Ousted President Yanukovych had a Heart-Attack and is Probably Dead?

Apparently, Victor Yanukovych had a heart-attack a few days ago. Or today. Or maybe he didn’t.

Pravda reported on Tuesday that he was probably dead:

Ousted Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych has died tonight, Ukrainian media report citing Facebook oppositionist Mikhail Lebed.

According to him, he received the information about the death of the ousted Ukrainian leader from a friend of his, who works at the heart center in the city of Rostov, Russia.

“Yanykovych was brought there at around 11 PM on March 3 after suffering a heart attack, and an hour later he died,” Lebed said.

There is no official confirmation to this news. Many Facebook users are assured that the message from Lebed was nothing but a hoax.

It was reported tonight that Yanukovych had sent a written request to Russian President Vladimir Putin to use Russian armed forces to protect the population of Ukraine. This was reported by the Russian envoy to the UN Security Council, Vitaly Churkin. He demonstrated a photocopy of the original letter to members of the UN Security Council.

The Cardiological Center of the Rostov Regional Hospital denied the information about the death of Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych. They also said that the Ukrainian president had not been admitted to the center.

The information about the death of Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych appeared on the Russian Internet, but was not confirmed. Both Ukrainian and Russian news agencies may provide contradictory and unconfirmed reports against the background of the ongoing crisis in Ukraine.

Then this was dismissed as a hoax. I didn’t pay much attention to it.  I didn’t post anything about it, as my purpose is not to monger internet rumors.

But now several sources are claiming it wasn’t a hoax.

Newsmax:

Ousted Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych is in a Moscow hospital in “grave” condition after suffering a heart attack, a Russian newspaper has reported.

“According to an MK source, Yanukovych may have had a heart attack. His condition is assessed as grave,” Moskovsky Komsomolets newspaper reported. “So far there has been no official confirmation.”

Earlier this week, Russian President Vladimir Putin dismissed a report that Yanukovych had died from a heart attack, saying on Tuesday he was “alive and healthy” and that he had met him several days earlier, according to the U.K.’s Daily Mail.

Yanukovych has not been seen in public since giving a press conference in Russia one week ago, the Mail said.

The original MK report being cited says nothing other than “according to an unofficial source,” he had a heart attack.  I’m guessing that paper has some sort of track record for all of these different papers to be taking it seriously.

Euronews removed their article about it within the last hour.

Googling around with the translator, there are a whole bunch of different Ukrainian and Russian sites saying this, but it’s unclear whether or not they’re all using the same source. 

You’d think he’d want to come out and say he isn’t dead. But I’m guessing he’s pretty ashamed, what with losing his own country to a coup 3/4ths of the way through his term and all.

Or, maybe he’s really dead. There are certainly a whole lot of different reasons that whole lot of different people would have wanted him dead.  Or maybe he just had a heart-attack from the stress of such failure.  He didn’t look particularly healthy.
