A body believed to be that of a Ukrainian-born oligarch was discovered in an English mansion, report

A body believed to be that of Ukrainian-born oligarch Mikhail Watford has been found at an estate in Surrey, England, The Times reported.

In a statement sent to Insider, the Surrey police said that an investigation into the circumstances of the death was underway, but that they were not yet treating it as suspicious.

The police could not confirm the identity of the deceased man. According to multiple local outlets, the body is believed to be Watford.

The oligarch made his fortune in gas and oil. He has bought multiple expensive properties across London and the south of England, including an £18 million ($24 million) mansion in Surrey, per The Times.

Edited to add,from the newspaper:

'The timing of his death and the invasion of Ukraine was surely not coincidental,' the source told the newspaper. Another associate told The Sun Watford's death 'raises questions' after other suspicious deaths of Russian nationals.
