Boris Berezovsky, the high-profile Russian oligarch who became a vociferous critic of the Kremlin from his new base in Britain, died today.
A close friend confirmed to The Telegraph that Mr Berezovsky had died at his home in Ascot, Berkshire.
The circumstances of the death remain unknown but the 67 year-old businessman is thought to have been found dead in his bath.
It will inevitably raise questions about nefarious activities because Mr Berezovsky had survived several assassination attempts, including a bomb that decapitated his chauffeur in 1994.
He was also a close friend of Alexander Litvinenko, the Russian dissident who was fatally poisoned with radioactive polonium-210 in London in 2006.
Another close friend in the "London Circle" of exiled but influential Russians is Akhmed Zakayev, who was also the subject of a plot to assassinate him on British soil.
