LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - The 20-year-old son of Anna Nicole Smith died suddenly in the Bahamas on Sunday, three days after the former Playboy Playmate gave birth to a girl, Smith's attorney said.
A statement from Howard K. Stern, Anna Nicole Smith's attorney, did not provide any details of Daniel Smith's death.
Daniel Smith was in the Caribbean nation where his mother, 38, gave birth to a healthy girl on Thursday, Stern said.
He appeared in "The Anna Nicole Show," a reality TV series that aired on the E! cable channel.

Stingray?
Bad, very bad!
Wow... sad news for a kid.
He was a bit camera shy and regardless of who his mom is he is still a young man who lost his life.
May he be at peace.
I have known girls like Anna and sometimes others care for the kids and it is OK if Mum is more concerned with her nail and hair beauty.
Still we should not pine the kids.
Tequila and jump off roof?
"In Loving Memory. DANIEL WAYNE SMITH - 1/22/1986 - 9/10/2006. On September 7th Anna Nicole gave birth to a healthy 6 pound, 9 ounce baby girl. Her son Daniel was in the Bahamas with her to share in the joy of his baby sister when he passed away suddenly on the morning on September 10th."
They do not currently know the cause of death, but it is not believed to be related to drugs or alcohol.

Crikey mate.
First one in.
Sad a life was lost.
Somehow she bred and being nice I have to welcome her new baby hope the dogs will move over... and Pray to God Nicole is not the joke she acted out on tv.
My blessings to the Mom and new baby, hope a dad will step up and make it the real deal..
"I didn't watch her series after the first episode but others who did commented this teenager was the only adult on the show."
Perfect assessment. The few times(twice maybe) that I saw him on television, I thought the same. The loss of a young life is always a tragedy. God rest his soul and comfort his loved ones.
Been there, done that...
It's not THAT hard!
Well she couldn't have been a steckler.
...A barb to the heart....
Starved to death when she had to wean him because she had a new mouth to feed?
That's very sad - if I recall, he was a nice kid, surprisingly normal considering his environment.
What a bizarre turn of events. I don't know what to say. Had she brought her baby home from the hospital? Did she find her son dead? Talk about post-partum depression, in someone very unstable to begin with.
Lord, please help this little baby girl, who will need lots of caretaking - and may her young son rest in peace. (With her old husband and her old stepson.)
Old dead husband and old dead stepson?
