Independent Russian media and activists are spreading details of the hours before the official announcement of Alexei Navalny's death. According to the unconfirmed reports, there are indications that he died the day before.

Not even the opposition politician's mother has been able to see her son's body. There are still many questions about the death of Navalny, including whether he was deliberately killed. The Kremlin says that Navalny died on the afternoon of February 16 due to a blood clot. However, initial reconstructions by independent Russian media question this version.
