He died under mysterious circumstances this year. Actors who died under mysterious circumstances

In this article I will tell you about the mysterious deaths of some Russian celebrities.
These people died under mysterious circumstances and the true cause of their death has not been clarified to this day.
Vasily Shukshin
His last year life was very successful... Sergei Bondarchuk offered Shukshin the role of Lopakhin in the film “They Fought for the Motherland.” Filming began in August 1974 on the Don. By the beginning of October, Shukshin had almost completely completed the role; he only had to star in the last episode. On October 4 he was supposed to return to Moscow...


There is a version that on that fateful night a murder occurred on the ship “Danube”. After all, Vasily Makarovich never complained about his heart. Before filming, Shukshin underwent examination at the “Kremlin hospital”. According to the testimony of some members of the film crew, a day or two before the actor’s death, a certain man appeared on the set where the film “They Fought for the Motherland” was filmed. stranger. And no one knew where he came from and for what purpose he hung around there. And he disappeared immediately after the death of Vasily Makarovich.
Zoya Fedorova

On December 11, 1981, 71-year-old actress Zoya Fedorova was shot in the back of the head in her three-room apartment No. 243 at 4/2 Kutuzovsky Prospekt. The murder has still not been solved. Among his possible motives are the actress’s alleged involvement in secret KGB operations (there were rumors about the KGB’s involvement in the murder) and her connection with the so-called “diamond mafia,” which consisted mainly of relatives of high-ranking Soviet officials and was engaged in the purchase and resale of jewelry and antiques.
Victor Tsoi


On August 15, 1990, at 12:15 p.m., on the 35th km of the Soka-Talsi highway (Latvia), a dark blue Moskvich-2141 car collided with an Ikarus-280 regular bus. The driver of the Moskvich was the famous musician, leader of the Kino group Viktor Tsoi.


The official version: “the car was moving along the highway at a speed of at least 130 km/h, the driver Viktor Robertovich Tsoi lost control. Death of V.R. Tsoi came instantly...”
From the case materials:
“Ikarus-250” drifted off the road into the small river Teitupe, behind the bridge... The driver J. K. Fibiks, who works at the Tallinn branch of Latselkhoztehniki, escaped with minor bruises and fright. Before that, he took a tourist group to the airport and was returning back.
The new Moskvich-2141 Ya6832 MM was thrown 18 meters towards the bridge by a powerful blow. Only the rear bumper remained intact. Upon examination, it is noticeable that the impact on the car occurred from left to right, front to back. Apparently, the front bumper of the Ikarus went over the hood of the Moskvich straight into the cabin. The steering wheel is bent on the driver's side, the seats are knocked down, and the front panel is broken. The hood flew off, everything else was crushed."


A forensic medical examination showed that no alcohol was found in the blood of the deceased. Death occurred as a result of an accident from multiple injuries to the body. No criminal case was initiated “due to the lack of corpus delicti in the actions of the drivers.” And, therefore, forensic, investigative and other examinations were not carried out.
Mike Naumenko


In August 1991, Mike Naumenko, the leader of the Zoo group, was found dead in his room in a communal apartment on Razyezzhaya Street: the cause of his death was a fracture of the base of the skull. Doctors determined that death occurred on August 27, 1991 from a cerebral hemorrhage.
The circumstances of his death remain largely mysterious. As rock journalist N. Kharitonov wrote: “With Tsoi, at least, everything was clear - if not in essence, then in form - how everything happened. Mike... just disappeared without leaving any traces.”


The drummer of the Zoo group, Valery Kirilov, expressed a different point of view: according to him, Mike Naumenko really died from a cerebral hemorrhage, but it did not occur due to natural causes, but due to a fracture of the base of the skull as a result of a brutal blow dealt to him in the yard in time of robbery. This is evidenced by the loss of Mike Naumenko’s personal belongings.
There is also testimony from one teenager who allegedly saw Mike being lifted from the ground in the yard. After the attack, Mike did not die on the spot, but managed to go to his home, but there he completely weakened and lay unconscious for a long time, unnoticed by anyone in the communal apartment. When his loved ones finally found him and called an ambulance, it was already too late.
Alexey Rybin, producer of Mike Naumenko’s album of songs “MIKE Period Park,” had his own version: “Alcohol is to blame, of course. The night before his death, Vasin drank heavily. Mike was bad, very bad in serious condition, with a black face. In this state, falling with the back of your head on the asphalt is easy. Mike suffered a fracture of the base of his skull - a typical alcoholic death when a deeply intoxicated person falls on his back.”
Igor Talkov

