The man's body was discovered on the morning of October 16 at his Osokorky summer villa. Initially, it was suggested that the case involved murder, as there were signs of violent death. However, the police later provided an official report stating that an unfortunate incident had taken place," the website writes.

The homeowner's body was discovered by a housekeeper who arrived to clean the house. "The Foreign Ministry has not indicated who the individual is.

A forensic examination concluded that the cause of death was a closed cranial trauma. A criminal case has been initiated under the article 'Intentional Murder' marked as 'Unfortunate Incident'. The pre-trial investigation is ongoing.
