Victor and Mark have been friends for many years. Goronok said he last saw him a week ago, on Thursday. He called a friend to the theater – the friends were joking, there was no sign of trouble. However, Melikhov had health problems.

“I noticed that it was difficult for Vitya to walk, his leg hurt a lot,” explained Mark. – He had a hip operation a year ago, after which he was trying to recover: he was riding a bike, trying to walk. On Friday we called Victor again, he said he had just finished a day of shooting in a new project. It was the last day of shooting. The last thing he said to me was, “I’m done shooting, I’ll come home and go to bed. I’m very tired.” I couldn’t talk to him after that.”

The “You’re My Only” actor tried to call a friend on Saturday, but he didn’t pick up the phone. Goronok went to his house – knocked on the door, but it turned out to be useless. Mark believes he was already dead then. Melikhov lived. Victor’s body was found in the apartment a few days after his death.

“His daughter Daria told me he had heart problems that he never told his friends about. I feel so sorry for Vitya. He was a great actor and a kind person. He was almost 62, but he always looked young,” Regnum Goronok told IA.

The exact cause of the artist’s death will be known after a forensic medical examination. Mark assured that the friend had no problems with illegal substances and alcohol. He did not complain of depression.

“But there was a bit of a depressed state from dissatisfaction, lack of demand. Every actor has that, but generally every person has that. At the same time, Vitya liked to walk. He lived in the center of St. Petersburg, often walked. He had women until the last day, they loved him because he never treated other people badly and ugly,” KP quotes the actor.

Victor Melikhov starred in more than 60 films and TV series. The most famous projects with his participation: “National Security Agent”, “Gangster Petersburg”, “Sea Devils”, “NLS Agency”, “Street of Broken Lights”, “Deadly Force”, “Brezhnev”, “Police Wars”, “Nevsky”, “Outsider”.
