Anna Nicole Smith's son was not the victim of a homicide, the Bahamian court conducting an inquest of his death ruled, TMZ.com reports.
The court will now decide between four causes of death: an accident, "misadventure" (defined as "a hazardous course of action which ended fatally"), non-dependent drug use or an "open verdict" (meaning the jury could not reach a decision), according to TMZ.
Daniel Smith died at the age of 20 in September 2006 from an accidental overdose of Methadone and the anti-depressants Zoloft and Lexapro.
On Monday, Larry Birkhead testified that Daniel stole some of Anna Nicole's Methadone months before his death and was hospitalized for taking too much Valium in July 2006.
Anna Nicole died of an accidental overdose about five months after Daniel's death.
