Larry Birkhead Buys House in Kentucky Hometown
Originally posted 06/07/2008 01:00PM
Larry Birkhead has purchased a 10,000-sq.-ft., six-bedroom house in his hometown of Louisville, Ky., for himself and 21-month-old daughter Dannielynn, he tells PEOPLE.
Birkhead, 35, says the house, which has 40-ft. ceilings and is modeled after a Sicilian church, was never completed, needs a lot of work, and right now "looks like a haunted house," but he loves it.
"When I walked in, I said to myself, 'This is our home!'" says Birkhead.
He adds he might sell the Los Angeles house where he's surrounded by memories of its former occupants – Dannielynn's mother, Anna Nicole Smith, and half-brother Daniel, who both died from drug-related complications.

Jury Rules: Daniel Smith Died of an Overdose
Originally posted 03/31/2008 01:20PM
Anna Nicole Smith's 20-year-old son Daniel died from an accidental drug overdose, according to the findings of a Bahamas jury – which recommends no criminal charges be filed.
The seven panelists deliberated less than two hours before returning the verdict on Monday, the Associated Press reports.
Daniel died Sept. 10, 2006, shortly after he arrived in the Bahamas to meet his new baby half-sister, Dannielynn, who was born in a Nassau hospital.
An autopsy whose results were announced in December determined that Daniel died as a result of a lethal combination of methadone and the antidepressants Zoloft and Lexapro.

Dannielynn Officially Named Anna Nicole Smith's Sole Heir
Originally posted 03/04/2008 03:45PM
A petition to have Anna Nicole Smith's 18-month-old daughter Dannielynnn declared the sole heir to her estate was approved Tuesday by a Los Angeles judge.
In court papers filed in Superior Court Oct. 18, 2007, Howard K. Stern, the executor of Smith's estate, sought to clarify Smith's intentions in her July 2001 will, drafted five years before Dannielynn Hope's September 2006 birth. (Smith died in February 2007.)
"We and Mr. Stern always believed that Anna Nicole never intended to disinherit her daughter,"' Stern's lawyer, Bruce S. Ross, said after Tuesday's hearing. "I'm pleased to say this chapter in the saga is closed."

Anna Nicole's Death: One-Year Anniversary
Originally posted 02/08/2008 08:10AM
Friday marks the one-year anniversary of the discovery of Anna Nicole Smith's lifeless body in a Florida hotel room – the sorrowful finish to a real-life soap opera that managed to both captivate and shock those who followed it.
Nowhere is Smith's passing more profoundly felt than in the late centerfold and reality-star's Los Angeles home, now occupied by Anna Nicole's 17-month-old daughter, Dannielynn, and the baby's father, Larry Birkhead.
"There's pictures everywhere in the house of her mom and of Daniel. She knows," Birkhead recently told PEOPLE. (Daniel, Smith's 19-year-old son, died only days after Dannielynn was born.)

Pathologist: Drug Cocktail Killed Anna Nicole's Son
Originally posted 12/11/2007 09:15AM
Anna Nicole Smith's 20-year-old son Daniel died as a result of a lethal combination of methadone and the antidepressants Zoloft and Lexapro, pathologist Dr. Govinda Raju said Monday.
According to Raju, who performed the official autopsy on Smith, this particular drug cocktail is capable of becoming fatal in about five hours. Raju confirmed the findings of a doctor who privately examined the cadaver of the reality star's son in the Bahamas on Sept. 10, 2006, the very day Daniel died.

The long-delayed inquest into the mysterious death of Anna Nicole Smith's son finally began Monday in the Bahamas.
