A private pathologist from the United States is expected to perform a second autopsy on Daniel Wayne Smith, son of Anna Nicole Smith. Daniel, 20, died in his mother’s hospital room in the Bahamas on Sept. 10. “It is nothing unusual for families to want their own pathologist to confirm or look for something that may have been overlooked” in the autopsy, according to head coroner Linda Virgill in the Bahamas. The Smith family’s pathologist will arrive on Saturday and will perform the autopsy on Sunday, Virgill said. While police who were called to scene did not find anything in Smith’s room to suggest a crime had been committed or evidence of drugs, according to authorities, a jury inquest is scheduled to begin Oct. 23. According to Anna’s Bahamian attorney, Michael Scott, “She fully wants this process to take place and she wishes the public to not jump to conclusions and to wait for the conclusion of the proceedings.”
