Putin is 'shocked' at the death.
THE death of Vladimir Putin's transport minister has raised a series of awkward questions for the dictator.
Roman Starovoit, 53, was sacked by Vlad on Monday after he couldn't stop Ukraine causing mayhem to Russia's aviation industry.
But he was dead just hours later - with the circumstances unclear and conflicting details emerging about what happened.
It's just the latest mystery death among Russia's elite, including many who have plunged from windows.
Was the body moved?
Versions of Starovoit's death from official sources were constantly changing, with initial reports saying his body had been found at home.
Russian cops then said Starovoit's body was found having shot himself inside his black Tesla.
But press reports and photos clearly showed a body being removed from long grass near the electric car.
The motor was found in a carpark in Malevich Park in Moscow - not far from the minister's home.
Reports in the Russian press quickly emerged saying the weapon he used was presented with a pistol by the Russian Interior Ministry in 2023.
The minister’s tearful girlfriend and assistant Polina Korneeva, 25, was brought to the scene by law enforcement to identify the corpse.
She bawled her eyes out as Starovoit was removed and taken to a waiting van and DNA samples could be seen being taken.
But officials did not correct the official record of where he was found.
Intriguingly, CCTV cameras reportedly do not show him approaching the scene at Malevich Park where he died.
Did it happen hours after he was sacked?
Starovoit's time of death is also mysterious.

Reminds me of Vince Foster.
“Reminds me of Vince Foster.”
Foster was an especially lively corpse.
Nobody denies Putin is a murderous thug, but that doesn’t mean Zelensky isn’t evil, too. You can print your anti Putin, pro Z articles all day; it won’t give Zelensky clean hands.
After the war, Zelensky will need to explain why there weren’t adequate defenses at the Ukraine-Crimea border. And why the Ukrainian mines were removed from the Antonivsky bridge in Kherson 2 weeks before Putin invaded.
