Russian human rights activist Vladimir Osechkin alleges Alexei Navalny may have been killed with a KGB method—a single punch to the heart—amid delayed release of his body by officials. Navalny died suddenly in an Arctic penal colony, with his body yet to be released. Allegations suggest he was kept in harsh conditions to weaken him before the fatal blow. Paramedics note "signs of bruises" on his body, raising suspicions. Navalny's family demands his body for a public funeral, accusing Putin of torture. Russian authorities claim Navalny "fell unwell" and died despite resuscitation attempts, as investigations into his death continue.
