I've been called a thief and that angers me... I've been harassed."Lin Wood and Howard (have been) sending threatening letters".Brighthaupt was the bodyguard who attempted to revive Smith after she was found dead in a hotel suite in Florida in February (07).
Meanwhile the long-serving bodyguard Big Moe recently suffered a mild heart attack, brought on by the stress following the death of the tragic actress/model.

And now sources claim his mistress' death, and the ongoing investigation into it, have taken their toll on Big Moe's health.
The National Enquirer reports Brighthaupt was taken to hospital on 13 October (07) suffering from chest pains. He was diagnosed as having had a mild heart attack and released into a doctor's care.
His publicist, Paul Porter, tells the publication, "This past year has been a nightmare for him".
A source adds, "He's only 39, he's a strong man, a former college basketball star and a firefighter. But this ongoing saga is destroying him".
