Anna Nicole Smith to Have Second Autopsy on Son, Daniel Smith

Posted in: Celebrity,Deceased

The story continues to get stranger and stranger. It appears that Anna Nicole Smith has been given permission to have a second private pathologist to perform an independent autopsy on Daniel Smith. It was earlier reported that the autopsy performed by the Bahamas was to be released today. However, even prior to any autopsy finding, Anna Nicole Smith has requested that a second one be performed.

The results of Daniel Smith’s autopsy have yet to be released, but Anna Nicole Smith is already calling for a do-over.

The Bahamian coroner’s office has authorized the former reality star to bring in a private pathologist to perform a second autopsy on her 20-year-old son, who died suddenly last Sunday.

Cyril Wecht, a forensic pathologist from Pittsburgh who has consulted in high-profile cases including the deaths of