Igor Talkov was killed on October 6, 1991. It all happened in the St. Petersburg Yubileiny Sports Palace: the singer was shot right outside the dressing room as a result of a brawl with his concert director Valery Shlyafman and Igor Malakhov. The second possible suspect in the singer’s murder, Shlyafman, now lives in Israel. The criminal investigation into Talkov’s death was suspended several years ago, but was not closed.
During the investigation into Talkov's murder, his administrator Valery Shlyafman became one of the main suspects along with Aziza's bodyguard Igor Malakhov, who started a shootout on October 6, 1991. After a series of examinations, the investigation came to the conclusion that the last, fatal shot was fired from Shlyafman’s pistol.

The funeral of the legendary musician, who died at the peak of his fame, was crowded. The burial site is to this day a place of pilgrimage for connoisseurs of his work, and much mystical is associated with the grave itself, as with Talkov’s life.

Shortly before the murder, Krug recorded an album under the working title “Tverichanka” (later released under the name “Confession”), for which he was supposed to receive a fee any day. This version was rejected by those who believed that Krug was sincerely respected in criminal circles, but it was this version that was the most popular in the early stages of the investigation.

From the brother’s story: “They show that Murat called from home close friend Baglana Sadvakasova: “Zhanna, everything is fine.” Do you know that he called from Natasha’s cell phone (the singer’s wife - approx.), which was at home? But Natasha herself was not at home. When those events happened to Murat that he allegedly had an attack and wanted to commit suicide, they said that his daughter allegedly sent a message to her mother on her cell phone, but it turns out that she had a cell phone at home!”
“He was going to go somewhere. What happened, why did he dress so nicely? And then, where is that camera they are all talking about?..

Wood is believed to have fallen into the water while traveling on a yacht with her husband Robert Wagner, Brainstorm co-star Christopher Walken and the ship's captain. Moreover, all three men claim that they did not see Natalie Wood fall overboard. Wood's blood alcohol content was determined to be 0.14 percent at the time of death; Painkillers were also found in the blood. And although these reasons are quite sufficient to explain the fall overboard, there are still details that do not fit into a coherent picture. For example, the death of the actress occurred around 12 noon, and emergency signals were not given for another hour and a half. In addition, they say that Wood untied the boat - where did she intend to go with it? Or rather, why? Well, another suspicious touch: the actress’s body was found a mile from the yacht and she was wearing only a nightgown.

The murder of Lennon remains a mystery to many now, as people cannot understand what exactly made Chapman point a gun at the legendary musician and shoot five times. Many believe that facts do not explain everything and that Lennon's death must be part of something larger; there is even a theory about a CIA conspiracy to “take out” Lennon; According to this theory, Chapman was recruited by the Secret Service. Another strange circumstance is the fact that when Chapman was arrested, he had the book “The Catcher in the Rye” with him, and he stated that he acted in the image and likeness of the main character of this novel.

The civil rights activist received many threats throughout his career, but he took the risk and did not believe that because of it he should stop fighting for equal rights. King was shot by a sniper while standing on the balcony of his hotel room. Over the past 50 years, King's death has been the subject of numerous conspiracy theories; Was Ray just a racist or was there someone behind him?

4. Elvis Presley

Elvis Presley died in the bathroom of his Graceland mansion on August 16, 1977 at the age of 42.

3. Kurt Cobain

Kurt Cobain's body was discovered by electrician Gary Smith on April 8, 1994; Smith arrived to install the security system, climbed the stairs to the conservatory above the garage and saw through the glass door what he initially thought was a mannequin lying on the floor. It is believed that Cobain barricaded himself in a greenhouse on April 5, wrote a suicide note addressed to an imaginary friend named Boddah, injected himself with a mixture of Valium and heroin, then lay down on the floor, put the barrel of a gun in his mouth, rested his feet on the other end of the gun, and pressed the trigger. The main reason for the many conspiracy theories about this death is the mass of inconsistencies and contradictions revealed during the examination of the case: for example, the examination of the gun was carried out by the Seattle police only a month later, and the prints on the weapon were blurred, which allowed experts to claim that someone wiped. Also, many claim that the note written by Cobain is in fact not farewell letter suicide, but rather a statement that he was quitting the music business. Private investigator Tom Grant, hired by Courtney Love in an attempt to track down her husband in the days before his death, is a leading proponent of the theory that Cobain's death was a homicide rather than a suicide. Grant has several strong arguments in favor of his theory and continues to defend it tenaciously.

