As reported exclusively by russian sources at the moment, he lost consciousness after a walking hour and prison medics were unsuccessful in reanimating him, as per sources in УФСИН (government body regulating prisons and punishment). He was 47 years old at that time. The last time he was heard of he was moved from Moscow-based prison into the IK-3 named Polar Wolf, a penal colony located in a permafrost region near the town of Harp, where he found his end.

No other sources commented on that by now. At that time, there’s no independent proof of that or other explanations but the one given by prison authorities.

A fitting reminder is that presidential elections are to be held in 15-17 of March, meaning it happened exactly one month prior to them.

    Navalny is a far right nationalist and white supremacist and was charged with establishing an extremist community. The RFA and BBC articles I linked in the comment you’re replying to provide the details. Assange’s crime was reporting on US military murdering civilians in cold blood.

      Do you think that that history makes his more recent, significant anti-corruption, anti-putin work in Russia void, and that these things cannot be discussed separately? Is the good/evil juxtaposition absolute in the real world?

        He hasn’t done any significant anti-corruption work in Russia. And even if he did, that doesn’t change the fact that he’s a fascist. The fact that you’re defending a fascist here says all I need to know about you as a person.
