AU.S. Embassy staffer has been found dead in Ukraine's capital, according to local media.
The body of the unnamed embassy attaché was found Tuesday at Kyiv's Hilton Hotel, online newspaper Strana UA reported Wednesday, citing law enforcement sources.
Ukrainian news outlet New Voice (NV), citing unnamed sources, also reported that the attaché's body was found at the city's Hilton Hotel on Tuesday.
U.S. State Department spokesperson Matthew Miller later confirmed the death, saying during a Wednesday press conference that a U.S. government employee who had been working in Kyiv.
"I hate to even bring this up—but I know sometimes conspiracies theories spin out of control—that it is our understanding that he died of natural causes, and there's no sign of foul play," Miller said.
News of the death comes more than two years into Russia's war with Ukraine. Since Russia launched its invasion on February 24, 2022, the U.S. has provided the country with about $51.2 billion in military aid.
NV said that there were no signs of bodily injury and that the hotel room's door was closed from the inside.
"No autopsy was performed—the body was taken by the U.S. Embassy. It is known that the man had high cholesterol levels," NV reported.

You may be on to something there. But I don't think high cholesterol alone would cause a heart attack. Hells Bells, I have high cholesterol. So does 90% of the population here. Too many hamburgers and coca cola. High cholesterol doesn't mean a damned thing.
"The door was closed from the inside". How the hell do they know which side the door was closed from? A closed door is a closed door. It can be closed from either side and no one can tell the difference.

I don't take anything either. The Dr wants me to but I told him I didn't care if it was and refused to take it. He wanted me on blood pressure meds too and I told him no. Every time I go in, it's a little high but every time I take it at home it's fine. I'm an old man and alone now. My mate died 8 years ago and I don't give a rats a## at this point. The world has turned into a cesspool and I'm ready whenever the Lord is.
He wants me on Metformin too and I told him no on that as well.
