Mafud, It was widely reported at the time (CNN, London Times, CBS) that ambulance workers managed to revive her at the scene. The crash occurred just before 1 a.m.; she was taken to Hospital de la Pitie Salpetriere, where she was _not_ declared dead on arrival. Doctors stated afterwards that they worked to revive her unsuccessfully for two hours. Official Time of Death was 4 a.m. At least three witnesses on the scene and afterwards, including the bodyguard, Trevor Rees-Jones, testified that they heard her speak after the crash. That's in dispute--meaning that nobody knows if it's true or not. Now, she might well _not_ have spoken; she might well have been dead on impact; but there is no way to be positive of that. Given that she arrived at the hospital and was not declared D.O.A., and that the official time of death was more than three hours after the crash and yet the doctors describe their futile resuscitation efforts as lasting only two hours, I'm going to go on the evidence. --Mike - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.
