Anna Nicole Smith supports a formal inquest to determine how her 20-year-old son died while visiting her in the hospital, one of her attorneys said Thursday. “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,” said Michael Scott. Witnesses -- including Smith, hospital staff and others who saw her son the night of his death -- were expected to be summoned as part of a jury inquest.
“She’s resting. She’s obviously devastated,” Scott said. “It’s going to take a long time to heal. She’s in seclusion and she wants some privacy.”
