A Latvian-American businessman who made his money in Russia before becoming a critic of Putin has been found dead in the US, Russian media has claimed.
Dan Rapoport, an investment banker, is said to have killed himself in Washington DC in recent days - with the former editor of Russian Tatler magazine claiming Tuesday that his dog was found in a nearby park with money and a suicide note.
But widow Alena, a Ukrainian virologist, has denied he killed himself - saying 'there was no note, no suicide'.
She claimed that an investigation has been launched into his death, but there does not appear to have been an announcement in America that one is underway.
Mr Rapoport lived in DC between 2012 - when he arrived from Russia amid protests again Putin - and 2016, when he moved to Kyiv and sold his house to Ivanka and Jared Trump following Donald Trump's election win.
It was in Kyiv that Mr Rapoport met and married Alena - his second wife - and had a daughter with her.
He appears to have left Kyiv earlier this year after the war with Russia broke out and was spending some time in the US, though it is unclear where he was based.
News of Mr Rapoport's passing first broke Tuesday on the Telegram channel of Yuniya Pugacheva, the former editor of Russian Tatler.
Pugacheva said the financial executive had 'committed suicide in Washington DC' before giving details about the dog and the suicide note.

How do you say arkancide in Russian?
The dog did it!......................was he in the will?...................
Let me guess, the mysterious note found/planted on the dog will implicate President Trump in a crime with Russia and the money will be a payoff to be delivered to President Trump...

Is gun or are you happy to see me?
Hillary: "Hello, is the suicide hot line?
Person at other end of line: "No, this is the Humane Society, you've got the wrong number."
Hillary pauses.
Hillary: "Well, (*hic*) I'd like to place an order anyway."
необходимое убийство
How do you pronounce that? I need some phonics or IPA or something.
LOL. I figured someone would come up with the right answer. 👍🤭😆
This is my weapon, this is my gun.
So, the dog commited suicide?
Did his note say why?
The best I can do is "Nyakaydimna odeefa."
Literal translation is "Needed killing".
That's a keeper.

Here lies Spot
A cat he was not.
On the fateful day of his Fancy Feast Meal.
The neighborhood dogs laughed till they cried.
Alas Spot was shamed...and that's how he died.
For all your globalist warmongering needs, turn to George Soros. (also sponsored by Pfizer)
That’s sad.
Too bad there weren’t any AI dogbot censors to protect him from bullying.
Or he could have just left the cat food to the cats where it belonged.
Uhhh, huh.
Lemme guess — the dog is a shaggy one.
Joy Tiz is still around? Awesome.
