New probe into Princess Diana's driver
13 Aug 2004 - French authorities have launched a new probe into the autopsy on the chauffeur who was driving Diana, Princess of Wales, the night she died in Paris because of a challenge from his parents to the conclusion he caused the crash because he was drunk, officials said on Thursday.
The inquiry into blood tests conducted on Henri Paul, the chauffeur who died along with Diana and her boyfriend Dodi Al-Fayed in the crash on August 31, 1997, follows a long battle by Paul's parents and Dodi's multi-millionaire father, Mohamed Al-Fayed, to have the blood samples re-examined.
They claim their son was not an alcoholic and that the samples that formed the basis of the official conclusion blaming him for the deaths did not come from Paul's body.
