Russian propagandists claimed that Paul Urey died from stress andillness. We got his body today.

The cause of Paul Urey's death will be confirmed. The UK Embassy has been made aware.

With full responsibility, I can say that Urey's death was a violent one. A human can't survive that. Photographs of Urey's body leave no doubt that he had been tortured.

According to Lubinets, Urey's torture and murder is a war crime which will be used in the tribunal against the Russian political and military leadership.

On 15 July, Daria Morozova, the DPR's "ombudsman" who deals with prisoners' rights, wrote on Telegram that Urey died due to illness and stress.

On 29 April, the co-founder and Chief Operating Officer of the non-profit Presidium Network said that Urey had been taken into custody at a checkpoint in Zaporizhzhia Oblast, in southern Ukraine.

Urey appeared on Russian state television in handcuffs. He said things that were in line with Russian propaganda.
