No visible injuries were found on the bodies of Konovalova and her ex-husband, Russian state news agency RIA Novosti reported. “The cause of death is believed to be poisoning by an unknown substance,” the news agency added.
Konovalova’s death is the latest in a series of mysterious deaths of Russian media figures. Only on Sunday did it become known that Russian journalist Alexander Rybin had been found dead at the border with Ukraine. Last month, Anna Zareva, the deputy editor of Komsomolskaya Pravda, was found dead in her Moscow apartment.
