On Monday, media reports cited that the Russian transport minister Roman Starovoit was found dead from a gunshot wound in an apparent suicide.
The suicide of the Russian official came after the Kremlin announced dismissing him from his position by President Vladimir Putin.
The Kremlin did not provide the reasons for dismissing Starovoit, who served as transport minister since May 2024.
Russia’s Investigative Committee said the body of Starovoit was found with a gunshot wound in his car parked in Odintsovo.
The gun was found next to his body.
An investigation was launched into the death, and investigators saw suicide as the most likely cause, according to committee’s spokesperson Svetlana Petrenko.
