- Story Text: The unexplained death last year in Washington of Mikhail Lesin, a Russian media executive and former adviser to President Vladimir Putin, was accidental and caused partly by alcohol poisoning after days of heavy drinking, U.S. authorities said on Friday (October 28).
The death of Lesin, who was found in his hotel room on Nov. 5, 2015, was partly attributable to "acute ethanol intoxication," according to a statement by city police and the U.S. Attorney's Office for the District of Columbia. - Copyright Holder: FILE REUTERS (CAN SELL)
