Maddie would have died from an overdoseCOMPANYPosted: 12/09/07 - 4:51 p.m.
The discovered in the boot of the Renault hired by the McCanns liquid, twenty-five days after the disappearance of their daughter, was analyzed: the results indicate that Maddie had swallowed a "sig

nificant" dose of sleeping pills.
The Attorney General of the Republic of Portugal assured yesterday: diaries and correspondence McCanns were attached to the investigation report, a record in ten volumes of over 1,000 pages.
Yesterday, investigators seemed convinced that the 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 prosecutor in Portimao, Jose Cunha de Magalhaes, should issue in the coming hours the British judicial authorities so that a commission be interviewed relatives of the McCann couple. Especially people who were dining with them at the time of the disappearance of their daughter while according to their claims, she was sleeping in the room they rented in the resort of Praia da Luz.
Meanwhile, several local sources said that the traces found in the rental car of Maddie's parents were in fact "bodily fluids" whose DNA would correspond to that of the girl.
These same sources also assured that toxicological tests on the famous liquids "proved that the little girl had ingested medicines, without doubt sleeping pills, in large quantities." Enough at least for "to overdose."
Earlier this afternoon, police also received a license issued by the Attorney General for him to search the church in Praia da Luz, where the McCanns had used to come pray.
A place where specially trained dogs have received a cadaver odor, the same as that detected in the couple's car ...
The police take the opportunity to ask the parish priest, Jose Manuel Paticho to know if the couple has any confessions about her daughter.
The only certainty, friends of the McCanns, interviewed by the British press, ensured that they were beginning to "crack": "There are two days Gerry was still confident and combative.
Now he is seriously discouraged and begin to doubt ... " 

Maddie serait morte d'une overdose

Le liquide découvert dans le coffre de la Renault louée par les McCann, vingt-cinq jours après la disparition de leur fille, a été analysé : les résultats indiquent que Maddie aurait avalé « une importante » dose de somnifères.
Le procureur général de la République du Portugal l'a assuré hier : les agendas et la correspondance des McCann ont été joints au rapport d'enquête, un dossier en dix volumes de plus de 1.000 pages.
Hier, les enquêteurs semblaient convaincus que des détails sur ce qui s'est réellement passé avec la petite Anglaise pourraient y être consignés.
Dans le même temps, on apprenait que le ministère public, en la personne du procureur de Portimao, José Cunha de Magalhaes, devrait délivrer dans les prochaines heures aux autorités judiciaires britanniques une commission rogatoire afin que soient interrogés des proches des époux McCann. En particulier les personnes qui dînaient avec eux au moment de la disparition de leur fille alors que, selon leurs affirmations, elle dormait dans la chambre qu'ils louaient dans le complexe hôtelier de Praia da Luz.
En attendant, plusieurs sources locales ont affirmé que les traces retrouvées dans la voiture de location des parents de Maddie étaient en fait des « liquides corporels » dont l'ADN correspondrait à celui de la fillette.
Ces mêmes sources ont également assuré que des tests toxicologiques effectués sur ces fameux liquides « prouvaient que la petite fille avait ingéré des médicaments, sans doute des somnifères, en grande quantité ».Suffisamment en tout cas pour « faire une overdose ».
En début d'après-midi, la police a par ailleurs reçu une autorisation délivrée par le procureur général lui permettant de fouiller l'église de Praia da Luz, dans laquelle les McCann avaient l'habitude de venir prier.
Un endroit où des chiens spécialement entraînés auraient perçu une odeur de cadavre, la même que celle détectée dans la voiture du couple…
La police en profitera pour interroger le prêtre de la paroisse, Jose Manuel Paticho, afin de savoir si le couple a fait d'éventuelles confessions au sujet de sa fille.
Seule certitude, des amis des McCann, interrogés par la presse anglaise, ont assuré que ces derniers commençaient à « craquer » : « Il y a deux jours, Gerry était encore sûr de lui et combatif.
A présent, il est découragé et commence sérieusement à douter… »

Maddie: Social services visit the McCannCOMPANY
Representatives of the British social services visited Thursday to Kate and Gerry McCann, the parents of little Madeleine, at their home in Rothley.
This is standard procedure in Britain. If a parent is suspected in a court case abroad, the authorities in his county of residence must take his case in the interests of child protection.
Thus, social services may choose to take their children to McCann or simply include them as "help" or "endangered" in their family.
The McCann couple had returned from Portugal after more than four months away, with their other two children Sean and Amelie, old twins two years. 

