Navalny experienced severe abdominal pain, vomiting, and seizures before losing consciousness, according to initial reports seen by The Insider. However, these details were absent from the final version of the ruling that denied launching a criminal investigation into his death.
Medical experts, including Dr. Alexander Polupan, who treated Navalny in 2020 after his 'Novichok' nerve agent poisoning, have expressed doubts about the official cause of death—cardiac arrhythmia. Polupan noted that the symptoms described, including abdominal pain and seizures, are consistent with poisoning by organophosphate substances.
The documents also revealed that samples of vomit were taken for testing, though there was no official acknowledgment of this. Navalny’s widow, Yulia, had previously raised concerns, stating that her husband complained of acute abdominal pain shortly before his death. She has consistently rejected the Russian Investigative Committee's report, which attributed his death to pre-existing health issues.
