William Shakespeare’s dark and bloody play ‘Macbeth’ was considered the epitome of tragedy for the longest time. 

Sadly, Anna Nicole Smith death photo has taken over the title of being the most horrific tragedy. 

Former reality TV star and model, Anna Smith, earned recognition and fame due to her explicit Playboy covers. 

Her fame touched a new height after she launched a lawsuit against her late billionaire husband’s family regarding inheritance. 

Anna Nicole Smith’s life was a complex combination of ups and downs. Her share of struggles kept her down to earth, but her horrifyingly tragic death took over all of her achievements. 

Although sixteen years have elapsed since Anna’s death, it is still etched in people’s minds.

Former model departed from this world on February 8, 2007. According to The New York Times, the model was found unconscious at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in Hollywood.

In the initial days of the investigation, the Seminole Police Department found Anna’s cause of death to be accidental overdose. The suspicion of any criminal activity was completely ruled out. 

The toxicology report proposed that Anna Nicole Smith was suffering from a bacterial infection and flu at the time of the death. 

Moreover, the report found out about all the drugs that Smith had consumed right before her death. These included Valium, Methadone, and several other anti-depressants and anti-anxiety medications. 

A subsequent autopsy confirmed that the cause of Anna Smith’s death was combined drug intoxication, with the “major component” being chloral hydrate, a sleeping pill. 

The medical examiner further supported the Seminole Police Department’s investigation outcome and stated that Smith was living a contented life before her demise. 

In an interview with a magazine, Anna Nicole Smith’s long-time partner and lawyer, Howard K.Stern said:

“She was my best friend and my lover. She was everything to me, literally everything. My whole world.”

Stern added that contrary to what the public might believe, his beloved Anna never turned a blind eye towards death. 

She always talked about it with her partner, and believed that she would die early, at age 36-37 like the famous actress Marilyn Monroe. 

Just like she had predicted, Anna Smith passed away nine months before her 40th birthday. 

Grief did not leave Anna’s side for as long as she was alive. Just months before her own demise, her firstborn, Daniel had died due to an accidental overdose. 

Anna Nicole Smith’s life, career, death, and aftermath was featured in Netflix’s documentary, “You Don’t Know Me.”

After discussing Anna Nicole Smith death photo and tragic end, let’s take a look at the calamity that shook her months before her own demise. 

Exploring Anna Nicole Smith son death photo

On September 10, 2006, Smith’s firstborn and only son, Daniel passed away due to an accidental overdose at the age of 20. According to Stern, Smith never recovered from her son’s untimely death. 

Daniel’s unprecedented demise came just three days after Anna Smith had given birth to her second child and only daughter, Dannielynn Birkhead. 

Anna Smith’s son, Daniel, had been visiting his mom in the Bahamas in the days following Dannielynn’s arrival. 

Per a CNN report, he had died while spending the night in his mother’s hospital room and she had been the one to discover his body the following morning.

While recalling that time, clothing designer Pol’ Atteu said that Smith was a train wreck after Daniel’s passing. 

She did not want to work or live her life like she used to because according to her, everything that she did was for Daniel. 

Furthermore, she kept blaming herself for her beloved son’s death. She reiterated that her failure to take care of Daniel resulted in this tragedy. 

Anna repeatedly expressed her wish to die. She said, “I just want to die. I don’t deserve to be here. It should’ve been me.”

Just ten days before her death, Smith had said:

“I dream of him every day and every night. He comes to me in my sleep. It’s like he’s calling me to come to him.”

She did end up leaving the world just five months after Daniel’s death. Anna was laid to rest Lakeview Memorial Gardens & Mausoleum in the Bahamas, right next to her son.

Come to think of it, the loss of her first child and only son pushed Anna over the edge. She could never completely recover from it. 

Smith’s family did not end with her death. Her only living heir, her daughter, Dannielynn Birkhead, was only five months old when her mother passed away. 

Does Dannielynn know about Anna Nicole Smith death photo and her career? Let’s find out. 

Dannielynn Birkhead, Anna Smith’s only living heir 

Former Playboy star’s untimely death led to a fierce custody battle over her daughter, Dannielynn, who was her sole surviving heir.

Netflix’s portrayal of Anna Smith’s life and death renewed people’s interest in finding out the father of her then 5-months-old baby daughter. 

As Smith’s sole surviving heir, she was set to inherit any money that Smith was entitled to from the estate of her late husband.

Howard K. Stern, Smith’s lawyer and alleged lover who had been living with her in the Bahamas at the time of her death claimed that he was Dannielynn’s father.

His claim was strengthened as Dannielynn’s birth certificate stated Stern as her father. 

The truth came to light when entertainment photographer Larry Birkhead filed a lawsuit to prove that he was the father of Anna Smith’s daughter. 

Others such as Alexander Denk, a former bodyguard and chef for Smith, also made a claim of paternity as did Zsa Zsa Gabor’s husband, Frédéric Prinz von Anhalt. 

Anhalt emerged in the days following Smith’s death to state that he had a decade-long affair with the model and could potentially be the dad.

When so many people claimed to be Dannielynn’s father, it became pertinent to conduct a DNA test.

As a result of the test, Larry Birkhead’s biological relation to Dannielynn was proved and he was given the sole custody of her. 

Larry has been raising the former pair’s now 16-year-old daughter ever since.
