Anna Nicole Smith Gives Birth To Daughter, Loses Son 3 Days Later

The former Playboy Playmate's 20-year-old son was found dead in a Nassau hospital Sunday, three days after Smith gave birth to a healthy baby girl in the Bahamas.
Daniel Smith had traveled to the Caribbean nation to be with his mother, according to a statement posted on her official Website. His body was discovered Sunday morning in a room of the private Doctor's Hospital in Nassau. Police declined to provide specifics about the circumstances of the death, which remains under investigation.
"We have yet to learn the cause of death but do not believe that drugs or alcohol were a factor," Smith's lawyer, Howard K. Stern, said in a statement. "Anna Nicole is absolutely devastated by the loss of her son. He was her pride and joy and an amazing human being."
As a teenager, Daniel Smith made frequent appearances on his mother's eponymous E! Entertainment reality show. (E! Online and E! Entertainment are divisions of E! Networks.)
Daniel was the product of Smith's marriage to Billy Smith, whom she married in 1985, when she was 16 and he was 17. The couple divorced in 1987. Smith announced her pregnancy in June. She has not revealed who fathered her daughter.
