CAN WE LEAVE ANNA NICOLE SMITH TO REST NOW?

Posted by Blogger on March 26th, 2007

The coroner has released his report in the death of former Playboy model, Anna Nicole Smith. She died of an accidental drug overdose - “combined drug intoxication”. Nine different ones….. It’s all very sad for her baby daughter, born just a few days before her son Daniel’s tragic and untimely death.
The saga is not quite over yet, as the paternity battle continues. Will photographer Larry Birkhead ultimately prove that he is the biological father of the baby, or will lawyer/boyfriend Howard K. Stern continue his fancy legal maneuvers and drag this on for years to come? Lets not forget Virgie Arthur, Anna Nicole’s estranged mom. She would like custody of the baby too.
Did I forget to mention that the legal battles of the estate of Anna Nicole’s 93 year old late husband, billionaire, J. Howard Marshall are still not concluded? Now baby Dannielynn could stand to inherit over $400 million……

Anna Nicole and Larry Birkhead
