'People' To Be Credited With First Telling You Which Exact Drugs Killed Anna Nicole Smith's Son
In a world exclusive that must have led to plenty of hushed, solemn high-fiving and low-key fist-pumping around the People magazine editorial offices, the celebrity weekly is claiming dibs on the results of the toxicology report from a private autopsy performed on Anna Nicole Smith's son. The results indicated the boy had a fatal cocktail of methadone and anti-depressants coursing through his veins:
The death of Anna Nicole Smith's 20-year-old son Daniel was caused by a lethal combination of methadone, Zoloft and Lexapro, pathologist Cyril Wecht has revealed to PEOPLE exclusively.
Wecht said the drugs caused the cardiac dysrhythmia that led to Daniel's death. Wecht got the toxicology results from National Medical Services in Willow Grove, Pa., today.
Currently in a state of mournful shock over the story that slipped through their fingers, the celebrity gossip machine will soon be scrambling to catch up to People's big scoop. In Touch Weekly is reportedly in talks to score the last known photographs of Daniel Smith's empty prescription bottles, while Entertainment Tonight will undoubtedly contact Christina "I saw Daniel in my class a few times—hey, did I mention I'm an aspiring actress?" Corigliano for her imagined insights into Smith's state of mind.
