Two days have passed since his death. However, the body of Alexei Navalny, a staunch critic of Russian President Vladimir Putin, has not been found by his family. Navalny’s 69-year-old mother reached the mortuary in Salekhard city yesterday despite minus 30 degrees Celsius to collect her son’s body. But Navalny’s mother Ludmila Navalnaya had to return empty-handed from there. Only Navalny’s death time to Him Jail authorities said. It has been said that Last Friday at 2:17 PM local Timely died.
Navalny’s spokeswoman Kira Yarmish has accused the Russian government of hiding his body. Kira demanded the immediate return of Navalny’s body in an interview. In his words, “At the moment, none of us know where Navalny’s body is, in what condition it is. We are informing the administration to immediately hand over the body to his family.” Amid the controversy, Navalny’s wife, Yulia, posted a photo of herself with her husband on Instagram. In the picture taken from behind, Navalny is standing with his head on Yulia’s head. In the caption of the photo, Yulia simply wrote, ‘I love you’ in Russian.
Ludmila was also informed of Navalny’s cause of death. In a statement, the Arctic Circle Prison authorities said that the staunch anti-Putin politician died of sudden death syndrome. Sudden death syndrome is when someone dies suddenly due to a heart attack without any prior symptoms or cause. However, the Russian administration is still unanswered as to why Navalny’s body is not being handed over to the family. Navalny’s mother was told yesterday that the first post-mortem report was incomplete. Therefore, the autopsy of the body must be done again. However, after Navalny’s death, the prison authorities initially said that there was no abnormality in Navalny’s death, so any conspiracy allegations about this death are baseless.
