Police have concluded that the radioactive polonium-210 that poisoned a former Russian spy was added to his tea at a London hotel, British and American television stations reported.

Investigators have identified the teapot believed to have contained the radioactive tea, which eventually killed Alexander Litvinenko in November, Sky News said, citing unnamed Scotland Yard officials. ABC News had a similar report, citing an unidentified official.
