Experts: Patarkatsishvili died a natural death
British policemen have promulgated the first results of the post mortem examination of Badri Patarkatsishvili's body. It was found out that the death of the Georgian businessman was a result of natural causes, runs their special statement.
No poisonous substances were detected in his body, and the death, most likely, was caused by heart attack, independent examiners have stated.
At the same time, pathologists are going to continue their studies in order to be sure of the absence of any toxins in Patarkatsishvili's body, which could lead to lethal outcome. The examination can take a couple of weeks, the ITAR-TASS reports.
However, one should keep in mind that The Times wrote that Patarkatsishvili almost for certain died as a result of a conspiracy. The businessman had repeatedly state that Georgian authorities made preparations to liquidate him. His friendship with the disgraced Russian oligarch Boris Berezovsky, suspected links with the Kremlin and Patarkatsishvili's activities allow us to speak that he had no paranoia but strong reasons to be afraid of murder, the edition remarks.
