People aren't believing it because it's official and they are gullible - they believe it because they have followed through a chain of events, read about the investigations into them, and agreed with the official verdict.

Occam's Razor - usually the simplest explanation is also the most likely.

I'm not just on about Diana's death but the whole 'conspiracy' thing in general. Those that do not believe in any kind of conspiracy at all and just follow the official line.
