Anna Nicole Smith is "overwhelmed" by the suspicious sudden death of her son.

The former Playboy Playmate has had to be sedated after 20-year-old Daniel was found dead in her hospital room in the Bahamas on Sunday (10.09.06).

Her attorney, Michael Scott, confirmed: "She is overwhelmed as you would expect of any parent who has sustained this kind of loss."

On Wednesday (13.09.06), medical experts in the Bahamas revealed Daniel might have been killed.

Just days after saying foul play was not suspected, they revealed they now believe Daniel Smith's death is "suspicious" and could lead to criminal charges being filed.

Bradley Neely, the chief inspector of the Bahamas coroner's office confirmed: "Whenever there is a suspicious death we would have an inquest to determine how the person died."

Scott also revealed that Anna Nicole is so traumatised by the tragedy that she can't remember what happened.

He said: "The devastation and grief over Daniel's sudden death coupled with the sedation has been so extreme that Anna Nicole experienced memory loss of the event.

"She was so distraught at the loss of Daniel that she refused to leave his side, and it was necessary to sedate her in order to check her out of the hospital."
