He added, “I tried to calm her down and tell her we’d look after her, and then she fell into a coma again.”
Gourmelon said that when they were responding to the crash, they didn’t initially know who was in the car, and he didn’t recognize that it was Princess Diana speaking to him.
He described her as ‘agitated’ at first before she lost consciousness again.
At that point, she was still trapped in the wreckage of the car, and when they removed her from the vehicle, she went into cardiac arrest.
He said, “At that moment, the doctor said she was in cardiac arrest. We performed CPR, and after 20 seconds, she regained consciousness. We then transferred her to the ambulance.”
