PA: Arafat medical file won't show cause of death
By ASSOCIATED PRESS
> CAIRO, Egypt
The Palestinian Authority does not expect a clear explanation for Yasser Arafat's death to emerge from his French medical records, Palestinian Health Minister Jawad Tibi said Wednesday.
The lack of a reason for the Palestinian leader's death in a French hospital on Nov. 11 has provoked speculation in the media that he was poisoned by Israeli agents. Israel has dismissed the allegation and no evidence has been published to support it.
France has now handed over Arafat's medical records to his family, and they have been taken to the Palestinian territory.
"We don't expect to conclude a decisive result on this issue," Tibi told reporters Wednesday after he arrived at Cairo airport on his way home from Italy.
"However, this should not prevent us from carefully and patiently looking at the dossier to reach the truth," Tibi said.
He said he had begun studying the records with Palestinian doctors. Later they would be discussed with Egyptian, Jordanian and Tunisian doctors, and a medical team would take them to Paris for discussion with French doctors.
I'm going to go out on a limb and say he died when his heart stopped.
Cause of death: cessation of life functions.
Don't care why, only that the POS is dead.
Wow! Did you get your M.D. from Malibu Community College of Cosmetic Surgery and Operation Thingies, too?
The guy died of AIDS and besides who cares? He's dead and good riddance, the world is better off without him.
Never saw that acronym before.
How about this one: Adios infected ---- Sucker
Big stretch here, I say "HIS HEART STOPPED".
My Professor of Middle East history says, “It is documented, and well known in the Arab world that Arafat was homosexual. He was married for appearances only. He died of AIDS, something that the Arab world finds embarrassing.”
I'll take AIDS again for $500, Alex...
He died of AIDS... Clear, Plain, Simple.
The Palis will never admit it openly in an attempt to keep from sullying the "memory" of their great leader.
That there is going to be no cause of death mentioned proves it to be the truth.
It's gotta be - otherwise they wouldn't be going to such lengths to hide the cause of death. Arabs couldn't even tell you if it's day or night without lying.
