Doctor: Anna Nicole Smith's Son Daniel Died of Combination of Methadone and Antidepressants

Anna Nicole Smith's late son Daniel died of a combination of methadone and the antidepressants Zoloft and Lexapro, which likely turned lethal about five hours after he took them, a pathologist testified Monday at the late boy's inquest.

Dr. Govinda Raju — who performed the official autopsy on Daniel after he died Sept. 10, 2006 in the Bahamas — said the boy also had five other drugs in his system — including two that were used in an attempt to revive him, the Associated Press reports.

At the time of his death, a distraught Anna Nicole — who passed away just five months later — clung to him.

Testimony is scheduled to resume Tuesday.
