A Russian TOP scientist who was working on a Covid-19 vaccine has been found dead under suspicious circumstances in St. Petersburg.
Alexander ‘Sasha’ Kagansky, 45, was reported to have fallen in his underwear from a window on the 14th floor of a high-rise apartment and was reportedly found with stab wounds.

The biologist had close ties to the University of Edinburgh and had worked in the city for 13 years until at least 2017.
Russia’s Investigative Committee has opened a murder investigation and a 45-year-old suspect has been arrested, according to Moskovsky Komsomolets (MK).
Dr. Kagansky had served as Director of the Center for Genomic and Regenerative Medicine at the Russian Far Eastern Federal University in Vladivostok, where he continued his research collaboration with the Scottish university.
MK reported that the academic had been “developing a vaccine against the coronavirus” and that he died “under strange circumstances.”
The report goes on to claim that the police officers believed a “fight” had occurred before Kagansky fell.
MK did not elaborate on which of several international Covid-19 vaccines it was supposed to be working on.
