HOLLYWOOD - The death of Anna Nicole Smith's 20-year-old son Daniel was caused by a lethal combination of methadone, Zoloft and Lexapro, according to pathologist Cyril Wecht.
Wecht was hired by Smith to conduct a second autopsy on her son and revealed the results from toxicology tests yesterday.
The pathologist told People magazine the drugs caused the cardiac dysrhythmia that led to Daniel's death.
Zoloft and Lexapro are both classified as antidepressants, while methadone is used to treat heroin addiction.
The toxicology results were conducted by National Medical Services in Willow Grove, Pennsylvania, and released on Wednesday.
Daniel died in his mother's hospital room Sept. 10, while visiting her in the Bahamas three days after she gave birth to a baby girl named Dannielynne Hope.
Smith's longtime friend and lawyer Howard K. Stern revealed on Tuesday that he is the father of the baby.
