Chemical, biological and nuclear experts sent to UK home of dead Boris Berezovsky

Experts in chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear (CBRN) emergencies have been deployed to the British property where Russian exile Boris Berezovsky was found dead, police said Sunday.

"Specially trained officers are currently at the scene, including CBRN trained officers, who are conducting a number of searches as a precaution," a statement from Thames Valley Police said.

"This is to enable officers to carry out an investigation into the man's death. The body of the man is still in the property at this time."

They say the public is not at risk.

Superintendent Stuart Greenfield said police were taking "all necessary measures to ensure a full and thorough investigation can be carried out" into Berezovsky's death.
