The body of the young man born in 2006 shows no signs of violence. According to the police, the young man was seriously ill.
A pre-trial investigation has been launched to determine the cause of death.
It is reported that the young foreigner stopped by “Akropolis” to eat, felt unwell, rushed to the pharmacy, where he collapsed and could not be saved.
It turned out that the deceased young man is a citizen of Uzbekistan, reports lrytas.lt.
His friends told the authorities that the young man suffered from serious illnesses.
Crime is not suspected at this time, but one detail caught the attention of the authorities, so a rather rare cause of death is also being investigated. It turned out that the foreigner ate in the same shopping center just before the accident. So a sudden allergic reaction is not ruled out yet, writes the mentioned portal.
The exact cause of the Uzbek’s death will be determined by forensic experts for the police.