Cooperating in the interests of the family
Indicted Friday in Portugal, as part of the investigation into the disappearance of their daughter, on May 3 in Praia da Luz (south), Gery and Kate McCann had decided to return to Britain to "prepare their defense. "
Portuguese police are suspected of manslaughter and concealment of corpses.
The family apparently did not object to the visit of social services. Gerry McCann's brother, John, has assured that the couple was ready to "cooperate with all those who have at heart the interests of the family."
British police and social services had met on Monday to discuss the case of the McCann family.
According to his parents, the 3 year old girl was sleeping in the room of the hotel complex where the family was vacationing in the company of his brother and sister while the parents dined at a nearby restaurant.
A British 35-year-old Robert Murat, was also indicted in connection with this investigation, in the days that followed the disappearance of Maddie.

Madeleine McCann 'died from overdose'
Madeleine McCann 
By Gary Cleland
7:00AM BST 14 Sep 2007
Madeleine McCann died from an overdose of sleeping tablets, reports in a French newspaper claimed yesterday.
Tycoons withdraw support for McCanns
Madeleine's parents seek top PR figure
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 from tablets overdose’

Maddie overdosed?
Forensic evidence shows Madeleine McCann died of an overdose of sleeping pills, it was reported last night.
Bodily fluids found in the boot of the car the McCanns rented 25 days after Madeleine went missing showed she had been sedated, said a French newspaper which claimed to have seen the evidence.
France Soir said DNA results of the fluids showed the four-year-old had swallowed enough sleeping pills to ’cause an overdose’.
Guilhem Buttut, an investigative reporter, said he had seen ‘hard evidence’ about Madeleine’s death in a report now in the hands of Portuguese prosecutors.
He said toxicological tests carried out on the liquids ‘proved the little girl had ingested medicines, without doubt sleeping pills, in quantities large enough to cause an overdose’.
Sources linked to the investigation revealed earlier this week that police discovered an 88 per cent DNA match to Madeleine in the boot of the McCanns’ rented Renault Scenic.
Clumps of hair were also reported to have been found in the boot, allegedly showing that her body had been in it.
Scientifically, it would be possible to test such bodily fluids for drugs, including an overdose of sleeping pills.
The news came as Portuguese media reported that police want to question Kate McCann again over the disappearance of her daughter.
Police may also quiz her about her diary. It has been suggested that the diary has been seen by detectives who took photocopies, but a request is being filed for possession so it can be examined in more detail.
Portuguese newspapers said yesterday that they had seen the photocopies of extracts.
Correio da Manha claimed Mrs McCann wrote in the diary that her children are ‘hysterical’ and exhausted her.
It also claimed her husband gave her little help with family chores.
It added: ‘She complains frequently that her children are “hysterical” and speaks of Madeleine as a child whose excess activity exhausts her.
She tells also how Gerry doesn’t help her with the family chores and that she has to cope alone with her two youngest children.’
The daily Publico claimed Mrs McCann’s worries about her children’s behaviour and her difficulties disciplining them were contained in the diary.
Sources close to the McCanns said they were not aware of police plans for a second interrogation.
‘This is speculation, not fact,’ said one.

According to France Soir which claims to have seen the evidence, body fluids were found in the boot of a car hired by the McCanns.
France Soir said DNA results of the fluids revealed Madeleine had swallowed enough sleeping pills to cause an overdose.
Guilhem Buttut, an reporter for the newspaper, said he had seen "hard evidence" about Madeleine's death in a report now in the hands of Portuguese prosecutors, the metro.co.uk news website reported.
Mr Buttut said toxicological tests on the substance "proved the little girl had ingested medicines, without doubt sleeping pills, in quantities large enough to cause an overdose".
Meantime it's been reported that the McCanns are planning their own independent forensic tests on the hire car.
McCanns brace for police raid
Meanwhile British authorities are set to raid the Leicestershire home of Kate and Gerry McCann, after a Portuguese judge formally requested their help.
It's believed the warrant was passed from the Portuguese judiciary to enable British authorities to scour the McCann's four bedroom house in Rothley.
Meantime social workers have visited the McCann family at their home today, to discuss the welfare of the couple's two other children.
Kate and Gerry McCann invited the social workers into their home to hold talks about their two year old twins Sean and Amelie.
It is standard practice for a mother or father named as a suspect overseas to have their case considered by British authorities.
By law, social services can decide to take children into care or place them on the "in need" or "at risk" registers.
Speaking near the McCann house, Gerry McCann's brother John said "they will cooperate with anyone who has the family's best interests at heart".
Meanwhile, it was reported today Kate McCann's private diary documents her struggles to look after her "hysterical" children and reveals details about the day that Madeleine went missing.
The diary is among a number of personal items prosecutors want from the young girl's parents, sources close to the investigation said.
It's believed Mrs McCann frequently wrote in her journal moments after Madeleine went missing from the family's holiday apartment in the Algarve resort of Praia da Luz on May 3.
Unconfirmed reports in Portuguese media suggested that her journal portrays Mrs McCann as being worn out by Madeleine's "excess of activity".
According to the Correio da Manha, Mrs McCann also complained that her husband didn't help with family chores, meaning that the burden of looking after their twins often fell on her.
Although she does not confess to any crimes in the diary, it is considered "fundamental" to the investigation, the paper said.
Other unconfirmed reports said Portuguese police wanted to reinterview both Mrs McCann and some of the friends on holiday with the couple when Madeleine went missing.
4,000 page dossier of evidence
Earlier this week, the Policia Judiciaria formally passed a 4,000 page dossier of evidence against the McCanns to Algarve based public prosecutor Jose Cunha de Magalhaes e Meneses.
He immediately ordered the 10 lever-arch files should go before a criminal instructional judge, believed to be Pedro Daniel dos Anjos Frias.
The prosecutor has made a number of requests of the judge, among them that he approve the seizure of Mrs McCann's personal diary, sources said.
Reports have suggested the diary is already in the hands of the authorities but they need retrospective approval from the judge because of privacy laws.
Yesterday, the McCann family announced they would not use money raised for the fund to find Madeleine - which totals more than STG1 million ($A2.42 million) - to pay for their legal defence.

