In Khabarovsk, a man died after a violent detention by National Guard officers. The Investigative Committee said the cause of death was “not criminal in nature.”

On the evening of July 31, a video spread on social media showing four National Guard officers brutally restraining a man on Grazhdansky Lane in central Khabarovsk. After that, they forced him onto his knees and continued beating him, eyewitnesses write. Local паблики write that the National Guard officers were called because of the man’s violent behavior. During the detention, he allegedly lunged at them with a hammer and wanted to spray pepper spray. After the detention, the man died at the scene.

After that, the Investigative Committee opened an inquiry. Today, investigators said that “during the autopsy, the forensic expert found no bodily injuries that caused harm to the health and death of the detained offender. The cause of death is not criminal in nature.” Eyewitnesses assume that the man may have suffered a dislodged blood clot, Ostorozhno, Novosti writes.
