    Do we even have proof that he’s actually dead?

        They could return his body to his family for one. I’m just saying it would behoove Russia to be able to move this guy around free from scrutiny and claiming that he had died would be a way to do that. I’m not saying the he’s alive but I also haven’t seen evidence that he died apart from their assertions that he did

            That’s happened since this conversation took place. The body has also now been turned over to his mother

          There’s no evidence, but what you’re saying is highly unlikely for too many reasons.

          I just wanted to shine a spotlight on how untrustworthy Russia is imho.