Madeleine overdose claim denied
Gerry McCann and his wife met lawyers in London
The father of missing four-year-old Madeleine McCann has dismissed a French press report that his daughter died from an overdose of sleeping pills.Gerry McCann said the accusation by France Soir newspaper was "ludicrous".
Mr McCann and his wife Kate were named a week ago as formal suspects in the disappearance of their daughter in May while holidaying in Portugal.
They deny any involvement in her disappearance and spent Friday with their lawyers Kingsley Napley.
According to the Sun, Mr McCann told a friend: "There are large craters in every one of these theories, in these just ludicrous accusations."
Portuguese press have also reported that detectives may not have any "concrete" evidence to charge the couple as DNA traces of Madeleine in the holiday apartment and a rental car did not prove anything conclusive.
A Portuguese prosecutor handed the police file to a judge this week. The judge has 10 days to consider the 1,000-page dossier and review the evidence.

Did Madeleine McCann Overdose???Sorry to hit you with another Madeleine story so soon, but the allegations being made are absolutely incredible. You can read the gory details athttp://www.mirror.co.uk/news/topstories/2007/09/14/madeleine-pills-overdose-sensational-claim-89520-19788978/”>www.mirror.co.uk</a&gt;
According to Guilhem Battut, an investigative journalist whose story appeared in French newspaper France Soir, body fluids found in the boot of a car rented by the McCanns prove that four-year old Madeleine had been “heavily sedated”, and France Soir claim to have hard evidence to back up the claim.
The Portugese police want Kate McCann back for further questioning – and sources are saying she may be charged with “accidental homicide”.
Now, we all know how full of shit the press can be – tabloids have been known to invent stories when reality isn’t interesting enough. So this could well be a load of old crap. But if it’s true… that would mean Kate McCann had fed sleeping pills to her four-year old daughter to keep her quiet; then, on finding the girl dead, she hid the body, concocted the “kidnapping” story – and then weeks later, she calmly went to pick up the body to dispose of it properly. If these allegations are true – and please remember, I’m saying if – it’s not me peddling this story to the press – Kate McCann is a wonderful actress (remember all the heart-rending televised pleas for help?) and a cold, calculating bitch.
France Soir claims to have evidence to back up this story. I pray to the Goddess that this isn’t true.

Madeleine 'pills overdose' sensational claim

Ryan Parry In Praia Da Luz 14/09/2007

Shock claim that she died from sleeping tablets

Madeleine McCann died of a sleeping pill overdose, it was sensationally claimed last night.

Body fluids found in the boot of a Renault Scenic rented by parents Kate and Gerry allegedly prove the four-year-old had been heavily sedated.

The claim was made by French newspaper France Soir which said it had seen "hard evidence" to back it up.

Investigative journalist Guilhem Battut said analysis of the body fluids "prove that the little girl had ingested medicines, without doubt sleeping pills, in large quantities". The quantities were sufficient to cause an "overdose".

Battut said the forensic report was already with Portuguese prosecutors who are studying a 4,000-page dossier.

The file is believed to call for Kate to be accused of "accidental homicide".

Yesterday's development came as Portuguese police revealed they want to re-interview Kate, 39, who is at home with her family in Rothley, Leics.

Body fluids discovered in the tyre well of the McCanns' Renault are an 88 per cent DNA match to Madeleine, police sources have claimed.

Scientifically, it is possible to test such fluids for traces of drugs, including an overdose of sleeping pills.

Madeleine's hair has also reportedly been found in sufficient quantities to show that the youngster's body was in the Renault boot.

It can be determined if the hairs came from someone who was alive or dead.

Madeleine vanished from her family's Algarve holiday apartment at Praia da Luz 134 days ago.

Kate and Gerry, 39 - also parents of two-year-old twins Sean and Amelie - have been named as formal suspects.

Both fiercely deny any involvement in the long-running mystery.

They believe they are being set up to cover up a bungled police inquiry.
