Funeral Held For Daniel Smith

A funeral was held in the Bahamas for Anna Nicole Smith's son on Thursday, nearly six weeks after he mysteriously died while visiting his reality TV star mother.

A gold-colored hearse brought the body of Daniel Smith to the cemetery, where the mahogany casket was whisked inside a large green tent for the service.

"The only thing I can tell you is it's going now," Deborah Cartwright of Lakeview Memorial Gardens & Mausoleums, the cemetery in Nassau, told The Associated Press.

According to well-known American pathologist Dr. Cyril Wecht, the 20-year-old died from the "accidental" effect of methadone and two antidepressant drugs interacting in his system.

The low levels of the three drugs detected by toxicology tests indicated Daniel Smith died "a tragic, accidental, drug-related death," Wecht, who conducted a private autopsy, told The Associated Press on Sept. 27.
