In a shocking testimony regarding the death of Anna’s son, Daniel
Smith, Larry Birkhead, the playmate’s former lover, told the court that the
20-year-old young man was a drug abuser.
According to Larry, Anna Nicole preferred her son to mess
with drugs in her house rather than experiment with friends, so she even gave
him an Ecstasy pill.
Birkhead said that, in the months before his death, Daniel
had got involved with a bad crowd at school and started drinking alcohol and
abusing drugs.
"She didn't care for the kids he was hanging out with
at the community college he attended," said Birkhead, who added that
between January and May 2006, while he lived with Anna Nicole, he noticed an
increasing tension between mother and son. Apparently, Daniel lost a lot of
weight and was hospitalized following sedatives abuse in that period.
Birkhead also testified that in April 2006, Anna realized
that some of her methadone was missing, so she set up surveillance cameras in
the house. When checking them, she found out that Daniel and his friends were
stealing her drugs.
While he was at war over Anna’s girl Dannielynn with Howard
K. Stern, Larry Birkhead declared that he had seen Stern smoking pot together
with Anna and Daniel. After making peace with Stern and gaining full custody of
Dannielynn, Birkhead changed his testimony, saying he was unsure of what he
saw.
He also changed his mind about his previous testimony that
Anna gave her son methadone.
Daniel Smith died on the 10th of September 2006 from
an accidental overdose of methadone, Zoloft and Lexapro.
