The driver of the car in which DIANA, PRINCESS OF WALES died may not have been drunk, according to British detectives investigating the 1997 smash.
HENRI PAUL, who was at the wheel of the Mercedes Benz when it crashed inside a Paris, France tunnel, killing him, Diana and her lover DODI FAYED, was originally said to have been heavily intoxicated at the time.
However, an interim report claims it would "not be safe" to conclude he was drunk, and states there is no conclusive evidence to suggest he was an habitual heavy drinker.
The report shatters a verdict handed down by judge HERVE STEPAN, who concluded that the princess and Fayed were killed "because the driver of the vehicle was drunk".
It comes just weeks after French forensic pathologists reportedly admitted to mistaking Fayed's body with Paul's.
The mix-up meant that blood samples, which in Paul's case proved that he was highly intoxicated with alcohol and drugs, in fact belonged to someone else.
