A high-ranking Russian official was found dead at the Russian Embassy in Cyprus, and the autopsy indicated that the death was not natural, being considered 'likely a suicide', according to a source from the Cypriot police. The body was found in his office on Thursday, and the Embassy immediately contacted the police. However, the authorities were not authorized to enter the embassy building.


The identity of the official has not been disclosed, but it is known that he left a letter, which was not communicated to the police, being sent to Moscow. The incident was reported late to the Cypriot authorities, and Cyprus, which holds the six-month presidency of the European Union, hosts a significant Russian community.
