According to People magazine, coroner Linda P. Virgil explained, "We wish to reserve the cause of death at this time pending the toxicologist examination and report for confirmation of cause of death. Friday is the likely release date for the autopsy and toxicology report."
There were no apparent bruises on the young man’s body. Smith, 20, was found dead in a chair in a Nassau hospital just days after his mother gave birth to a baby girl.
Reginald Ferguson, a commissioner for the Royal Bahamas Police Force reported, "It would appear from our report that the mother had gotten up, saw him in the chair and he appeared to be sound asleep. She tried to wake him up, he was unresponsive and she sounded the alarm."
During a press conference at the hospital, Barry Rassin, who is the hospital’s president, expressed his sincere condolences to Anna Nicole Smith, her immediate family, and friends of the young man.
