just weird...Because I was *JUST* thinking about when ANS used to have her show on E!, just the other day. I couldn't help but watch it when it was still on. That's unfortunate.

TripperFan · 09-11-2006, 09:46 AM

WTF?

I can't help but to think alcohol or drugs were involved somehow. I always felt so sorry for him when I'd see him on her show.

And this is the first I've heard that she was even pregnant again, let alone gave birth? Let's see, trying to think of really, old billionaires currently taking mass doses of Viagara that could have stepped up to the plate here......

That is terrible news. No parent should have to suffer losing a child. I wonder what happened. Poor man, so young.

Mr. Stefani · 09-11-2006, 11:37 AM

Oh wow thats horrible. You could tell he was her life when they'd be around each other. Thats really sad, esp to lose a child a few days after bringing one into this world.

According to The Nassau Guardian:

- Daniel Smith, son of the model and actress, reportedly suffered a "massive heart attack" on the maternity ward in Doctors Hospital.

- According to [a] source, Daniel collapsed and died. The source added that his mother made an unsuccessful effort to revive her son.

- While members of the press were rushed into the conference room, hospital staff hustled the baby out into a waiting van, while Anna Nicole Smith's lawyer, Howard K Stern, rushed to the hospital parking lot at the same time.

- The new mother was never seen, as she was reportedly whisked out of a backdoor exit. Photos of the baby wrapped in a pink and white blanket could not be taken, as all cameramen were diverted into the hospital conference room.

- Daniel's lifeless body was then taken away in a hearse through a side exit.

That's so awful. He always seemed like such a great person on her show. He seemed really shy, and I don't think he liked the attention. RIP
