"Russian politician Alexei Navalny died his own death," Russia's Foreign Intelligence Service (SVR) chief Sergei Naryshkin was quoted by state-run RIA news agency as saying on Tuesday, Paralel.Az reports.

"I don't think this was some kind of special plan, but unfortunately, people have a peculiarity: sooner or later life ends, they die. Navalny died a natural death, yes," Naryshkin said, answering a question about whether any forces in the West were involved in Navalny's death.
