Anna Nicole Smith’s mother is adamant that her grandson, Daniel Smith, was murdered and she thinks that Anna Nicole and partner Howard K Stern are lying about the father of their new baby, Dannielynn.

Virgie Arthur told CNN Headline News that she refuses to believe the coroners’ verdict that there was “no criminality” involved in Daniel’s death: “Somebody had to give it to him. I just know Danny didn’t kill himself. Danny wouldn’t take drugs to begin with. I don’t believe that for a minute. You could not convince me of that.”

And as for Dannielynn, born just days before her half-brother’s death last month, Virgie said there is “no way” Stern is the father: “Larry Birkhead, the photographer, is the biological dad.”

“One big sticking point here is that Stern doesn’t want to come back to the US and do the paternity tests, and the reason being, he knows he’s not the dad.”

“If Howard marries [Anna Nicole] and she ends up dead, then who does the money go to? Danny’s not there.”
