The burial of Benzair Bhutto was today marred by heavy violence across Pakistan as a bitter row broke out over how she died.
As hundreds of thousands mourned the murdered opposition leader, the country's Interior Ministry claimed she had died from hitting her vehicle's sunroof when she tried to duck after a suicide attack.
However, one of Miss Bhutto's aide rejected the government's explanation of her death as a "pack of lies".
Brigadier Javed Cheema, a ministry spokesman, said Miss Bhutto had died from a head wound she sustained when she smashed against the sunroof's lever as she tried to shelter inside the car.
"The lever struck near her right ear and fractured her skull," Mr Cheema said.
But the explanation was ridiculed by Farooq Naik, Miss Bhutto's top lawyer and a senior official in her Pakistan People's Party.
"It is baseless. It is a pack of lies," he said.
"Two bullets hit her, one in the abdomen and one in the head. It was a serious security lapse........"

What would Sharif gain by killing Bhutto??He’s already called for a boycott of the polls by his party.
If you want to win real elections in that part of the world,you have to pay the price of exposing yourself to the people.Unlike Musharraf who fights elections where he is the only candidate & corners 95% of the votes.Bhutto & her supporters have gone on record to say that she had been provided inadequate security by the state & on the subcontinent,it’s the state’s job to provide the vast chunk of your security resources irrespective of your political affiliation.
That's just the story the Government wants you to believe. Look behind the facade, man!
