US Diplomat Found Dead in Kyiv Hotel—Report
The body of the unnamed embassy attaché was found Tuesday at Kyiv’s Hilton Hotel, online newspaper Strana UA reported Wednesday, citing law enforcement sources
Ukrainian news outlet New Voice (NV), citing unnamed sources, also reported that the attaché’s body was found at the city’s Hilton Hotel on Tuesday.
U.S. State Department spokesperson Matthew Miller later confirmed the death, saying during a Wednesday press conference that the individual was a U.S. government employee “who was under chief of mission authority” at the embassy in Kyiv.
“I hate to even bring this up—but I know sometimes conspiracies theories spin out of control—that it is our understanding that he died of natural causes, and there’s no sign of foul play,” Miller said.
“Yesterday at about 11:00 a.m. the body of an attaché of the U.S. Embassy was found in a hotel room. No signs of violence were found on the body. The man arrived in Ukraine on June 15,” one source said, Strana UA reported.
“According to medical data provided by the U.S. Embassy, the man suffered from high cholesterol,” a source added, according to the report.
NV said that there were no signs of bodily injury and that the hotel room’s door was closed from the inside.
“No autopsy was performed—the body was taken by the U.S. Embassy. It is known that the man had high cholesterol levels,” NV reported.
