Alexei Navalny dies from dart frog toxin poisoning

Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny died in prison after being poisoned with a deadly toxin from Ecuadorian dart frogs, believed to be administered by Vladimir Putin’s government. The poison, 200 times stronger than morphine, was confirmed by UK, Germany, Sweden, and the Netherlands. Navalny’s widow, Yulia Navalnaya, revealed the discovery at a Munich conference, with plans to submit findings to the OPCW. The Kremlin has not responded to the allegations.
