I couldn't care less, to be quite honest with you. Mind you, I never liked her much when she was alive and thought her death was symptomatic of a country that has lost its head.

We've had this twaddle in Britain for nearly ten years. A right-wing populist newspaper in Britain even has the nickname 'Daily Diana' because every Monday without fail they print a nonsense story about her death and how it's a cover-up. Never mind that these have been proven to be complete rubbish.

Princess Diana is dead. Leave her in peace.

It must've been blood kept for DNA testing that showed he was pickled, but it needed an alcohol test...

I meant they used blood stored for DNA testing to check whether he was pickled enough (via a standard toxicology test), or perhaps they could show his blood alcohol by how much it degraded DNA.
