There was a second autopsy performed on Anna Nicole Smith's son (Daniel) by a pathologist (CYRIL WECHT) who has confirmed that Daniel was on anti-depressants at the time of his death.

It has been reported that Daniel had been on a "low dose" of the anti-depression medication for a total of about 4 to 6 weeks due to a recent break-up with a girlfriend.

The reason why this may be important to pathologists and others investigating the untimely death of this young man, is that both the original coroner and this pathologist have ruled out: heart disease, cancer, systemic infection, and a pulmonary embolism.

At this time, there is no proof that there is a connection between Daniel's death and his use of anti-depressants, and the case is still pending.

Daniel was Anna Nicole's only child with her first husband and was 20 years old at the time of his death. He died in a chair of the hospital room his mother was staying in after delivering her second child ( a daughter) by cesarean section in the Bahamas.

It has been reported that Daniel and his mother shared a very close and loving relationship; Visit Anna Nicole's site which has an opening dedicated to her son Daniel: http://www.annanicole.com/
