On 31 August 1997, Diana, Princess of Wales died as a result of injuries sustained in a car crash in the Pont de l'Alma road tunnel in Paris, France. Her boyfriend, Dodi Fayed, and the driver of the Mercedes-Benz W140, Henri Paul, were also pronounced dead at the scene; the bodyguard of Diana and Dodi, Trevor Rees-Jones, was the only survivor. Although the media pinned the blame on the paparazzi, the crash was found to be caused by the reckless actions of the chauffeur, who was the head of security at the Ritz and had earlier goaded the paparazzi waiting outside the hotel. An 18-month French judicial investigation found in 1999 that the crash was caused by Paul, who lost control of the car at high speed while drunk. His
inebriation may have been made worse by the presence of an anti-depressant and traces of a tranquilizing anti-psychotic in his body.The French investigation concluded that the photographers were not near the Mercedes when it crashed.Since February 1998, Dodi's father, Mohamed Al-Fayed (the owner of the Hôtel Ritz, for which Henri Paul worked) has claimed that the crash was a result of a conspiracy, and later contended that the crash was orchestrated by MI6 on the instructions of the Royal Family. His claims were dismissed by a French judicial investigation and by Operation Paget, a Metropolitan Police Service inquiry that concluded in 2006.An inquest headed by Lord Justice Scott Baker into the deaths of Diana and Dodi began at the Royal Courts of Justice, London, on 2 October 2007, a continuation of the inquest that began
in 2004.On 7 April 2008, the jury concluded that Diana and Dodi were the victims of an "unlawful killing" by the "grossly negligent" chauffeur Henri Paul and the drivers of the following vehicles.Additional factors were "the impairment of the judgment of the driver of the Mercedes through alcohol" and "the death of the deceased was caused or contributed to by the fact that the deceased was not wearing a seat-belt, the fact that the Mercedes struck the pillar in the Alma Tunnel, rather than colliding with something else".

The crash

On Saturday 30 August 1997, Diana, Princess of Wales, left Sardinia on a private jet and arrived in Paris, France, with Dodi Fayed, the son of Mohamed al-Fayed.They had stopped there en route to London, having spent the preceding nine days together on board Mohamed al-Fayed's yacht Jonikal on the French and Italian Riviera. They had intended to stay overnight.
Mohamed al-Fayed was and is the owner of the Hôtel Ritz Paris. He also owned an apartment in Rue Arsène Houssaye, a short distance from the hotel, just off the Avenue des Champs Elysées.

Henri Paul, the deputy head of security at the Ritz Hotel, had been instructed to drive the hired black 1994 Mercedes-Benz S280 in order to elude the paparazzi; a decoy vehicle left the Ritz first from the main entrance on Place Vendôme, attracting a throng of photographers. Diana and Fayed then departed from the hotel's rear entrance rue Cambon at around 12:20 am, heading for the apartment in Rue Arsène Houssaye. They were the rear passengers, Trevor Rees-Jones, a member of the Fayed family's personal protection team, was in the (right) front passenger seat.

After leaving the rue Cambon and crossing the Place de la Concorde they drove along Cours la Reine and Cours Albert 1er (the embankment road along the right bank of the River Seine) into the Place de l'Alma underpass.At around 12:23 am at the entrance to the tunnel Paul lost control; the car swerved to the left of the two-lane carriageway before colliding head-on with the 13th pillar supporting the roof at an estimated speed of 105 km/h (65 mph). It then spun and hit the stone wall of the tunnel backwards, finally coming to a stop. The impact caused substantial damage, particularly to the front half of the vehicle. There was (and still is) no guard rail between the pillars to prevent this.

After the crash

As the victims lay in the wrecked car, the photographers, who were slower, rejoined, rushed to help, tried to open the doors and help the victims, while some of them took pictures. Critically injured, Diana was reported to murmur repeatedly, "Oh my God," and after the photographers and other helpers were pushed away by police, "Leave me alone."

