Richard Jeni 1957-2007

Comedian Richard Jeni 49-years young commited suicide on March 10th by gunshot to the head, I think it is important to recognize someone who felt ignored in his life, I don't like placing blame when it comes to suicide. He was a funny comedian. He was frequently a guest on The Tonight Show and Hollywood Squares. His last acting role was in a episode of "Everybody Hates Chris" called "Everybody Hates Rejection." He is perhaps best known for playing Jim Carrey's best friend in the film The Mask. He had three HBO Speicals. He was diagonised with clinic depression and psychotic paranoia.

Anna Nicole Smith's Death

I was covering the subject of Daniel, Anna Nicole's son's death previously and now Anna dies at the Semonial Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in Hollywood, Florida, where I went to for my birthday in August. Her daughter is only five months old. Her bodyguard found her still body in her hotel room this afternoon and she was rushed to Memorial Regional Hospital where she was pronounced dead. "Edwina Johnson, chief investigator for the Broward County Medical Examiner's Office, said the cause of death was under investigation and an autopsy would be done on Friday." - SignOnSanDiego.com

This is the biggest news topic today. I took Daniel's case very personally because he took meds for his depression which I also do (well, with anxiety and ADD). It is all just saddening and tragic. Yes, Anna was 39 and the butt of many jokes, was in fights with her deceased husband's family over his inheritance, and so forth but she suffered a terrible lost and now this death after an collapse. I believe it is pretty suspicious.

Daniel Wayne Smith Mysterious Death

While everyone might already know, Anna Nicole Smith's 20 year old son Daniel Wayne Smith died of unknown causes in the Bahamas. Once he arrived there Saturday, he went straight to the hospital and stayed in his mother's room where she had given birth to her daughter Thursday. When Anna woke up, she saw him in a chair and she thought he was sound asleep. When he didn't respond, she sounded the alarm. The autopsy is underway. It is exteremly sad that she gave birth to her new daughter and say goodbye to her son on the same week.

Police do not suspect foul play at this time and Forbes.com said that drugs or alcohol were not believed to be a factor. Post Chronicle.com says he was a straight "A" student. Daniel Smith was on Anna Nicole's reality show and had small roles in her movies "Skyscraper" and "To the Limit." He was son of Billy Smith, from Anna's 1985 marriage. The couple, who met while working together at Jim's Krispy Fried Chicken in Mexia, Texas, divorced in 1987.
