The death of Daniel Smith, Anna Nicole's son, cannot be ruled as a homicide, a Bahamian court announced on Thursday.

A court magistrate in the inquest would only be able to list the cause of death as either an accident, "misadventure," "non-dependent drug use" or "open verdict." No one involved in the case had suggested homocide as an option.

"Misadventure" is defined as "a hazardous course of action which ended fatally, while an "open verdict" means the jury was unable to come to a conclusion of the cause of death.
