Vladimir's body was discovered in a sitting position, his arm, still retaining some flesh, leaning on the kitchen table, his head slumped over. An empty vodka bottle and a glass sat in front of him, according to Pravda's reports.Neighbors reported that Ledenev, 68, vanished without a trace six years ago.“We reckoned that he’d moved somewhere else or checked himself into a hospital; he had TB,” said Irina Borodina, one of his neighbors, according to Pravda.Neighbors told police that Ledenev had started drinking heavily after his mother passed away 10 years ago.... http://www.foxnews.com censor News |
