Distraught former Playboy Playmate Anna Nicole Smith was forced to sell photos of her son Daniel taken the night before he died in order to pay for his funeral expenses.<\/p>\n
The family portraits were taken in a hospital room in the Bahamas two days after the birth of Anna Nicole’s daughter and hours before her 20-year-old son was found dead. <\/p>\n
Photo agency Getty Images sold the photos to In Touch magazine for $400,000 after a fierce bidding war. <\/p>\n
According to In Touch executive editor Dan Wakeford, “We purchased the photos, beating the competition. <\/p>\n
“The photos were extremely emotive, and our readers are incredibly intrigued by this story.” <\/p>\n
Wakeford says the images show “a perfectly healthy young man.” <\/p>\n
While it is unclear what portion of the proceeds will go to Anna Nicole, a source tells Us Weekly magazine that the devastated star sold the pictures in order to pay for her son’s funeral. <\/p>\n
The source says, “She needs the money.” <\/p>\n
Getty Images claims that a portion of the profits from the sale of the photos will go to a charitable foundation to be set up in Daniel’s name. <\/p>\n
His body remains at Butler’s Funeral Home in the Bahamas and won’t be released to the family until the investigation into his death is complete. <\/p>\n
