Alexander Perepilichnyy DODGY seafood may have killed a wealthy Russian whistleblower, an inquest heard.
But experts could not rule out deliberate poisoning as the cause of Alexander Perepilichnyy’s death.
The 44-year-old died near his home in Weybridge, Surrey, in 2012.
The night before, he had been in Paris eating sushi with secret girlfriend Elmira Medynska, 28.
She said he had sent a bad prawn dish back and later vomited.
Cardiologist Dr Peter Wilmshurst told the Old Bailey hearing Mr Perepilichnyy could have suffered “scombroid fish poisoning”.
He said: “If you cannot find other reasons, that becomes the number one suspect.” The inquest continues. ■■Yulia Skripal had a “breakdown” after her boyfriend failed to answer her call as she recovered from poisoning, Russian media claims.
