Parking Lot Skeleton Confirmed to Be Remains of Richard III

Parking Lot Skeleton Confirmed to Be Remains of Richard III

Scientists have confirmed that a skeleton found under a parking lot in Leicester, England, is almost certainly the remains of King Richard III. The bones were discovered in 2012, and preliminary analysis the following year suggested the body of the 15th-century monarch might have been discovered, but the paper, published today in Nature Communications, is the first published confirmation of the theory.