Fayed had been sitting in the left rear passenger seat and appeared to be dead. Fire officers were still trying to resuscitate him when he was pronounced dead by a doctor at 1:32 am; Paul was declared dead on removal from the wreckage.
Both were taken to the Institut Médico-Légal (IML), the Paris mortuary, not to a hospital. Autopsy examination concluded that Paul and Fayed had both suffered a rupture in the isthmus of the aorta and a fractured spine, with, in the case of Paul, a medullar section in the dorsal region and in the case of Fayed a medullar section in the cervical region.

Still conscious, Rees-Jones had suffered multiple serious facial injuries. The front occupants' airbags had functioned normally. None of the occupants were wearing a seat belt.

Diana, who had been sitting in the right rear passenger seat, was still conscious. It was first reported that she was crouched on the floor of the vehicle with her back to the road. It was also reported that a photographer described her as bleeding from the nose and ears with her head rested on the back of the front passenger seat; he tried to remove her from the car but her feet were stuck. Then he told her that help was on the way and to stay awake; there was no answer, just blinking.

Funeral
Diana's death was met with extraordinary public expressions of grief, and her funeral at Westminster Abbey on 6 September drew an estimated 3 million mourners and onlookers in London, and worldwide television coverage watched by 2.5 billion people.It was aired to 200 countries in 44 languages.

Members of the public were invited to sign a book of condolence at St James Palace. Throughout the night, members of the Women's Royal Voluntary Service and the Salvation Army provided support for people queuing along the Mall.More than one million bouquets were left at her London home, Kensington Palace, while at her family's estate of Althorp the public was asked to stop bringing flowers as the volume of people and flowers in the surrounding roads was said to be causing a threat to public safety.

Rajiv Gandhi Death Photos

Rajiv Gandhi Death Photos Biography

Source:- Google.com.pk

The year 1944 welcomed the birth of a little boy in the prestigious Nehru family. He was the first son of Indira Gandhi and Feroze Gandhi. He was named Rajiv.
Rajiv as a little toddler grew in a family that was considered as one of the most important in the whole country. He was always surrounded by freedom fighters, great leaders and statesmen right from his baby days.When he was two years old his father Feroze Gandhi and mother Indira shifted to Lucknow. Here his father assumed charge as Managing Director of the National Herald. Before Rajiv could settle down in the new place, there was a new addition to the family in the form of Sanjay, his younger brother.

Rajiv's childhood, though seemed exciting wasn't very fun filled. His mother Indira was always busy and very much involved in the country's politics along with his grandfather Nehru. Nehru had been thoroughly involved in the struggle for freedom influenced by the great leader Mahatma Gandhi, right from the days his daughter Indira was tiny. All this involvement from his family's end resulted in his mother being arrested and little Rajiv being left motherless many a time.
So, when Rajiv was six years old, his parents moved to New Delhi from Lucknow to aid his grandfather Nehru. His father, Feroze Gandhi, became an M.R, and earned a reputation as a fearless and hard-working Parliamentarian. Rajiv Gandhi spent his early childhood with his grand-father in the Teen Murti House. There, he briefly went to school at Welham Prep in Dehra Dun.

By and by his parents became more and more involved with the political affairs of the country. Thus when Rajiv turned 11 he was moved to the residential Doon School in Dehradun along with his brother. Doon School was a very beautiful place that was situated at the foothills of the Himalayas.

One day one of his friends asked him, "Rajiv, most of your family members are involved in the country's government. Your grandfather is the prime minister. What are you going to become?"

Rajiv answered him saying, "I have no love for politics. I would rather be a pilot but never a politician."According to his classmates, his bookshelves were lined with volumes on science and engineering, not works on philosophy, politics or history. Music also had a pride of place in his interests. He liked Western, Hindustani classical, as well as modem music.

After leaving school, Rajiv went to Trinity College, Cambridge. He soon shifted and joined the Imperial College in London where he did a course in mechanical engineering. Even though he pursued one of his favorite subjects, he did not have any unusual academic achievements or distinctions.

