FORT LAUDERDALE, USA (UPI):  Anna Nicole Smith will be buried in the Bahamas, the three people who had been battling in a Florida courtroom for her remains said.

The attorney for Anna Nicole Smith's estranged mother had earlier collapsed in the courtroom during a hearing on where Smith should be buried.

John O'Quinn, a lawyer for Virgie Arthur, collapsed in court at midday after more than three hours of testimony, the Miami Herald said.

When Circuit Judge Larry Seidlin asked O'Quinn, a diabetic, what he needed, the attorney replied, orange juice.

The judge ordered a recess. On the way out he said, "I'm working them too hard."

Arthur said she wanted the body released to her so Smith can be buried in her home state of Texas.

Smith's companion, Howard K. Stern, wanted the body to be buried in the Bahamas next to Smith's son, Daniel, who died in September. Stern said it was Smith's wish to be buried beside her son.

Smith died February 8 in a Florida hotel room of unknown causes.

Appearing outside the Broward County, Fla., courthouse after Circuit Judge Larry Seidlin ruled that Smith's body should go to her 5-month-old daughter were Howard K. Stern, Smith's companion; Larry Birkhead, her ex-boyfriend, and Vigie Arthur, her estranged mother.

"She's going to be going back to the Bahamas with her son," Stern said.

Birkhead said the three, after days of acrimony during proceedings to determine who gets Smith's body, "understand that we all loved Anna and it's in her best interests to come together, get this worked out and lay her to rest."

Shortly after their joint appearance, Richard Milstein, the court-appointed guardian of Dannielynn Smith, announced that he intends to bury Anna Nicole Smith in the Bahamas, TMZ.com said.
