Royal coroner quits Diana inquest

[DoYouEverWonder]

21 July 2006

The coroner due to hear inquests into the deaths of Diana, Princess of Wales and Dodi Al Fayed has announced he is withdrawing from the cases.

Michael Burgess, coroner of the Queen's Household, asked for the inquests to be handled by a "senior judicial figure".

Mr Burgess blamed a "heavy and constant" workload for his decision.

He said he wanted to pass on the responsibility in advance of an official report into the 1997 Paris crash being released.

Buckingham Palace said that the Queen had been informed of the development.

It is not yet known whether Mr Burgess' decision will delay the inquests.

Oh my, he just too busy to do it all. What do people expect? Nice of the guy to cut and run right before the report is suppose to come out.

2. When are they going to decide the poor woman died in a car accident

and just frigging leave it at that. The driver of the car was drunk and they were speeding. The end.
