If one were to believe the laboratory results of Henri Paul’s blood sample, then Henri Paul would, at best, have been incapacitated with a very severe pulsating migraine-like headache, and at worst cases, I would have been in a coma! Either way, according to the blood sample results released by authorities, Henri Paul would never have been able to drive that night on August 31, 1997, let alone swerve and hit a pillar after driving undeniably! pretty handy!

Importance of Henri Paul’s laboratory result

According to the official report, Henri Paul’s blood alcohol concentration (BAC) at the time of his death was a staggering 0.30%, almost 4 times the legal limit! (As far as the state of California is concerned, a BAC of 0.08% makes you legally unfit to drive.) Such a blood alcohol level means that Henri Paul would have been on the verge of unconsciousness in any case, he certainly would not have been able to steer a vehicle anyway.

If one were to translate Henri Paul’s supposed blood alcohol levels into the number of drinks he would have had to drink to reach those levels, this is what it would look like:

1) 12 drinks in 1 hour (if your stomach was empty)

2) 24 drinks in 1 hour (if you had eaten)

That number of drinks amply illustrates that Henri Paul would not have been able to speak coherently, walk, let alone drive! If the blood sample credited to Henri Paul was actually his… HENRI PAUL WOULD HAVE BEEN BUTTING, RAVING, ROLLING DRUNK!

How did the toxic levels of carbon monoxide appear in your blood sample?

Before tackling the intriguing puzzle of how toxic levels of carbon monoxide got into Henri Paul’s blood, it’s interesting to note that carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning just happens to be the most common type of fatal poisoning in France. (The importance of this will become apparent later.)

Carbon monoxide levels found in Henri Paul’s alleged blood sample exceeded 2,000 PPM (parts per million) or 0.20%. At such blood levels, Henri Paul would have experienced an excruciating, blinding headache, dizziness, nausea, and would have died within 1.5 hours of initial introduction.

You are surely pushing the boundaries of the belief (suspended or not) that a human being could function normally (or what seemed normal to everyone) with such a lethal dose of carbon monoxide in their bloodstream!

Was carbon monoxide from the accident vehicle introduced?

Some devoted proponents of the accident scene may well postulate that carbon monoxide entered Henri Paul as a result of the Mercedes engine idling within the confines of the Point d’Alma tunnel. Well, if that were the case, then Dodi Fayed and Princess Diana would have exhibited similarly toxic levels of carbon monoxide.

But guess what… surprise… surprise, they didn’t. In any case, the tunnel was too large and well ventilated for someone to accumulate such a lethal dose of CO (carbon monoxide) even if they had been there for hours with the engine running.

Furthermore, even if CO poisoning from the idling engine exhaust from the wrecked Mercedes angle were to be sought, such a scenario would be impossible for the simple fact that Henri Paul died on impact! I guess a broken neck will do that!

So now the question remains, and it really is THE ONLY QUESTION, how could that carbon monoxide have gotten into Henri Paul’s supposed posthumous blood sample? Quite often, the solution to a puzzle is the simplest and most obvious, and in this case it boils down to the inescapable fact that:

The blood sample cited by the official report was not from Henri Paul!

The most obvious step to prove beyond a doubt whether or not the blood sample belonged to Henri Paul would have been to perform a DNA test; but of course this was never done, and unsurprisingly there are no remains of the blood samples in question. So legally there is absolutely no basis on which those samples can be attributed to Henri Paul!

The autopsy performed on Henri Paul was performed by Professor Dominique Lecompte in front of a Major Mulas and the following is what is known:

1) Supposedly 5 samples were taken from the body of Henri Paul.

2) Commander Mulas claimed that they were manipulated and processed in the same way.

3) Two of those blood samples were sent to different laboratories for analysis; the other 3 samples remained in the laboratory where Professor Dominique Lecompte performed the autopsy.

4) Of those two samples submitted, both reportedly revealed massive levels of alcohol, as well as toxic levels of carbon monoxide. Contrary to normal procedure, the unused portions of these samples were conveniently never preserved (guarantees no annoying confirmatory DNA test at a later date)!

5) Later, in a Paris court, Professor Dominique Lecompte revealed under oath that she only took three blood samples from Henri Paul’s body under the supervision of Commander Mule (to date, no one can adequately explain where the other 2 samples came from ).

6) The unused portions of the 3 samples Professor Lecompte admits to taking should remain, but once again, guess what…NO SAMPLES LEFT!

7) 4 days after his death, another blood sample was taken from Henri Paul in the presence of Judge Herve Stephan (French judge in charge of the French investigation). This sample was sent to the same lab as the other 2 mystery samples; This sample, like the others, was handled by a certain Dr. Pepin. This sample was extracted from a different area of ​​the body using a different extraction medium. When the results came back, they were surprisingly almost identical to the other two suspect samples handled by Dr. Pepin’s lab.

According to several top international experts, such similar results under such different circumstances were highly suspicious, to say the least. EVEN MORE INCREDIBLE WAS HOW THE UNUSED PORTION OF THAT NEW BLOOD SAMPLE ALSO MYSTERIOUSLY DISAPPEARED!

8) The only sample that was tested for Henri Paul’s DNA and confirmed that said DNA came from one of the three original samples drawn by Prof. The Count. However, no one bothered to clarify this little fact because it was more convenient to let the world think that the fake samples were in fact the ones that belonged to Henri Paul!

9) Although it was claimed that all blood samples were handled, processed and stored in the same way, this was not true at all. In fact, one of the containers purported to contain a blood sample from Henri Paul exhibited evidence that another name had been hastily erased and replaced with Henri Paul’s.
