A senior officer said a knife and a packet of painkillers had been found close to where his body was discovered in woodland near his home in Oxfordshire on Friday.
The BBC has officially confirmed that Kelley was its government source regarding the "sexing up" of intelligence information re: Iraq, leading up to war.

BBC director of news Richard Sambrook broke the news after speaking to the family of the Iraq weapons expert who was found dead on Friday.
He said the corporation believed it correctly interpreted and reported the information obtained from Dr Kelly during interviews.
Mr Sambrook said the BBC had, until now, owed Dr Kelly a duty of confidentiality and was "profoundly sorry" that his involvement as the source for the reports had ended in tragedy.
What a mess.
Kelley's M.P. blames the BBC for causing the death. Glenda Jackson, a Labour M.P., (and former peerless actress) blames Blair.
At least there will be an independent inquiry, which was immediatley called for by Blair.
I guess 9/11 didn't rise to the same level that this tragedy did.
Steve Gilliard at Daily Kos has much, much more to say about this odd sad story.
