Anna Nicole Son's Second Autopsy Needs Second Try

Anna Nicole's son received a second autopsy over the weekend, which proved inconclusive. The pathologist who performed the procedure, Cyril Wecht, also consulted in the deaths of Elvis Presley, Laci Petersen, and Jon Benet Ramsey.

He was able to rule out heart disease, stroke, cancer, systemic infection, and some other, natural, causes. He also said there were no signs of foul play, direct or indirect. He confirmed the young man had been on antidepressants, but the doses were low and there were no signs of an overdose.

He agreed the circumstances were "suspicious," but -- like the Bahamian authorities stressed -- only due to the age of the deceased. He has ordered more tests, meaning Daniel Smith will actually receive three autopsies.

Officials have stated they think they know what killed Anna Nicole's son, but will not say until toxicology reports and an inquest have been completed.
