The Kremlin has dismissed fresh speculation that Russian President Vladimir Putin is ill and called rumours that he uses a body double an "absurd hoax".
The comments from Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov came after the General SVR Telegram channel, which regularly alleges Mr Putin is terminally ill with cancer, claimed he suffered "cardiac arrest" on Sunday evening.
"Everything is fine with him, this is absolutely another fake [story]," Mr Peskov said when asked about the reports during his regular media briefing on Tuesday morning.
He then called claims that the Russian leader has a body double an "absurd hoax".

You've posted two dozen of these stories about Putin's demise and everyone has been wrong. The only conclusion to make from that is that you enjoying making a fool of yourself.
There can always be coups. One would think the Secy of the Interior could kill everyone above on the succession path.
But Medvedev is next in line. Why btw would you think Patrushkev would be less hardline than Medvedev. He overtly talks about eradicating Ukraine, providing some territory of it to Poland, and is hardcore anti US.
If anything, he is more hardline than Medvedev, and certainly more so than Putin, a moderate.
Putin: Bullsh......uh, I mean Bolshoi.
The oligarchs want their yachts and villas back. Medvedev is too much of a drunk to make it happen. He’s not taken seriously because of his drinking,
Stern notice....
Okay, okay, who said I was going to walk through the park with open liquor anyway?
Putin stronk as bull!
Putin: I am no more ill than Mitch The American Turtle. We are both as healthy as can be.
Thanks for posting. That clears everything up nicely.
Assuming he drinks more than Patruskev, why would this matter? They are both far more hardline than Putin, so why would people want Putin replaced?
Medvedev is a clown and has no real power.

Putin died last year. That was the second body double. The first caught Putin quadruple death syndrome and died the second time in August.
Associated Press? LOL!
Its absurd because the story only assumes 1 body double.
Wish this squinty eyed mongoloid would do us all a favour and friggin shuffle off the mortal coil
