Anna Nicole Smith's Son's Death A Mystery

Source alleges that the medical team at Doctor's Hospital were unable to find the proper oxygen supply needed to resuscitate the young man.

The "how and why" surrounding 20-year-old Daniel Hogan's mysterious death is being kept under wraps in an autopsy report that should have been completed last night. The only son of American celebrity Anna Nicole Smith died on the maternity ward at Doctors Hospital while visiting his mother and newborn baby sister on Sunday.

According to sources close to the case, preliminary investigations revealed that various medications along with drugs were found in his system.

"All we know right now is that he was on anti-depressants," the source said. "Some things indicate that he probably overdosed on those drugs."

While local and international media and officials are fishing for answers into Daniel's death, there is much speculation as to exactly why his mother was in The Bahamas in the first place.

At a news conference to mark the fifth anniversary of the terrorist attacks on America, Prime Minister Perry Christie answered that question.

"One of the things I think you should know is that she was granted permanent residency last week," Prime Minister Christie said. "So she is in fact a permanent resident of The Bahamas."

Anonymous sources told The Guardian that Anna Nicole Smith recently bought a house in the high-end area on the Eastern Road. But media reports are also speculating that she might have had a caesarean section or complications during pregnancy because she was still in hospital three days after giving birth. It is still believed that Anna Nicole is still in the country, as Daniel's body was still under investigation by Doctor Govindo Raju, a pathologist at The Princess Margaret Hospital.

Daniel was reportedly vomiting uncontrollably before he collapsed and died. The source added that his mother went into a violent rage helplessly trying to revive her son. The room where they were "was a total mess," the source added, claiming that vomit and blood were splattered everywhere. According to workers in the hospital, seeing Daniel die before her eyes dealt a serious blow to his mother, who fought with the doctors in the room to get closer to her son's lifeless body. The source also alleged the medical team was unable to find the proper oxygen supply needed to resuscitate him at the time.

"That's nonsense," said the hospital chief. "That's total nonsense. I can't make any other comments at this time because number one, it's a police matter and number two, it's confidentiality of the patient that we will preserve."

The 38-year-old actress and model has not been spotted since the incident unfolded, but The Guardian news team was able to get a good view of her new born daughter as she was being carried out of the hospital on Sunday.

Her lawyer, Howard K Stern, used that opportunity to rush out of a side exit of Doctors Hospital, thereby avoiding the press.

Anna Nicole Smith, whose birth name is Vickie Lynn Hogan, is famous for her many Playboy magazine appearances and movie roles. Anna Nicole gave birth to her only son at age 18.

My Father's in ICU

I just want to let you know that my father is not doing to well. He is in the Intensive Care Unit in the hospital.

On Monday July 17th he had a spasm in his left arm which caused it to "lock-up". Tuesday (18th July) he was admitted into Doctor's Hospital for observation. This was after a scan of his head. The doctors noticed 3 spots that they believe are cancerous because of his history dealing with it. The doctor's are not sure wheather the spots in his brain are indeed cancerous or not. The only way they can do this is to do a biopsy. However they cannot do this because of the small size and the location in his brain. They do not want to go in there and do more damage. Basically dad was bleeding from these locations in his brain which are inflamed. The only other option to "treat" the damaged portions of his brain is with radiation.

Dad was released from the hospital on Thursday (20th July). It was so nice to have him at home again.

Since then dad has been having the radiation on his brain. Chemotherapy had to be stopped since the two forms togther can do more bad than good. Chemotherapy & radiation do not mix well together.

On Saturday 26th August dad had a 104 degree temperature.

Dad has not been able to speak like his usual self. He has been running out of breath easily. His breathing has gotton so bad. Quick short breaths.

On the Wednesday another high temp. And on Friday it was back up to 104 again. Dad looked really, really bad. He was buring right up but he did not want to go to the hospital because that night (Friday) was a planned suprize birthday party for mom (who's actual birthday was on the following Monday). Even though daddy did not want to go he had to, so he confessed to mommy about the party.

On Sunday (3rd Sep) he was admitted into ICU and has been there since. Dr. Curling said that dads breathing passage had been clogged with a clot. He said that the cancer was making it hard for him to breathe. Also they found out that dad had pneumonia. The doctors decided to open up his lunges so that he can breathe easier. They inserted a tube down daddy's throat into his lungs and he was put on a resperator (the breathing machine). He now also has a staph infection as a result from the "operation".

Monday it was believed that dad had had a stroke because he was not moving his left part of his body. He had a scan done in the morning to see what changes occured in his brain. If there was a stroke it would be visible in the results. We would also be able to see if the spots in his head had grown in any way. There were no changes compared to the previous scan done in July.

Mom has been in the hospital by daddy's side straight through. She is so tired and worn out. She's a trooper though. If she did not have her children, and good friends to support her I just don't know what type of state she'd be in. She's not eating well, a little piece of something here and there. At least she's eating something. We all keep asking her if shes hungry, if she wants a sandwitch etc.
