Britain opens a judicial inquiry into the death of Russian oligarch Boris Berezovsky on Thursday to establish how he died in the locked bathroom of his vast mansion near London.
Berezovsky, who survived years of intrigue, power struggles and assassination attempts in Russia, was found dead on Saturday in his home in Ascot, a town close to Queen Elizabeth's Windsor Castle.
Police said there was no sign of a struggle and the 67-year-old's death was ‘consistent with hanging’, suggesting he might have killed himself.
He was the man behind Putin’s ascent.
