Mikhail Lesin, a former aide and minister under Russian President Vladimir Putin who was found dead in his hotel room in Washington, was killed by blunt force injuries to the head, the Washington chief medical examiner’s office said Thursday.
Lesin, who served as information minister under Putin and advised the president on media policies, ran one of Russia’s biggest media operations, Gazprom Media. He was also a founder of the Russia Today news channel, now known as RT.
Lesin was found dead at the Dupont Circle Hotel. He died of a heart attack, Russian state news service RIA Novosti reported.
The Washington medical examiner said today that in addition to the blows to the head, the 59-year-old Lesin suffered blunt-force injuries to his neck, torso, arms and legs. The examiner released its findings in a joint statement with Washington’s police department.
