...smoke," he told TIME and CNN in a joint interview. "People were speaking loudly. There was a kind of panic, like one usually finds at accident scenes." Dressed in a white T shirt and white jeans that were soon spattered with the princess' blood, Mailliez put an oxygen mask over her face while a former volunteer fireman supported Rees-Jones' bloody head in his hands. Mailliez said the paparazzi had not hindered him in his work. He left once the first emergency firefighters' unit arrived at 12:32 a.m., about seven minutes after the accident...
Once the emergency units arrived, it took them 30 to 45 minutes to extract Diana from the vehicle and stabilize her with intubation, oxygen and treatment for shock. At 1:18 a.m. she was placed in an ambulance. At the doctor's insistence, the ambulance proceeded slowly so as not to aggravate the injuries. Thus it took some 40 minutes to reach the Pitie-Salpetriere hospital instead of the usual 10 minutes. On arrival at 2:05 a.m., the princess was in cardiac arrest. Doctors opened her chest and found massive internal bleeding from the ruptured vein. Although they sutured...

He spent three days in a coma, was pronounced brain dead on Monday morning and passed away Monday evening. His death is currently being investigated as a homicide by the Boston...
...well be the development of artificial blood. The quest for a blood substitute reaches back to the 17th century, when scientists tried to transfuse animal blood and other products into humans. Several blood substitutes are undergoing clinical trials in the U.S. and Europe, and one, which seems to carry oxygen like its genuine counterpart, has been tested successfully in heart-surgery patients in Europe...
Morton may well have performed an even more remarkable service to modern medicine by establishing a link between metabolic disorders like glutaric aciduria and cerebral palsy. Most practitioners have long believed that oxygen deprivation or trauma at or before birth causes cerebral palsy, a motor disorder that reflects injury to the cerebral cortex and basal ganglia. But Dr. Karin Nelson at the National Institutes of Health, as well as colleagues at other research centers, has concluded that these causes do not explain most cases of the disease. "Holmes Morton has given us fresh insight into the source of cerebral palsy...
