Princess Diana died of a cardiac herniation through a right pericardial   
tear.  When her position was changed from setting to supine, the   heart further 
was torqued and strangulated, preventing any  inflow.,    She responded to 
positional changes and fluid  challenges initially.  She had at least two loss of 
pulse and cardiac  cessation prior to arrival at the hospital, both of which 
were 10 minutes in  length.    I can find no one world wide who has had 
cardiac  cessation following blunt trauma and CPR for 10 minutes  who has survived  
long term.    She had two episodes of CPR for more than 10  minutes.    AND 
she had return of cardiac activity both  times.  This is NOT the kind of 
response one sees with "massive  internal hemorrhage," or "pericardial tamponade."
