On August 31 1997, DIANA PRINCESS OF WALES died as a result of injuries sustained in a car accident in the Pont de l’Alma road tunnel in Paris, France while speeding to escape paparazzi. Her companion, Dodi Fayed and driver, Henri Paul, were also pronounced dead at the scene of the accident. Fayed’s bodyguard, Trevor Rees-Jones, was the only survivor. An eighteen-month French judicial investigation concluded in 1999 that the car crash that killed Diana was caused by her chauffeur Paul, who lost control of the car at high speed while intoxicated and under the influence of antidepressants.
The two forward passengers’ airbags had functioned normally. None of the car’s occupants were wearing seat belts.
As the casualties lay seriously injured or dead in their wrecked car, the photographers continued to take pictures. The critically injured Diana was reported to repeatedly murmur the words, "oh my God", and after the photographers were pushed away by emergency teams, the words "leave me alone".