When he was 20, his grandfather Nehru passed away and his mother Indira Gandhi was elected to the Parliament. She was Minister of Information and Broadcasting under Lal Bahadur Shastri who became the Prime Minister after Nehru's death. But unfortunately Shastri died unexpectedly of a heart attack less than two years after he became the Prime Minister of India and his mother Indira was elected the Prime Minister when Rajiv was twenty-two.
His mother's involvement in politics did not dampen his spirit from pursuing his interests. He enrolled himself for flying lessons during his holidays in England. When he returned from England back to India, he joined the Indian Airlines training course at Hyderabad. He also passed the entrance examination to the Delhi Flying Club, and went on to obtain a commercial pilot's license. Meanwhile his brother, Sanjay, was already thick in politics and was a great help to his mother Indira in ruling the country.

While Rajiv was at Cambridge, he met Sonia Maino, an Italian who was studying English. Sonia was two years younger than Rajiv and they fell in love with each other. They were married in New Delhi in 1968 when Rajiv was 24 years old. They stayed in Indira Gandhi's residence in New Delhi and led a happy married life. One year later, they were blessed with a baby boy who was named Rahul and a little girl named Priyanka followed Rahul after two years.

Rajiv became a pilot with Indian Airlines, the domestic national carrier. His family life was very private despite the surrounding din and bustle of political activity. He loved flying and was leading a happy family life as a professional commercial pilot.

But in June 1980 his bliss was rudely disrupted one day when the family received a big jolt on account of the sudden death of Sanjay Gandhi. He had died unexpectedly in an air crash near Safdaijang Airport, Delhi.

Sanjay's untimely death put pressure on Rajiv to enter politics and help his mother who was then besieged by many internal and external challenges. He resisted these pressures at first, as he had no interest in politics. But later he bowed to the logic of the situation and decided to enter politics much against his desire.

When asked about what he felt on coming into a field he did not like, Rajiv replied despondently ".... I have no love for politics. I treasured the privacy of my happy family life. My mother respected both these sentiments. Then my brother Sanjay was killed in the prime of his life. It broke a mother's heart. Without even a day's break of grief, she carried on her task single-minded in fulfilling her pledge to her people. There is a loneliness that only a bereaved mother can know.
She called to me in her loneliness. I went to her side. At her instance I left my love for flying and joined her as a political aide. From her I learnt my first political lessons. In accepting the challenge, I fulfilled a national duty and a filial responsibility; the duty of a son to a mother."

Thus, he plunged into politics and started to make a mark for himself. He contested the Lok Sabha election from Amethi constituency and he won by a thumping majority. He was sworn in as Member of Lok Sabha and a couple of years later he was appointed General Secretary of the All India Congress Committee. Four States were put under his charge, Arunachal Pradesh, Bihar, Himachal Pradesh and Nagaland. He was also given the charge of managing the affairs of the Congress Sewa Dal and the Youth Congress.
Later it was told of him "No one could have ascended to power - becoming both Prime Minister and Congress President - in more tragic and tormenting circumstances than Rajiv did in the wake of his mother's brutal assassination on 31 October, 1984. But he bore the awesome burden of personal grief and national responsibility with remarkable poise, dignity and restraint."

Thus Rajiv was sworn in as prime minister at the age of forty. He brought into politics energy, enthusiasm, and vision-qualities badly needed to lead the divided country. Moreover, his looks, personal charm, and reputation as "Mr. Clean" were assets that won him many friends in India and abroad, especially in the United States.

Rajiv Gandhi seemed to have understood the magnitude of the most critical and urgent problems that faced the nation when he assumed office. In his capacity as the Prime Minister, he signed the Punjab, Assam and Mizoram accords. For the settlement of the Tamil ethnic crisis, he signed Indo-Sri Lanka According July 1987.
He wanted to see India as a great power by the beginning of the 21st century. Rajiv's charismatic personality, won the hearts of his countrymen. His smiling face and his pattern of behavior and his manners were so attractive and appealing that he would turn his foes into friends. He was the country's prime minister for five years from 1984-1989.

