French medics had to restrain and sedate Princess Diana, who became so agitated after her Paris car crash that she tore out a drip, the inquest into her death was told on Monday.

In evidence given to the London court probing the 1997 deaths of Diana and her lover Dodi al-Fayed, doctors also said the nature of her injuries indicated her heart had been thrown forward violently in the crash, tearing a key blood vessel.

Emergency specialist Jean-Marc Martino said that in the shattered wreck of the smoldering Mercedes limousine, Diana was "shouting and saying things in English which were comprehensible but incoherent".

The inquest is expected to last up to six months and cost up to 10 million pounds ($20.9 million).

British and French police investigations have concluded that Diana and Dodi died because their chauffeur, Henri Paul, was drunk and drove too fast through a Paris road tunnel. The car crashed into a pillar in the tunnel.

Dodi's father, Harrods owner Mohamed al-Fayed, says Diana and his son were killed by British security services acting on the orders of Prince Philip, Queen Elizabeth's husband and Diana's former father-in-law.

Under British law, an inquest is needed to determine the cause of death.
