Here’s where it gets fun: conspiracy theories. Some claim the autopsy was rigged. Dodi’s dad, Mohamed Al-Fayed, insisted the crash was a murder plot by British intelligence. But the French autopsy said plain old trauma.
Quirky fact: The autopsy found no drugs in Dodi’s system—just a bit of alcohol. He was a lightweight. Meanwhile, the driver had a blood alcohol level three times the French limit.
And get this: Dodi’s body was not embalmed until days later. Why? Because the French legal system forbids it during a criminal investigation. So his family had a closed casket funeral. Weird, right?
The Weirdest Autopsy Detail
Here’s a head-scratcher: Dodi’s left foot was severed in the crash. The autopsy report dryly notes it was “recovered separately.” Ouch. But the fun part? The coroner said his injuries were inconsistent with a normal car crash—some thought he might have been leaning forward when the impact hit.

Another quirk: The crash happened exactly where the princess’s car had had a previous accident. Yes, same tunnel, different car. That’s a coincidence that would make a ghost hunter scream.
