Lady Diana: her last words told by a French firefighter
On the eve of what should have been Lady Di's sixtieth birthday, Xavier Gourmelon, firefighter from Paris, confided in the columns of the "Daily Mail" on the last words of the princess.
On July 1, she should have been sixty years old. But Lady Di's life was cut short almost twenty-four years ago, under the Alma Bridge, in a black Mercedes, after trying to escape a horde of paparazzi. It was August 31, 1997, and she was accompanied by Dodi Al-Fayed, her companion at the time. But unlike him, the Princess of Hearts was not killed instantly.
The hours leading up to her death are indeed a frantic struggle to try to save her. In vain. As the anniversary of her disappearance approached, the "Daily Mail" wanted to sift through that night, which was the subject of so many speculations and smoky theories. And among the testimonies collected, that of Xavier Gourmelon, firefighter sergeant from Paris, is particularly disturbing.
"OH MY GOD WHAT HAPPENED? "
Having arrived twelve minutes after the accident, he rushes towards the passenger who "is moving and still talking". Enough time to hear Diana Spencer's last words. “She spoke in English and said, 'Oh my God, what’s happened?” (Oh my god what happened) "said the firefighter trying to calm her down. “I held his hand. Then others took over. It all happens in a matter of two or three minutes, ”he says. Those in attendance agreed that Lady Di "looked like she was fine." She was not bleeding and quickly regained normal breathing, according to the "Daily Mail". "But we must not trust what we see," said Xavier Gourmelon. Sure enough, William and Harry's mother's heart stopped beating a few hours later, straining the hearts of the whole world.
