It is required by law whenever anyone dies of anything other than natural causes. But Diana and Dodi weren't just anyone. "Much has been written or broadcast [about their deaths]," Baker said, "often showing a disregard for the facts." So along with answering the four key questions, he gave the jury another task: "to allay suspicion and rumor," to give the public a chance to finally find out how Diana and Dodi died and "perhaps to learn...

The broadcast industry has until 2009 to turn over the spectrum that rescuers need to beam signals through concrete and steel.
