The long time critic of Putin was jailed in a move that inevitably condemned him to death either by accidentally tripping over or health issues perpetrated by the system that wanted him dead anyway. He had already been poisoned by the Russian state and sought treatment in Germany, but returned to Russia where he was immediately arrested and put in prison.
One more opponent of Putin eliminated.
In a statement, the prison said he had "felt unwell" after a walk on Friday.
He had "almost immediately lost consciousness", it continued, adding that an emergency medical team had immediately been called and tried to resuscitate him but without success.
"The emergency doctors declared the prisoner dead. Cause of death is being established."
