A team of French scientists probing the death of Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat in 2004 says it is most likely that he died of natural causes, according to leaks to French media.
They have reportedly concluded he died after a 'generalised infection'.
A previous report by Swiss scientists said tests on his body showed 'unexpected high activity' of polonium.
This 'moderately' supported the theory, long believed by many Palestinians, that he was poisoned, the report said.
Mr Arafat's official medical records say he died in 2004 from a stroke resulting from a blood disorder. French doctors were not able at the time to determine what had caused the disorder.
His body was exhumed for testing last year amid continuing claims he was murdered. Many Palestinians have accused Israel of being behind his death, something which Israel has always denied.
