The agency reports that we are talking about a resident of the city of Kamyshin, Yuri Kruchinin. A 58-year-old man bought pepper on the marketplace and began eating it regularly.

“He already had poor health - anemia, cirrhosis of the liver, but he was not treated. I don’t know if he was aware that eating hot peppers was contraindicated for him. He probably knew. Then Yuri was taken to the hospital, and today it became known that he died,” said his friend Oleg.

Kruchinin has no close relatives, but there was a nephew who will come and help bury Yuri, the interlocutor said