Though he lost power in December 1989 when Shri V.R Singh became the Prime Minister, he was on the crest of his popularity and seen as if he was destined to be the future Prime Minister of India again after the May, 1991 general elections.

But, alas tragedy struck while he was on a tour doing his election campaigning in Sriperambudur near Chennai. He was assassinated in a suicide bombing attack by Sri Lankan Terrorists who claimed to have taken revenge on him for his intervention in the Sri Lankan civil war. Sadly even his body could not be pieced together.

Today this great head still lives in the hearts of many Indians as a diligent man who with his flair for quiet efficiency and smooth coordination turned out to be one of India's best leaders.

Death Scene Photos Definition

Death is the cessation of all biological functions that sustain a living organism. Phenomena which commonly bring about deathinclude biological aging (senescence), predation, malnutrition, disease, suicide, murder and accidents or trauma resulting in terminal injury.Bodies of living organisms begin to decompose shortly after death. There is no scientific evidence that suggests consciousness survives the death of an organism.

In human societies, the nature of death and humanity's awareness of its own mortality has for millennia been a concern of the world's religious traditions and of philosophical inquiry. This includes belief in resurrection (associated with Abrahamic religions), reincarnation or rebirth (associated with Dharmic religions), or that consciousness permanently ceases to exist, known as oblivion (often associated with atheism).

Commemoration ceremonies after death may include various mourning or funeral practices. The physical remains of a person, commonly known as a corpse or body, are usually interred whole or cremated, though among the world's cultures there are a variety of other methods of mortuary disposal. In the English language, blessings directed towards a dead person include rest in peace, or its initialism RIP.

The most common cause of human deaths in the world is heart disease, followed by stroke and other cerebrovascular diseases, and in the third place lower respiratory infections.

Etymology

The word death comes from Old English, which in turn comes from Proto-Germanic *dauþaz (reconstructed by etymological analysis). This comes from the Proto-Indo-European stem *dheu- meaning the "Process, act, condition of dying".

Associated terms

The concept and symptoms of death, and varying degrees of delicacy used in discussion in public forums, have generated numerous scientific, legal, and socially acceptable terms or euphemisms for death. When a person has died, it is also said they have passed away, passed on, or expired, among numerous other socially accepted, religiously specific, slang, and irreverent terms. Bereft of life, the dead person is then a corpse, cadaver, a body, a set of remains, and finally a skeleton. The terms carrion and carcass can also be used, though these more often connote the remains of non-human animals.
As a polite reference to a dead person, it has become common practice to use the participle form of "decease", as in the deceased; the noun form is decedent. The ashes left after a cremation are sometimes referred to by the neologism cremains, a blend of "cremation" and "remains".

Diagnosis
The concept of death is a key to human understanding of the phenomenon. There are many scientific approaches to the concept. For example, brain death, as practiced in medical science, defines death as a point in time at which brain activity ceases.

One of the challenges in defining death is in distinguishing it from life. As a point in time, death would seem to refer to the moment at which life ends. However, determining when death has occurred requires drawing precise conceptual boundaries between life and death. This is problematic because there is little consensus over how to define life. This general problem applies to the particular challenge of defining death in the context of medicine.

It is possible to define life in terms of consciousness. When consciousness ceases, a living organism can be said to have died. One of the notable flaws in this approach, however, is that there are many organisms which are alive but probably not conscious (for example, single-celled organisms). Another problem is in defining consciousness, which has many different definitions given by modern scientists, psychologists and philosophers. Additionally, many religious traditions, including Abrahamic and Dharmic traditions, hold that death does not (or may not) entail the end of consciousness. In certain cultures, death is more of a process than a single event. It implies a slow shift from one spiritual state to another.

Other definitions for death focus on the character of cessation of something. In this context "death" describes merely the state where something has ceased, for example, life. Thus, the definition of "life" simultaneously defines death.

