A post-mortem examination on the body of Russian oligarch and former Kremlin critic Boris Berezovsky has found his death was ‘consistent with hanging’ as there was no sign of ‘violent struggle’, British police said today.
The 67-year-old businessman-turned-Kremlin-critic was found dead in his sprawling property in Ascot, an affluent town a few kilometres from Queen Elizabeth’s Windsor Castle, on Saturday. ‘The results of the post-mortem examination, carried out by a Home Office pathologist, have found the cause of death is consistent with hanging. The pathologist has found nothing to indicate a violent struggle,’ according to UK police.
