Madeleine McCann died from an overdose of sleeping tablets, reports in a French newspaper claimed yesterday.

In full: The Madeleine McCann case
Guilhem Battut, an investigative reporter for the French tabloid France Soir, said Portuguese police had given prosecutors a file detailing how they thought Madeleine had died.



Battut - an experienced journalist who has worked on a number of major inquiries - claims police believe that evidence found in the McCanns' hire car will "prove that the little girl had ingested medicines, without doubt sleeping pills, in large quantities".

A source at the newspaper claimed: "We are not simply repeating rumours carried in other papers. This is not a theory, but a fact contained in hard evidence in the hands of the Portuguese authorities.

"It is all very well putting theories and opinions forward, but in the end this case will be decided on evidence. As journalists, we have been trying to establish what evidence is available."

DNA evidence which has reportedly been found in the hire car includes hair, blood and bodily fluids which match Madeleine's.

Police are said to want to examine the vehicle again. It is currently being kept in a safe place by the family who are considering having their own tests carried out on it as they strive to prove their innocence.

Portuguese police are said to be drawing up a list of 40 new questions that they want to put to Mrs McCann. But British forensic experts expressed doubts over the claim.

Alan Baker, of the independent forensic science organisation Bericon, said: "These samples are likely to be far from ideal. If it is just a smear or dried deposit you could detect the drug but not how much."

Last night friends of the family dismissed the latest speculation. Gerry McCann reportedly told a friend: "There are large craters in every one of these theories, in these ludicrous accusations.'

"As far as Kate and I are concerned there is no evidence to suggest that Madeleine is dead. We are 100 per cent together on this, not one grain of suspicion about each other."

A close friend of Mrs McCann's said: "She is a gentle mother who loves her children very much.''

Maddie died of a drug overdose

Company


Fluid found in the trunk of the Renault hired by the McCann 25 days after their daughter's disappearance, was evaluated: the results indicate that Maddie would have swallowed "a significant" dose of sleeping pills.




The Attorney general of the Republic of the Portugal assured him yesterday: the diaries and correspondence of the McCann have been attached to the investigation report, a folder in ten volumes of more than 1,000 pages.

Yesterday, investigators seemed convinced that details of what really happened with the little English could be recorded.

At the same time, we learned that the Crown, in the person of the Attorney of Portimão, José Cunha de Magalhães, should issue in the next hours the British judicial authorities a rogatory commission so be interviewed relatives of spouses McCann. Particularly those who dined with them at the time of the disappearance of their daughter while their claims, she slept in the House they rented in the resort of Praia da Luz.




In the meantime, several local sources claimed that the traces found in the car rental of the parents of Maddie were in fact "body fluids" whose DNA would correspond to that of the girl.

These same sources have also ensured that toxicological tests conducted on these famous liquids "proved that the little girl had ingested drugs, no doubt sleeping pills, in large quantities". Enough in any case "to a drug overdose.

In early afternoon, the police also received authorization by the Attorney general to search the Church in Praia da Luz, in which the McCann had used to come to pray.

A place where specially trained dogs would have received a dead body smell, similar to that detected in the car of the couple...

The police will take the opportunity to poll the parish priest, Jose Manuel Paticho, if the couple has made possible for confessions about her daughter.

One certainty, friends of the McCann, interviewed by the English press, ensured that they were starting to 'crack': 'two days ago, Gerry was still confident and combative.

At present, it is discouraged and starts seriously to doubt... »

Yet SY seem to be focusing on nothing other than abduction

When the Detective in charge Duncanmac openly tells us he is keeping the McCanns informed ......that says it all. What will this extra £1 million or so turn up ? Pedophiles ? Thieves who stole Madeleine and sold her to order for a Wealthy Couple living in Tibet who wanted a pretty 3 yr old ?

They all seem to be avoiding Rachael Oldfield's statement regarding there were 4 other doctors in the group and they would all know about child resuscitation. Why on earth would she have made that 'Freudian Slip' in her statement unless there had been some need for medical intervention which they as a group were covering up?

There was a rumour that O'Brien had been called to 5a to perform a tracheotomy on Madeleine, sounds feasible if you take into account the sheet drying over the balcony that he said he had washed because his daughter was sick. also , Kate supposedly cleaned the Apartment.

And THIS
Rachel Oldfield:

1578 “Okay. Did you want to mention something about Doctors in the group”?

Reply “Yeah I was just going to say that, you know Kate and Gerry are both Doctors and you know there were three other medics in the group, erm four others actually sorry, four others, erm you know so if by any chance they’d accidentally done anything to Madeleine or she was ill or erm you know something wasn’t quite right, I mean they wouldn’t have just left her and sort of tried to cover it up as an accident or you know, they would of sort of you know, come and got Matt and Russell and Dave and Fi, erm I mean you know, not just because they are Doctors, because you know they’re parents and you’d kind of go to anyone to see who could help but if you’ve got, you know Doctors as friends who were there as well, erm you know there were kind of six people there who if Madeleine had accidentally been bumped on the head or you know whatever the theories are supposed to be, erm you know, there were plenty of people there who could of you know, tried to revive a child, erm”.

"erm you know so if by any chance they’d accidentally done anything to Madeleine"

BY ACCIDENT!
Who are the THEY, that RO mentions, that by chance may have done anything to Madeleine accidentally?

"if Madeleine had accidentally been bumped on the head.."

BEEN bumped on the head.?

Been bumped on the head says that someone had indeed diliberately bumped her on the head.IMO.

If it were an accident she would have said "If Madeleine had accidentally bumped her head"
