DNA tests have confirmed that human remains found buried beneath an English car park are those of the country's King Richard III.
British scientists announced Monday they are convinced "beyond reasonable doubt" that a skeleton found during an archaeological dig in Leicester, central England, last August is that of the former king, who was killed at the Battle of Bosworth Field in 1485.

Look at that jaw on Richard III: he would have had the accent of a Gloria Upson.
@jif ur a phd I didn't know it
I read the same article in the science section of Fox News 6 months ago. Not only is this not breaking news which is supposed to be what this blog is about but the core definition of faux is plagerism. Good job CNN!!!!
Please look up what plagiarism actually means.
The just confirmed the DNA recently and only just found him in August; reporting on the same story isn't plagiarism.
Reporting on the same story isn't plagerism. They only just confirmed the dna, making it impossible for Fox to have reported on it 6 months ago...when they found him.
The confirmation of the dna is what makes it "this just in".
Yea sure. Its him. Lol
@jif so the junk yard was a cemetery !
How did he parish
He died battling Henry VII is the Battle of Bosworth; Henry VII being Henry Tudor, father of Henry VIII.
WHY arent you reading faux then? Cant resist spreading that obxoxious atti tude around can you?
Richard III's remains will be reburied in Leicester Cathedral, close to the site of his original grave, in a memorial service expected to be held early next year, once analysis of the bones is completed.
Dose this mean he will have two grave sites?
