On July 14, 2024, a special episode of Guillaume Pley’s YouTube show _Legend_<\/a> aired. This time, forensic pathologist Philippe Boxho dissected ten famous deaths that deeply impacted history.<\/p>\n

Princess Diana: The Fatal Accident That Shook the World<\/h2>\n

On August 31, 1997, the world mourned<\/a> as Diana Spencer, known affectionately as Lady Di, died in a car accident<\/a> under Paris’s Pont de l’Alma. She and her then-boyfriend, Dodi Al-Fayed, were trying to outrun relentless paparazzi. The tragedy sent shockwaves globally. Her state funeral on September 6 gathered more than three million grieving attendees in London. Even after renouncing her princess status in 1996 post-divorce from Prince Charles, Lady Di remained a beloved public figure.<\/p>\n

The circumstances surrounding her death fueled countless rumors<\/a>. Though she didn’t die immediately, she succumbed to her injuries at Piti\u00e9-Salp\u00eatri\u00e8re Hospital. On his show, Guillaume Pley probed coroner Philippe Boxho for details on this devastating incident.<\/p>\n

Coroner Philippe Boxho Reflects on Princess Diana Rare Injury and Death<\/h2>\n

“She was stuck in the car for quite a while, her right foot lodged under a seat. She was somewhat aware and even asked, ‘What happened?’ That was almost her last word before slipping into a coma,”<\/em> Philippe Boxho explained. He then noted that Lady Diana’s chest had sustained significant damage from the crash.<\/p>\n

“There was an injury… The attending surgeon had never seen anything like it in his life\u2014it was very rare,”<\/em> <\/strong>Boxho revealed. He specified that the injury occurred on a pulmonary vein, a hard-to-reach area for surgeons. The impact of the collision tore this crucial vein. “That’s what killed her,”<\/em> reassured the doctor. Guillaume Pley then asked the burning question, “Could she have been saved?”<\/em> Boxho’s response was solemn. “It’s complicated. Thinking about it, I’ve never seen such a case, and I\u2019ve performed over 4,000 autopsies,”<\/em> he concluded.<\/p>\n