2. Black Dahlia

The brutal death of aspiring actress Elizabeth Short is one of the most famous and odious murders in history. Although Short was not as famous as the other people on this list, her death is perhaps the most mysterious of all. On January 15, 1947, the mutilated body of Elizabeth Short was found in an abandoned plot of land on South Norton Avenue in Leimert Park, near the Los Angeles city limits. The body was cut into two parts at the waist and dismembered. The killer was never found. There is a theory that this murder is connected to the Cleveland Butcher - unidentified serial killer, but does not go further than theory.

1. Princess Diana

There are endless conspiracy theories surrounding the death of Princess Diana as a result of car accident August 31, 1997. Mohammed Al-Fayed, the father of Diana's friend Dodi, who also died in that accident, believes that his son and Diana were killed; Fayed conducted a police investigation in 2004, which resulted in no less than 175 different versions. One of them is based, of course, on the fact that Diana was pregnant with Dodi's child and, according to rumors, they were engaged, so their death could not be an accident: the future king of England is unlikely to need stepbrother with such an unsuitable pedigree. Another version claims that the paparazzi chasing the car should be blamed for Diana’s death. There is also information that two unidentified black cars were driving behind Diana’s car, which then disappeared into the ground.

The famous American writer Sidney Sheldon, who decided to conduct an independent investigation, found out that the suicides of Sharif and Dazibai were not the only ones. A mysterious pestilence attacked English specialists working on the problem of UFOs and stellar weapons:
...January 1987. Avtar Sing-Gida has gone missing and been declared dead.
...February 1987. Peter Pippel is crushed to death by his car in the garage.
...March 1987. David Sands committed suicide by driving his car towards high speed to the cafe building.
...April 1987. Mark Wisner hanged himself.
...April 1987. Stuart Gooding - killed.
...April 1987. David Greenhalgh - fell from a bridge.
...April 1987. Shani Warren - drowned himself.
...May 1987. Michael Baker - died in a car accident.

In total, according to Sheldon, in a short period of time, more than twenty of their colleagues followed Sharif and Dazibai into the other world. To be more precise - 23 people.

Can this be considered a mere coincidence? And if this is not an accident, then what? The most incredible hypothesis, the existence of alien aggression in this regard, attempts by another mind to subjugate human race. At first glance, this version borders on science fiction.

But don't rush to conclusions. From the archives of the Phenomenon association:

The first officially recorded case of receiving mysterious signals from space dates back to 1889. This happened in Nikola Tesla's Colorado laboratory.

1921 Guillielmo Marconi received strange signals.

1928 The scientific press reported a mysterious "radio echo" from some object located outside the Earth's ionosphere.

1959 NASA specialists recorded signals from an unknown satellite of our planet.

1961 During the OZMA project to search for artificial radio signals in space, Dr. Frank Drake's group listened to the sector of the Tau Ceti star. Clearly coded impulses were captured. Here, however, the Pentagon intervened, declaring that scientists had caught a transmission from a classified military radio station...

Despite the military's explanations, the scientists did not calm down. Astronomers conducted two more search programs - OZMA-2 and OZMA-3. And every time “there was something.” But endless debates about whether it is “artificial” or “natural” have led nowhere.

In the archives of researchers of so-called anomalous phenomena, one can also find a lot of interesting evidence on this topic. In 1929, for example, signals from “aliens” were caught not by radio telescopes, but by ordinary radio at a wavelength of 75 meters.

Someone who called himself Nikomo, for a long time, alternately different languages read out the text of the appeal of the Coalition Observer Detachment /CON/ to the inhabitants of the Earth. Nikomo reported that a gravitational cyclone was drifting in the vicinity of our galaxy cluster, capable of destroying life on all planets, and called on humanity to join the Coalition so that it could help the Earth prepare for a dangerous phenomenon.

If this was someone's joke, then a very talented and educated person. This message contained information known today only to a limited circle of specialists.

Something similar happened on November 27, 1977 in England, southwest of London. In an area of ​​about 120 square kilometers, there was a sudden disruption to television broadcasting. The image from the TV screens disappeared, and an unknown voice said that he was a representative of an extraterrestrial civilization, that humanity was following the wrong path, that earthlings needed to destroy the instruments of evil, and there was little time left for this...

The police, who were actively searching for the “alien,” loudly promised to soon present him to the public in court. And later, having not found anyone, she just threw up her hands in shame. London television specialists who participated in the investigation said that they could not even imagine how the joker managed to carry out his broadcast - the equipment required for this was too bulky and expensive. Of course, all this could be a clever hoax. But...

