Howard K. Stern, Smith's attorney and lover, who was also interviewed, spoke of what he remembers of Sept. 10, the day Daniel died.

"Well, I remember Anna saying 'Howard, Howard, wake up! Daniel's not breathing!'" said Stern. "I went over and checked his neck and I didn't feel anything and we immediately called the nurse."

"He said, 'Sit down'... he said, 'Daniel's dead.' I said, 'What are you talking about? and he said, 'Daniel's dead,'" said Smith, remembering when Stern told her the news.

"I thought they were playing that game they play on TV ... 'Punk'd,'" said Smith, referring to Ashton Kutcher's MTV show.
