MEXICO CITY. June 4. KAZINFORM Two Russians -a man and a woman - have been discovered dead on their yacht at the entrance to the Panama Canal, the local police reported on Wednesday, Kazinform refers to ITAR-TASS.
"We are fully aware of what happened and we are closely cooperating with the local authorites," Russian Consul in Panama Georgy Polin told Itar-Tass by telephone.
"Police haven't found any evidence of a violent death. The two could have been intoxicated, though no drugs or other strong chemical agents have been found on the yacht. An autopsy that will be carried out by Panamanian medics on Thurday may certainly throw more light on the incident," Polin went on to say, Kazinform cites ITAR-Tass.
