The Associate Press reports that a death certificate has been been issued for Anna Nicole Smith‘s son, Daniel Smith. Smith’s attorney, Michael Scott said the move was made so that Smith could bury her son pending the outcome of additional tests (results are expected to take up to two weeks).

“It is not unusual in instances where the cause of death cannot be determined to issue a death certificate,” he explained. “This is not a matter of special treatment being given in this particular case.”

Meanwhile, Smith is moving forward with her life, says Scott. She has filed for a birth certificate for her daughter and will most likely be staying in the Bahamas where she has been granted permanent residency, he tells the AP.

She’s much better,” he insists. “You never get over that, you get through it. Time is the catalyst for that.”
