Acclaimed theater actor and opposition activist Alexei Devotchenko has been found dead in a pool of blood at his apartment in northeastern Moscow, news reports said. Devotchenko, 49, was discovered with slashes on his body, unnamed polices sources were cited as saying by news agency LifeNews, which has strong links to the Russian security services.
An early report by state news agency TASS quoted a law enforcement source as saying the death appeared to be violent, though the Investigative Committee later denied this in comments to Interfax. Devotchenko, who also suffered a head injury before his death, had been drinking heavily and could have had a heart attack, a police source told Interfax. But this would not account for the blood at the scene, and LifeNews quoted police as saying Devotchenko had smashed a glass cupboard with his bare hands in a drunken rage before losing consciousness from the blood loss.
