Alekhine death. There are things that do not fit

I can´t know exactly the causes of his death.

I leave a link with a very good and detailed information.

I find it extremely curious, that if was a choking, the body seems so "languid". It would make more sense to have moved and to have fallen on the ground. The dishes and table look very well placed.

Choking for a piece of meat?. Ok
Heart attack, angina pectoris?. Ok

I don´t know if he died or someone helped him die.

@ChicagoDragon

maybe the kgb did it ?

why does any of this matter anyway ??

there are lots of things you dont know
most of them a lot more important than how AA died
Can't you find any better "conspiracies" than this old worn out subject that's been around forever?
I once read another article by Edward Winter, where he gave another account of what happened, citing witnesses.
Alekhine felt unwell and asked a friend to take him to a brothel. There he died from a heart attack while having sex with a prostitute. Then the friend together with one or two other men carried the dead Alekhine back to his hotel room and staged the scene to save the embarrasment.
Winter's account is debunked. There are many "theories". A leading one points to assassination as his death occurred a day after the WC Match was announced and Alekhines past political history.
His death will remain a mystery, having happened so long ago. No "uncovered" new evidence can have any credibility this long afterwards. Fact is he was in extremely poor health, very depressed and penniless.
Big mystery, really, How come old, sick, alcoholic dies. Must be the illuminati
I read recently that Alekhine was sentenced to death for belonging to the aristocracy and his friend Leon Trotski saved him from death.

A family member showed that at the autopsy, asphyxia is determined by a piece of meat.

Apart from what I wrote in the first post. It is striking as he has the coat so well placed.

It is very strange the theories of his death compared to the position of the body and what surrounds him.

I've talked about Leon Trotski because apart from sharing friendship, I think they also share something else, they died with help (human).
