| | The Surrey Coroner |
 | | In the course of the morning and early afternoon of 31 August 1997, as Coroner for Surrey I was told of the repatriation of the body of Mr Dodi Fayed and of the wishes of his father, Mr Mohamed Al Fayed, for the burial of his son's body in a cemetery in Surrey before nightfall. |
| | Initially, the arrangements were made for the body to be examined in Surrey but the arrangements were re-cast after I was told that the burial was to be preceded by a religious service in London. |
| | From the general way in which I understood the death of Mr Fayed had come about, and as it was intended to bury his body in Surrey, the death did appear to me to be one where, as a coroner, I was obliged to inquire. |
