When Russias ambassador to the United Nations died suddenly in New York last week, he became the sixth Russian diplomat to die unexpectedly since November, leaving internet conspiracy theorists trying to spot a pattern.
Vitaly Churkin, 64, was rushed to hospital from his office at Russias UN mission on 20 February, after becoming ill without warning on his way in to work.
It was initially reported that Mr Churkin may have suffered a heart attack, but following an autopsy medical examiners said the death required further study.
Media company Axios note that not only is Mr Churkins death unexplained, but it is also remarkably similar to the deaths of Russias Ambassador to India on 27 January, the countrys consul in Athens on 9 January, and a Russian diplomat in New York on US election day, 8 November.