Suppose the unknown aliens moved from persuasion and warnings to active actions. Suppose someone learned that aliens were preparing to land on Earth. Suppose... And we tried to play this situation.

One of the Phenomenon experts called his police department: “Tomorrow the aliens start...” In response, without even listening to the end, they openly laughed. IN State Committee in emergency situations, we were advised with polite irony to put everything in writing. We have not tried to call the state security agencies, since we foresaw the reaction in advance. It turns out that we are defenseless against a possible alien attack?

After all, even if someone finds out about it in advance, no one will take such information seriously, except perhaps psychiatrists... “Alas, this is so,” says D. Azarov, a psychologist specializing in anomalous phenomena. “For some reason The prevailing point of view is that if aliens come to us, they will do so only in peace.

But ours own story teaches something completely different. Remember how the Spaniards once landed on the American continent. They were also convinced that they were bringing civilization to the wild Mayan tribes, implanting it with fire and sword. And, mind you, it didn’t bother the invaders at all that there were a pitiful handful of them against an entire people... Another reassuring myth is about our missiles, capable of protecting against any cosmic invasion.

For some reason, even smart people imagine it according to the scenario developed by H.G. Wells - balls /UFOs/ falling from space onto a moorland, monsters on tripods, armed with heat rays /blasters/... Primitive! If someone decides to conquer the Earth, they will act secretly and carefully. I can offer, as a joke, the hypothesis that aliens have already begun to conquer us.

Consider the following facts: A few decades ago, scientists Stermer and Van der Pol discovered a mysterious radio echo from signals sent into the sky, as if some body were reflecting them to Earth with different periods. And an expert on the problems of “EC” / extraterrestrial civilizations / R. Bracewell suggested that this is the “work of the hands” of an alien probe secretly orbiting our planet. Further research could neither confirm nor refute this idea.

But what if it's true? Let's imagine the possible further actions of the aliens who decided to conquer the Earth. Troops secretly land from the mother ship on "saucers" and set up several secret bases... Under the guise of people, aliens infiltrate key positions in earthly organizations in order to gradually, indirectly guide our civilization along the path they need.

At the same time, to be on the safe side, they must achieve a categorical ban on the publication of any information on unidentified flying objects. Those facts that do leak into the press must be subjected to official ridicule.

It would be nice to create a group at the Academy of Sciences that would explain UFO flights and other “miracles” associated with the activities of aliens by purely earthly reasons. It is also necessary to prohibit the development of programs like " Star Wars"so that people would not be able to use space weapons against external aggression. And it is better to eliminate the scientists who dealt with this topic (remember Sheldon's list!)...

Now look what happens. Just recently, enthusiasts of research into the UFO problem were harshly persecuted - they were ridiculed, fired from their jobs... Today, outwardly, everything has changed. But is this true? Of course, a flurry of articles about unidentified flying objects appeared in the press.

But... The majority of people (as if hypnotized) do not believe in UFOs, perceiving stories about them as some kind of “journalistic fiction”. Meanwhile, strange things are happening in the world. Humanity is literally changing before our eyes biological species. There are more and more so-called “contactees” who hear “otherworldly voices” and have phenomenal psychic abilities. Scientists attribute this to a change magnetic field Earth, which has noticeably decreased.

Academician V. Kaznacheev confirmed this effect in hypomagnetic chambers. People isolated from the external field using these chambers exhibited telepathic and other unusual abilities.

But who will guarantee that the planet’s magnetic field is changing? naturally? Sometimes I have serious doubts about this. Too many inexplicable events have been happening lately.

Why, for example, is there a “belt of madness” that envelops the Earth in a deadly ring? Judge for yourself - Korea, Vietnam, Afghanistan, Lebanon, Iraq, then Yugoslavia, Moldova, Georgia, Nagorno-Karabakh, Armenia, Tajikistan, Chechnya... Even in prosperous America, there was an outbreak of violence in Los Angeles, located in the same latitudinal zone. You will say that all these wars and conflicts are a political phenomenon.

But why then are they accompanied by earthquakes and other unusual natural phenomena? Why do “hot spots” clearly fit into a ring, as if some probe, flying around the planet in orbit, sows hostility, aggressiveness, and natural disasters?..

Why do our military, armed to the teeth against any existing and non-existent danger, show mysterious good-naturedness regarding possible alien aggression?

Why today there are no state or public mechanisms capable of promptly responding to reports of a possible escalation of alien aggressors to Earth?”

These are the questions that arise when analyzing the “Sheldon List” and the current situation. And, God forbid, that D. Azarov’s fantasy version really turns out to be fantasy!
