Janet Kelley, 56, editor in chief of The Daily Journal in Caracas, Venezuela, and a political analyst, in Caracas. Kelly's body was found March 24, and the cause of death was under investigation.

Kelly, a native of Philadelphia, had lived in Venezuela for more than 20 years. A graduate of the Georgetown University School of Foreign Service and the Johns Hopkins School of Advanced International Studies, she served as dean of Public Policy at the Institute of Higher Administration Studies in Caracas.

In February, Kelly led a group which purchased The Daily Journal, Caracas' English-language newspaper.

Kelly was considered one of Venezuela's most respected political analysts. She wrote numerous books, academic articles and newspaper columns on Venezuelan politics, and she served on the board of the Venezuelan American Chamber of Commerce.
