00:00 When Princess Diana passed away in 1997 at 36 in a horrible car crash along with his
00:06 newest couple after an official divorce, the news shocked the world.
00:11 There was much speculation on whether the royal family had any part in the accident,
00:16 her cause of death, and other similar questions.
00:19 Dr. Richard Shepard was the pathologist in charge of examining her body to determine
00:24 the cause of death.
00:26 He had to examine the body on two occasions where he confirmed the cause of death to be
00:31 the impact caused by the accident, which could have been avoided with the use of a seatbelt.
00:37 But the examiner also revealed that many people have asked him odd questions regarding Diana's
00:42 body.
00:43 He told Daily Mail, "People asked, 'Was she beautiful?
00:49 Was she peaceful?
00:51 Was she pregnant?'
00:54 I always made sure I never said anything, in all the cases of public interest I was
00:58 involved with that hadn't already appeared in the press."
01:02 Pathologically there was no evidence that Princess Diana was pregnant, but some women
01:07 say they know they're pregnant from the moment of conception.
01:11 Was she one of those?
01:12 "I don't know."
