Diana: death of a goddess
Some theories around the circumstances surrounding the death of Diana.
By David Cohen
Recommended to me by a patron, I found this to be an interesting read. It takes an analytical look at the investigation that followed the deaths of princess Diana, Dodi Al Fayed and Henri Paul. It asks the questions that you yourself might want answers to, such as why was red tail light glass collected 14 days after the accident and not collected at the time of the accident. Why was the tunnel opened only 90 minutes after the wreck had been removed when, at other times, the French investigators had closed main roads for days following accidents? And if there were no speed cameras in the tunnel at the time of the accident, then how is that photo on the back cover even possible? It also discusses the similarities of other high profile deaths such as Princess Grace of Monaco and looks at the bizarre death of Andanson, the photographer, who was not at the accident scene and why that fact alone was unusual. Regardless of whether you buy into all the conspiracy theories or not, this is a very thought provoking read – well worth a look.
