Guardian of Dannielynn to Receive Custody of Anna Nicole Smith’s Body

Judge Larry Seidlin ruled today (February 22, 2007) that Richard Milstein, as guardian of Dannielynn, has the superior right to control the final disposition of Anna Nicole Smith’s body.

Judge Seidlin is also requiring Milstein to consult with Howard K. Stern, Larry Birkhead, and Virgie Arthur in making his decision.

At first, the decision was made to have Anna’s body returned to the Bahamas and buried next to Daniel, her son.  Judge Seidlin is reported as stating that this was a good decision.

However, Virgie Arthur, Anna’s mother, has already appealed Judge Seidlin’s ruling.
