Expert casts doubt on accuracy of Diana driver's blood tests

The procedures followed by French medical examiners to determine whether Henri Paul was drunk, had "inconsistencies", the inquest into the death of Diana, Princess of Wales was told today.

Important blood samples taken from the driver who crashed, killing Diana and Dodi Fayed, were thought to have come from his heart but were later discovered to have been removed from his chest cavity, a less reliable source for testing.
