UPDATED: Filed Under = Anna Nicole Smith
No criminal charges recommended.
Death of Anna Nicole Smith's Son Ruled Accidental
The Associated Press
March 31, 2008, 9:55 AM PDT
A Bahamas jury has determined that Anna Nicole Smith's son died from an accidental drug overdose and is recommending no criminal charges.
The seven-member jury deliberated less than two hours before returning the verdict Monday.
The inquest began in November to determine what killed 20-year-old Daniel Smith.
The son of the former Playboy playmate died in September 2006 shortly after he arrived in the Bahamas to meet his new baby sister, who was born in a Nassau hospital.
Police have said there is no evidence of homicide. An autopsy found that Daniel likely died from a combination of drugs, including methadone and antidepressants.

Jury: Smith Son Died of Drug Overdose
Published: 3/31/08, 4:25 PM EDT
By TOSHEENA ROBINSON-BLAIR
NASSAU, Bahamas (AP) - A Bahamas jury ruled Monday that Anna Nicole Smith's son died from an accidental drug overdose, just like his mother.
The seven-member jury, which deliberated for less than two hours, recommended no criminal charges in the September 2006 death of 20-year-old Daniel Smith.
The son of the former Playboy playmate died after coming to the Bahamas to meet his new baby sister on Sept. 10, 2006. His mother died early the next year in Florida from an accidental drug overdose at age 39.
Police had said there was no evidence of homicide, and autopsies found that Daniel died from a combination of drugs, including methadone and antidepressants. But Bahamian authorities ordered the inquest amid widespread speculation over the circumstances surrounding his death.
In its ruling, the jury said the cause of death was "nondependent use of drugs," meaning that Daniel Smith was not addicted and was not aware the drugs in his system would kill him.
Neil McCabe, an attorney for Anna Nicole's mother, Virgie Arthur, said she was disappointed in the ruling because she suspected foul play was involved. Arthur has claimed previously that Anna Nicole's boyfriend and attorney Howard K. Stern played a role in both deaths, but she did not provide evidence.
"We don't think it makes any sense," McCabe said. "The boy was not a drug user, the judge said so. Why would he all of a sudden take a massive dose of methadone?"
Stern, who has denied giving Daniel any drugs, said outside court that he was not sure whether the jury's decision would bring an end to the case.
"I have no control over them," he said of Arthur and her attorneys.
Magistrate William Campbell said the jury's decision ended the case as far the courts in the Bahamas were concerned.
The inquest began in November and heard from more than two dozen witnesses
Anna Nicole's former boyfriend, Larry Birkhead, testified that Daniel was a troubled young man who struggled with drugs and alcohol. But Stern said he was surprised at the autopsy report and said he had never seen Daniel using drugs.
Stern, who came to the Bahamas with Anna Nicole during her pregnancy in 2006, initially claimed he was the father of her infant daughter, Dannielynn, He gave up custody last spring after DNA tests proved Birkhead was the father.
Dannielynn has been named the sole heir of her late mother's estate, with Birkhead and Stern as co-trustees. Dannielynn could inherit millions of dollars if the estate wins an ongoing court fight over the oil fortune of Anna Nicole's late second husband, J. Howard Marshall.

FBI Investigated Anna Nicole Smith in Plot to Kill Husband's Son
Posted Wednesday 07 October 07:05 AM By: PopEater / Wire Services
The FBI investigated whether Anna Nicole Smith was part of a plot to kill her tycoon husband's son, whom she was battling for his late dad's fortune, but prosecutors ultimately decided there wasn't enough evidence to charge the model who died in 2007 from a drug overdose, newly released files show.
Smith's FBI records, obtained exclusively by The Associated Press, say the agency investigated Smith in 2000 and 2001 in a murder-for-hire plot targeting E. Pierce Marshall, who was at the center of a long legal fight to keep the starlet, model and stripper from collecting his father's oil wealth, valued in the hundreds of millions. The younger Marshall has since died.
The documents released under the Freedom of Information Act depict an investigation going on as the fight raged over J. Howard Marshall II's estate. Vast sections of the 100 pages of released materials - a fraction of Smith's full FBI file - are whited out, and no evidence of her involvement in such a plot is detailed.
There is no indication how authorities became aware of the alleged scheme, but agents interviewed Smith on July 3, 2000. When told why she was being questioned, "Smith began crying and denied ever making such plans," a report said.
"Smith adamantly denied ever contemplating such a crime," an agent wrote, and prosecutors eventually agreed the case could not go forward. An April 26, 2001, letter to the FBI from Sally Meloch, an assistant U.S. attorney, said she reviewed the reports but "determined that there is insufficient evidence to establish that there was a murder-for-hire plot by Ms. Smith to kill Pierce Marshall."
Reached at her Los Angeles office on Tuesday, Meloch didn't recall the case, but said, "Any investigations that we didn't proceed with, we couldn't comment on anyway."
An attorney for Smith's estate, Kent Richland, was surprised by the allegations.
"I have not heard anything about that," he said.
An attorney for the Marshall estate, including for the younger Marshall's widow, said he couldn't immediately comment.
