Open connected recordThe strongest official evidence supports a fatal high-speed collision involving impaired and grossly negligent driving, compounded by the pursuit environment and failure to wear seatbelts. A planned-assassination claim requires stronger evidence than anomaly aggregation.
Media pressure, security decisions, relationships, and official institutions converged in a short final timeline. That convergence warrants reconstruction but is not proof of coordination.
Assassination, intelligence-service, vehicle-interference, medical-treatment, and pregnancy theories must be separated into testable claims and compared against the inquest record and forensic evidence.
