Foul Play?
NASSAU, Bahamas - Authorities believe they know what killed the 20-year-old son of Anna Nicole Smith but are awaiting a toxicology report to confirm their findings, and are holding open the possibility criminal charges will be filed, the Bahamas coroner said Wednesday.
Her Majesty's Coroner Linda P. Virgill told The Associated Press that once the coroner's office receives the toxicology report of David Wayne Smith, it could launch a formal inquiry and there is the possibility his death on Sunday could result in the filing of criminal charges.
"We do know the cause of death," Virgill said. "But we need to confirm it with a toxicology report."
She declined to disclose details but said there was no sign of physical injury to Smith, who died while visiting his mother, a reality TV star and former Playboy playmate, in a hospital three days after she gave birth to a baby girl.
Deepening the mystery, Virgill said there was at least one other person in the room when Smith died. She refused to elaborate.
"I can confirm that there was definitely a third person in the room at the time of death and I do know who that person is," she said. "But I am unwilling to reveal that information at this time for various reasons."
If a formal inquiry is launched, officials will not publicly disclose their findings until after it is completed, Virgill said in an interview.
Meanwhile, police were reconstructing Smith's steps since his arrival Saturday in the Bahamas, said Reginald Ferguson, the assistant commissioner of the Royal Bahamian Police Force.
Ferguson told the AP that no drug paraphernalia or traces of illegal drugs were found on Daniel Smith, in the hospital room or near the room.
"We haven't found any illegal drugs or anything of that nature in the course of this investigation," he said.
Police believe Smith went directly to Doctors Hospital in Nassau, where his mother was, after flying in to the Bahamas, Ferguson said.

yeah the whole situation is shady...20 yr olds don't just have massive heart attacks...
Actually, they do. My BIL's friend dropped dead at 17 from a massive hert attack. They were playing basketball, he had a leaky valve (no one knew) and he went into cardiac arrest and died. 
But I don't know the situation here. It's just so sad. And it's even sadder that I think they're going to blame Anna now!
