Diana’s driver was drunk, tests prove
New DNA evidence proves that Princess Diana’s driver was drunk on the night they died in a crash in a Paris underpass in 1997, the BBC said.
The tests confirm that original postmortem blood samples were from driver Henri Paul and that he had three times France’s legal blood-alcohol limit, the BBC said, quoting from a documentary it will broadcast today.
An official British report on the crash, to be published Thursday, is expected to find that her death was an accident and also concludes that Paul was drunk, a London newspaper reported.
