    Whether or not Putin actually had him assassinated, years of unfair imprisonment and abuse certainly contributed heavily to his death. Putin is responsible, in one sense or another.

      did you even look at the article? there’s a video of him yesterday laughing and joking with the judge… he was fine yesterday… he was obviously murdered…

        I don’t know if I’d say it’s “obvious” he was murdered without more details. Yes, it’s incredibly likely - probably the most likely cause. That being said, people that appear healthy can and do die suddenly quite regularly - heart attack, stroke, aneurysm, etc. can occur at any age and even with healthy people, often with very little visible advance warning. He’d been poisoned in the past - who knows what damage that may have left. Though I would argue that would still count as murder, even if as a delayed effect.

        Still, yeah, he was probably murdered.
