And there is nothing mysterious about dying from a blood clot. Sadly, it happens all the time (thrombosis).
Immediately following my heart surgery in 2013 (atrial valve repair), 2 clots were discovered in my leg and one in my lung. It turned out that I was subject to heparin-induced thrombocytopenia (HIT), where the heparin used as a blood anti-coagulant during the procedure actually acted the opposite. It is akin to an allergy and I had to go on a different blood thinner (warfarin) for quite a while afterward. My red blood cells had been depleted due to the clot formations and I was anemic. I had to remain in hospital for 19 days while my red blood cell count was restored. Interesting to watch the progression from late summer to fall outside my window during this time. Lots of fun trying to make it to the restroom by myself...like climbing the Matterhorn with a spike through my chest.
Years later, I then had a follow-up surgical procedure on my heart further delayed for years because a clot had been discovered in the "atrial appendage" of my heart, and we had to wait for blood thinners to dissolve it away. Dislodging the clot could have killed me instantly.
This idea that Navalny was murdered by some mysterious method is just nutty thinking. (Plus, it seems Navalny was not a candidate for Best Citizen of the Year. He is reputed to have been a Nazi sympathizer, and that he had taken money from the U.S.---caught red-handed---to foment a Maidan revolution in Russia.)
