Nah, that is an easy spin for them. "Russian agents injected him with clotting agents to make it seem like a natural death".
They are working backwards from the assumption he was murdered (don't ask them why Russia would martyr a prisoner) and so any possible cause of death will be attributed to foul play. A meteor could haven fallen from the sky and it would be attributed to the Russian space program.

not just a prisoner, a prisoner russia was in the process of making a deal to exchange in order to return valuable russian prisoners back to russia, they had 0 reason to kill him when they were actively trying to use him as a bargaining chip.