Source:- Google.com.pk

David Carradine (born John Arthur Carradine; December 8, 1936 – June 3, 2009)was an American actor and martial artist, best known for his leading role as a warrior monk, Kwai Chang Caine, in the 1970s television series Kung Fu. He was a member of a productive acting family that began with his father, John Carradine. His acting career, which included major and minor roles on stage, television and cinema, spanned over four decades. A prolific "B" movie actor, he appeared in more than 100 feature films and was nominated four times for a Golden Globe Award. The last nomination was for his title role in Quentin Tarantino's Kill Bill.

Films that featured Carradine continued to be released after his death. These posthumous credits were from a variety of genres including horror, action, western, martial arts, drama, science fiction and documentary. In addition to his acting career, Carradine was also a musician and pursued a directing career. Influenced by his most popular acting role, he studied martial arts. The son of a frequently married actor, he had an unstable childhood. This instability would continue throughout his life as he himself was married five times. He was also frequently arrested and prosecuted for a variety of offenses which often involved substance abuse. He died on June 3, 2009, from asphyxiation.

Early life

He was born John Arthur Carradine in Hollywood, California, oldest child of actor John Carradine and his wife Ardanelle McCool.He was a half-brother of Bruce, Keith, Christopher, and Robert Carradine, and an uncle of Ever Carradine and Martha Plimpton. He was a great-grandson of Methodist evangelical author Beverly Carradine and a grandnephew of artist Will Foster.

Called Jack by his family, Carradine's childhood was turbulent. His parents divorced and repeatedly re-married. He was born to his mother's second marriage of three, and his father's first of four. At the time of their marriage, his mother already had a son by her first husband, whom John adopted. John Carradine planned a large family, but after his wife had a series of miscarriages, he discovered she had had numerous illegal abortions without his knowledge. This rendered her unable to carry a baby to full term. Against this backdrop of marital discord, Jack almost succeeded in committing suicide by hanging at the age of 5. He said that the incident followed his discovery that he and his older half-brother Bruce, who had been
adopted by John, had different biological fathers. He added that, "My father saved me, and then confiscated my comic book collection and burned it – which was scarcely the point".

Early successes

Upon leaving the Army, Carradine became serious about his acting pursuits. It was at that time that he was advised to change his name to avoid confusion with his famous father. In 1963, he made his television debut on an episode of Armstrong Circle Theatre. Several other television roles were to follow including appearances on Bob Hope Presents the Chrysler Theatre, and The Alfred Hitchcock Hour. He made his feature film debut in 1964 in Taggart, a western based on a novel by Louis L'Amour.

His first "big break", however, came with his second Broadway part in The Royal Hunt of the Sun, a play by Peter Shaffer about the destruction of the Inca empire by conquistador Francisco Pizarro. He said of this performance, "Many of the important roles that I got later on were because the guy who was going to hire me was in that audience and had his mind blown." For that part, Carradine won a Theatre World Award for Best Debut Performance in 1965.

Movie career

Immediately following the Kung Fu series, Carradine accepted the role as the race car driver Frankenstein in Death Race 2000 (1975), he said, to "kill the image of Caine and launch a movie career". The Roger Corman exploitation film became a cult classic. It was based on Ib Melchior's first science fiction work, a short story called The Racer.

Television appearances

Carradine attracted notice in 1985 when he appeared in a major supporting role in North and South, a miniseries about the American Civil War, as the evil and abusive Justin LaMotte. He was nominated for a Golden Globe for Best Supporting Actor for his performance. He also appeared in North and South, Book II, telecast in May 1986.

Directing career

Carradine made his directorial debut on three episodes of Kung Fu. While still performing on Kung Fu, he tried his hand at directing some independent films of his own. Americana (1983), took ten years to complete due to difficulty in financing. It featured Carradine in the starring role and several of his friends and family members in supporting roles. The film won the People's Choice Award at the Director's Fortnight at Cannes, but failed to achieve critical support or adequate distribution.

Death
On June 4, 2009, David Carradine was found dead in his room at the Swissôtel Nai Lert Park Hotel on Wireless Road, near Sukhumvit Road, in central Bangkok, Thailand. He was in Bangkok to shoot his latest film, entitled Stretch. A police official said that Carradine was found hanging by a rope naked in the room's closet,causing immediate speculation that his death was suicide. However, reported evidence suggested that his death was the result of autoerotic asphyxiation. Two autopsies were conducted and concluded that the death was not a suicide.The cause of death became widely accepted as "accidental asphyxiation".

