According to RosMedia, the cause of death of Oleksiy Navalnyi was a blood clot that had broken off.
Navalnyi felt unwell after the walk and fainted. Doctors tried to resuscitate him but failed.
The Russian Federal Penitentiary Service is sending a commission to the ’Polar Wolf’ colony where Oleksiy Navalnyi died.
Experts will establish all the circumstances of the oppositionist’s death.
"Now, in accordance with all the current rules, the Federal Penitentiary Service is engaged in all checks, inquiries and so on. They don’t need any orders for this, because there is a certain set of rules in this regard. As for the blood clot, it’s up to the doctors to find out," Pyeskov said.
