As reported exclusively by russian sources at the moment, he lost consciousness after a walking hour and prison medics were unsuccessful in reanimating him, as per sources in УФСИН (government body regulating prisons and punishment). He was 47 years old at that time. The last time he was heard of he was moved from Moscow-based prison into the IK-3 named Polar Wolf, a penal colony located in a permafrost region near the town of Harp, where he found his end.

No other sources commented on that by now. At that time, there's no independent proof of that or other explanations but the one given by prison authorities.

A fitting reminder is that presidential elections are to be held in 15-17 of March, meaning it happened exactly one month prior to them.

Yeah sure, FSB is so incompetent that they couldn't figure out how to assassinate him in a state hospital and then for some reason let him go to Germany. Russians are the most incompetent assassins on the planet apparently. Meanwhile, he was 47 and had known health issues, so yeah it's not at all unlikely your fascist friend died of a stroke or some shit.