Bruce Lee Death Photos Biography

Bruce Lee was born on November 27, 1940, in San Francisco, California. He was a child actor in Hong Kong who later returned to the U.S. and taught martial arts. He starred in the TV series The Green Hornet (1966-67) and became a major box office draw in The Chinese Connection and Fists of Fury. Shortly before the release of his film Enter the Dragon, he died at the age of 32 on July 20, 1973.

Background and Early Career

Iconic actor, director and martial-arts expert Bruce Lee was born Lee Jun Fan on November 27, 1940, in San Francisco, California, in both the hour and year of the Dragon. His father Lee Hoi Chuen, a Hong Kong opera singer, moved with his wife, Grace Ho, and three children to the United States in 1939; Hoi Chuen's fourth child, a son, was born while he was on tour in San Francisco.
Lee received the name "Bruce" from a nurse at his birthing hospital, and his family never used the name during his pre-school years. The future star appeared in his first film at the age of 3 months, when he served as the stand-in for an American baby in Golden Gate Girl (1941).

Devoted Teacher

Lee finished high school in Edison, Washington, and subsequently enrolled as a philosophy major at the University of Washington. He also got a job teaching the Wing Chun style of martial arts that he had learned in Hong Kong to his fellow students and others. Through his teaching, Lee met Linda Emery, whom he married in 1964. By that time, Lee had opened his own martial-arts school in Seattle.

He and Linda soon moved to California, where Lee opened two more schools in Oakland and Los Angeles. He taught mostly a style he called Jeet Kune Do, or "The Way of the Intercepting Fist." Lee was said to have deeply loved being an instructor and treated his students like clan, ultimately choosing the world of cinema as a career so as not to unduly commercialize teaching.

Action Hero

Lee gained a measure of celebrity with his role in the television series The Green Hornet, which aired in 26 episodes from 1966 to '67. In the show, which was based on a 1930s radio program, the wiry Lee displayed his acrobatic and theatrical fighting style as the Hornet's sidekick, Kato.He went on to make guest appearances in such TV shows as Ironside and Longstreet, while a notable film role came in 1969's Marlowe, starring James Garner as the notable detective created by Raymond Chandler. (The screenwriter for the film, Stirling Silliphant, was one of Lee's martial arts students. Other Lee students included James Coburn,Steve McQueen and Garner himself.)

Breaking Box Office Records

Lee signed a two-film contract, eventually bringing his family over to Hong Kong as well. Fists of Fury was released in late1971, featuring Lee as a vengeful fighter chasing the villains who had killed his kung-fu master. Combining his smooth Jeet Kune Do athleticism with the high-energy theatrics of his performance in The Green Hornet, Lee was the charismatic center of the film, which set new box office records in Hong Kong.

Those records were broken by Lee's next film, The Chinese Connection (1972), which, like Fists of Fury, received poor reviews from critics when they were released in the U.S.

Mysterious Death

On July 20, 1973, just one month before the premiere of Enter the Dragon, Bruce Lee died in Hong Kong, China, at the age of 32. The official cause of his sudden and utterly unexpected death was a brain edema, found in an autopsy to have been caused by a strange reaction to a prescription painkiller he was reportedly taking for a back injury. Controversy surrounded Lee's death from the beginning, as some claimed he had been murdered. There was also the belief that he might have been cursed, a conclusion driven by Lee's obsession with his own early death.(More rumors of the so-called curse circulated in 1993, when Brandon Lee was killed under mysterious circumstances during the filming of The Crow. The 28-year-old actor was fatally shot with a gun that supposedly contained blanks but somehow had a live round lodged deep within its barrel.)

Legacy

With the posthumous release of Enter the Dragon, Lee's status as a film icon was confirmed. The film, said to have a budget of $1 million, went on to gross more than $200 million.
