LONDON, England (CNN) -- Police have found a body matching that of UK official David Kelly, who denied being the "mole" in the Iraq weapons of mass destruction dossier row.
On Friday Prime Minister Tony Blair's officials said an independent judicial inquiry would be held into the circumstances leading up to the scientist's death, if confirmed.
Kelly, a former U.N. weapons inspector and microbiologist who had visited Iraq dozens of times under Saddam Hussein, went missing from his home on Thursday afternoon after telling his wife he was going for a walk, police said.
His family, who live in Abingdon, Oxfordshire, about 80 km (50 miles) northwest of London, alerted police when he failed to return by 11:45 p.m.
The body was discovered at Harrowdown Hill, Oxfordshire, about five miles from Kelly's home. No formal identification is expected until Saturday.
"What I can say is that the description of the man found ... matches the description of Dr. David Kelly," Acting Superintendent David Purnell of Thames Valley Police told reporters.
A Downing Street spokesman traveling with Blair in Japan said the prime minister had offered condolences to Kelly's family. The judge leading the inquiry would have access to all government papers, he added.
Kelly, 59, became involved in the storm over the intelligence on Iraq's alleged banned weapons when the government said he was the source for a report by the British Broadcasting Corporation that officials hyped, or "sexed up" data in a September 2002 dossier to justify war
