Donetsk People's Republic (DPR) Foreign Affairs Minister Natalia Nikonorova (pictured right) stated on Friday that Paul Urey, a British aid worker that died in captivity in Ukraine, passed away due to acute coronary insufficiency.
"He died of acute coronary insufficiency, complicated by pulmonary and cerebral edema," she told Rossiya-24, stressing that this is "official information."
Earlier in the day, it was reported that Urey, a Briton, died in Russia's captivity. The United Kingdom then demanded an official explanation of his death.
