The Kremlin said on July 8 that it was shocked by the sudden death of Russia’s former transport minister Roman Starovoit, news of which broke hours after President Vladimir Putin had sacked him.
Mr Starovoit was found dead in his car outside Moscow with a gunshot wound and the principal hypothesis is that he took his own life, state investigators said on July 7.
Asked about Mr Starovoit’s death, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said that Mr Putin had been briefed on the incident and described the news as “tragic and sad”.
Mr Peskov declined to speculate on the cause of Mr Starovoit’s death, citing the ongoing investigation.
“It can’t help but shock normal people. Naturally, it shocked us too,” said Mr Peskov.
“There’s an investigation under way. And it is this investigation that will answer all the questions.”
