Ex-Putin adviser's death in Washington hotel an 'accident'

28 October 2016 US & Canada

US officials say the death of a former Vladimir Putin adviser, whose body was found in a Washington DC hotel with extensive injuries, was an "accident".

"Acute ethanol intoxication" was a contributory cause of Mikhail Lesin's death on 5 November last year, said the US Attorney for District of Columbia.

The 57-year-old was found dead alone in his Dupont Circle Hotel room.

He had blunt-force injuries to his head, neck, torso, upper and lower extremities.

The US Attorney said these injuries were "induced by falls" following "days of excessive consumption of alcohol".

1. Sure they were.

3. So you think a conspiracy is more likely than a drunk falling?

Ummm

4. Seems like a lot of injuries. But I guess that depends where he fell.

Just saying. When it comes to Russia, CT isn't a bad thing to have. There is no trust with them.

Ummm

2. That's what they're telling us. But make no mistake, they damn well know KGB-Putin is behind this

and they're secretly doing some serious investigation into it.

Since it happened in a hotel - and people in said hotel talk - they had to make an 'official' statement that this was an accident.

But we know better.

5. Thank you.

Trust Russia?
"they had to make an 'official' statement that this was an accident."
