The accident was caused by several factors, including speeding and drunk driving. The driver had a blood alcohol level three times the legal limit for driving. The high speed combined with pressure from the paparazzi, caused the driver to lose control of the vehicle and crash.

Bodyguard Trevor Rees-Jones was the sole survivor of the crash, because he was wearing a seatbelt and riding in the back. Rees-Jones suffered serious injuries and spent several weeks in the hospital.

How did Princess Diana die? The forensic report, carried out by Dr. Richard Shepherd, showed her death was caused by an unusual injury. It is so rare, that he has never seen it again during his career as a medical examiner.

Shepherd explains that the injury suffered by the princess was minor, and believes that her death could have been prevented by wearing a seat belt. This type of injury also explains why she was able to remain conscious for so long until emergency services arrived.

Conspiracy theories about her death

One of the most prevalent conspiracy theories is that Lady Di’s death was planned by the British royal family. Allegedly, the royals were concerned about Diana’s relationship with Dodi Al-Fayed and the possible impact this would have on their image. The theory is that the royal family staged the accident to get rid of Diana and maintain their control over the monarchy. However, there is no concrete evidence to support this.

Another theory suggests that Princess Diana’s death was arranged by the British secret service, MI6. This theory says that Diana posed a threat to the monarchy and the government due to her public criticism of them and her humanitarian efforts. Believers say MI6 orchestrated the accident to silence Diana and prevent her from speaking on these issues. This theory is also baseless.
