Grigory Nekhoroshev, a Russian exile living in Riga, Latvia, dies at age 69 after reportedly eating poisonous mushrooms, according to Delfi news. He had lived in Riga for about 11 years described as a “political refugee.” The reports do not include additional detail about the circumstances leading to the illness, when he became ill, or the medical care he received.
The available coverage also presents Nekhoroshev as someone who had publicly criticized Vladimir Putin and had been described in that context as a “personal enemy,” and it notes that he had previously revealed a relationship with an Olympic gymnast. However, the sources provided focus mainly on his death in Riga and the reported cause.
No information is included in the supplied articles about an investigation, confirmation of the mushroom poisoning, or whether other factors contributed to his death.
