===Death of son===
On September 10, 2006, Smith's 20-year-old son Daniel Wayne Smith died in his mother's hospital room while visiting her and his half sister Dannielynn, who was born three days earlier on September 7. An autopsy found that Daniel had died from a combination of drugs, including [[methadone]] and antidepressants. A Bahamian jury determined that he had died from an accidental drug overdose and recommended no criminal charges.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.cbsnews.com/news/jury-anna-nicoles-son-death-an-accident/ |title=Jury: Anna Nicole's Son Death An Accident |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20211122080038/https://www.cbsnews.com/news/jury-anna-nicoles-son-death-an-accident/ |archive-date=November 22, 2021 |website=CBS.com |agency=Associated Press |date=March 31, 2008}}</ref><ref>{{Cite news |url=http://today.msnbc.msn.com/id/14782573/ns/today-entertainment/t/anna-nicole-smiths-adult-son-dies-bahamas |title=Anna Nicole Smith's adult son dies in Bahamas |website=today.com |agency=Associated Press |location=Nassau, Bahamas |date=September 12, 2006 |access-date=October 16, 2011 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161108060412/http://www.today.com/id/14782573/ns/today-entertainment/t/anna-nicole-smiths-adult-son-dies-bahamas |archive-date=November 8, 2016 |url-status=dead}}</ref><ref>{{Cite news |url=http://www.today.com/id/15036342 |title=Officials: Anna Nicole probe not closed |website=today.com |agency=Associated Press |location=San Juan, Puerto Rico |date=September 29, 2006 |access-date=February 14, 2007 |archive-date=August 6, 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200806224836/http://www.today.com/id/15036342 |url-status=dead }}</ref>

According to Stern, Smith was devastated by her son's death. "Anna and Daniel were inseparable. Daniel was without question the most important person in Anna's life," Stern said during his testimony at the trial regarding the right to control disposition of Smith's remains. "At Daniel's funeral, she had them open the coffin and tried to climb inside. She said that 'if Daniel has to be buried, I want to be buried with him.' She was ready to go down with him."<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.recordonline.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20070220/ENTERTAIN/70220018 |title=Howard K.

From the time I met her, everything was for Daniel. I would say that physically, she died last week, but in a lot of ways, emotionally she died when Daniel died."<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.people.com/people/article/0,,1536410_20012329,00.html |title=Howard K.
