Anna Nicole's body to leave for Bahamas tomorrow

Anna Nicole Smith’s body will leave for the Bahamas by private plane tomorrow morning, and the starlet will be buried hours later, said the attorney given control of her remains after weeks of legal fighting.

Police will escort a hearse before dawn to Miami International Airport for the trip to the Bahamian capital of Nassau, said Richard Milstein, the court-appointed advocate for Smith’s five-month-old daughter, Dannielynn.

The funeral will take place later that morning in Nassau, Milstein said today.

Both services are closed to the public.

The burial would close one part of the legal dispute surrounding Smith’s February 8 death in a hotel room at age 39.

Her boyfriend, estranged mother and an ex-boyfriend have argued over who gets the body and who gets custody of Smith’s baby daughter, who could inherit millions of pounds.

Smith will be buried next to her 20-year-old son, Daniel, said a friend helping to organise the memorial.
