Council Car Park Skeleton Is King Richard III [Video Inside]


Remains found beneath a council car park in Leicester have solved the 500-year-old mystery about the final resting place of King Richard III, archaeologists say.
Researchers said they had concluded "beyond reasonable doubt" that the skeleton, which showed evidence of an abnormal lateral curvature of the spine, was the monarch.
There were cheers at the University of Leicester as the announcement was made.
Bone specialist Jo Appleby said a study of the remains provided "a highly convincing case for identification of Richard III".
