Howard Hopes to Cash In On Death Photos of Anna's Son
Leech Howard K. Stern took several photographs of Daniel Smith's lifeless body, thinking he could make a profit on the morbid shots, a former companion of Anna Nicole Smith's testified Wednesday during the ongoing inquest into her 20-year-old son's 2006 death.
G. Ben Thompson, the South Carolina real estate developer who owned the waterfront house in the Bahamas where Smith and Stern stayed for about five months with Smith's newborn daughter Dannielynn, said that Stern told him the pictures "might be worth some money one day."
"I was totally shocked he was taking pictures of a dead child laying in that bed," Thompson said.
