Princess Grace's tragic death reminds me so much of Princess Diana's: the sad futility of a beloved princess caught in a terrible car crash. Interesting that some facts of the crash still seem a bit ambiguous. Originally, there was speculation that the breaks on her car failed, and later physicians claimed that the build up of plaque around her heart may have caused stroke. Well, at least she wasn't fleeing from papparrazzi...
