On the same day that a Russian minister was found dead hours after being sacked, a second man in the same department dropped dead.

Deputy head of Russia’s Federal Road Agency’s Property Management Department, Andrey Korneichuk, reportedly stood up and collapsed in his office.

Paramedics declared the 42-year-old dead at the scene, with initial reports finding his heart just ‘stopped’.
