Breaking: Russian Ambassador to UN Just Passed Out and Died of an “Apparent Heart Attack” in NYC

Just a day before his 65th birthday, Russian Ambassador to the United Nations Vitaly Churkin has died of an “apparent” heart attack.

Early reports say he passed out at his desk at the Russian Mission to the UN on East 67th Street in Manhattan around 9:30 a.m. this morning. Churkin was rushed to the hospital where he could not be revived. He was pronounced dead at 10:55 a.m.

The Russian Foreign Ministry confirmed Churkin “unexpectedly died” but provided no further details confirming exactly how he died. Western mainstream outlets are reporting “apparent heart attack” and an unnamed law enforcement official reportedly told CNN it was “cardiac arrest” with no further details.

Russian President Vladimir Putin is reportedly “deeply upset” at Churkin’s sudden and unexpected passing.

And suddenly everyone thinks we’re living in a James Bond movie.

So the Russian ambassador to the UN has just died in NYC. If this were a spy thriller, I would scoff at this plot twist.
