DANNIELYNN’S APPOINTED GUARDIAN WINS CUSTODY OF REMAINS
The attorney appointed for ANNA NICOLE SMITH’s baby daughter has been awarded the late model’s remains with a Florida court’s recommendation to bury her next to her son DANIEL in The Bahamas.
Baby DANNIELYNN’s legally-appointed guardian, RICHARD MILLSTEIN, will now make a final decision as to where Smith will be buried after consulting with the late celebrity’s mother, VIRGIE ARTHUR, her companion HOWARD K. STERN and ex-boyfriend LARRY BIRKHEAD.
In an emotionally-charged Florida courtroom yesterday (22FEB07), Circuit Judge LARRY SEIDLIN broke down as he signed the order to release Anna Nicole’s remains, sobbing, "She had to live all of her years under this kind of exposure. I just get a week and a half of it and it’s ready to flatten me down." In awarding Millstein the remains, tearful Seidlin added, "This is not a happy moment. I want her buried with her son in The Bahamas. I want them to be together. She’s gonna be with her son." Earlier yesterday, the dramatic Judge told the court, "I have suffered with this (case), I have struggled with this. I have shed tears." Seidlin’s decision was somewhat of a surprise - many expected the judge to award the remains to Smith’s mother, who wanted to bury her daughter in her native Texas, or Stern, who both sobbed as the ruling was read out.
Stern fought to bury Smith’s remains in The Bahamas but his custody bid for the corpse was denied.
Meanwhile, as the fight continues over the paternity of baby Dannielynn, Seidlin washed his hands of the battle, concluding, "I hope to God that you guys give the kid the right shot." Anna Nicole Smith died on her way to hospital on 8 February (07) after a private nurse found her unconscious in her hotel suite at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Florida.
