British police have confirmed that a body found Friday is that of missing British Ministry of Defence official David Kelly. Kelly, 59, died from bleeding from a cut to his left wrist, police said Saturday. They said a knife and tablets, believed to be pain killers, were found with the body when it was discovered 8 kilometers (five miles) from Kelly's house in Southmoor, Oxfordshire. Asked if he had Dr Kelly's death on his conscience during a press conference in Tokyo, where he was meeting his Japanese counterpart on the first leg of a tour of the Far East, Mr Blair would only express his "deep sorrow". He also called for "respect and restraint" until the full circumstances were known.
