STAR TOLD YOU FIRST! DANIEL SMITH DIED OF LETHAL DRUG COMBINATION

September 28, 2006


Daniel Smith, the 20-year-old son if Anna Nicole Smith, died from a lethal combination of methadone and two antidepressant drugs, according to pathologist Cyril Wecht. Wecht, who conducted a private autopsy said toxicology reports show Daniel had methadone, Zoloft and Lexapro in his system when he died. Methadone is used to treat heroin addiction or as a pain reliever, while Zoloft and Lexapro are antidepressants. "The fact that we have these drugs and the levels of the drugs overwhelmingly and most logically point to this being a tragic, accidental, drug-related death," Wecht told The Associated Press.
