UK: A body believed to be that of missing children's television presenter Mark Speight has been found in a remote area of a London railway station, police said yesterday.
British transport police were called to Paddington railway station at 10am yesterday following the discovery of the body.
Police said last Tuesday that Speight (42) had been reported missing two months after his fiancee's death.
Speight, who hosted the BBC art show SMart, was questioned by police over the death of his fiancee, Natasha Collins (31), at their St John's Wood home in January.
Westminster coroner Paul Knapman recorded a verdict of death by misadventure at an inquest last week.
The court heard that Collins died in a scalding hot bath after taking cocaine and sleeping pills and drinking vodka. Speight was briefly held on suspicion of her murder before detectives "cancelled" his arrest and said he was not a suspect.
