Traces of torture: Alexei's body found with bruises on head and chest

Dead Putin critic Alexei Navalny's body reportedly showed bruising on his head and chest, raising suspicions about the circumstances of his death.

Russian officials claim Alexei Navalny fell unconscious and died after a walk. 

Russian government denies torture, claims natural death.

But Alexei Navalny's body had bruise marks, claims paramedic

The unnamed source, identified as an experienced paramedic, said Navalny’s head and chest were bruised when his body arrived at the mortuary, as reported by the Russian newspaper Novaya Gazeta Europe.

The paramedic mentions weird police presence at hospital

The body of Alexei Navalny, a prominent critic of Kremel who died in a Russian prison, was reported to have bruising on his head and chest, according to a Russian newspaper citing a paramedic professional.

In fact some of this morning’s Russian newspapers make no mention of Alexei Navalny’s death in prison. 

Some of them report but in most cases briefly, sure. Papers give more prominence to a story just about anywhere than to the death of the Kremlin’s most vocal critic.
