A police investigation has been launched into the death of the 67-year-old - a wanted man in Russia, and an opponent of President Vladimir Putin. A former Kremlin power-broker whose fortunes declined under Mr Putin, Mr Berezovsky emigrated to the UK in 2000. Thames Valley Police said the death, at a property in Ascot, Berkshire, was being treated as unexplained. The area around the property has been cordoned off to allow the investigation to take place, the force said. The inquiry was at a very early stage and more details will be released when available, it added. A South Central Ambulance Service spokeswoman said it had been called to the property at 15:18 GMT. "We sent a number of ambulance officers and an ambulance to the address. The 67-year-old male was confirmed deceased at the scene,"

Thanks JoeProBono.

• Did this man kill Cold War spy Georgi Markov with umbrella?

Wonder who the heirs are.

I had a cousin once named Berezovsky. Seriously.

Boy Putin is nobody to mess with

He has about killed off or exiled the entire old oy vey post commie oligarchs

I think he kept one younger one close to him he favors

Replaced the rest with his own more nationalistic wise guys

A tuff room no question

Beresovsky was in high cotton once

I woulda have enjoyed that life a bit
