No foul play in death of State Duma lawmaker - investigators.

MOSCOW, July 29 (Itar-Tass) - Experts have not found any hallmarks of
crime in the death of State Duma lawmaker Viktor Ilyukhin (Communist
faction), an official at the Investigative Committee department for the
Moscow region, which conducted a pre-investigation check, told Itar-Tass
on Thursday.
Viktor Ilyukhin was found dead at his dacha in Moscow's Ramensky
district on March 19. A pre-investigation check was launched then.
Ilyukhin's colleagues doubted the cause of death and demanded a thorough
investigation.
"According to a forensic examination, he died of acute myocardial
infarction. The check found no evidence of violent death, so the
investigator decided not to initiate criminal proceedings due to the
absence of the event of crime," the SK said.
Ilyukhin, 62, worked at a prosecutor's office from 1975. He worked his
way through from an investigator at a district prosecutor's office in the
Penza region to deputy head of the main investigation department of the
USSR Prosecutor General's Office. He was senior aide to the USSR
prosecutor general from 1989. On November 4, 1991, he opened a criminal
case against USSR President Mikhail Gorbachev and two days later he was
relieved of his duties. He landed a job of observer at the newspaper
"Pravda." In December 1993, he won a seat in the 1st Duma and has been a
lawmaker since.
In the incumbent Duma, he was a deputy chairman of the committee on
security. In 1998, Ilyukhin led an opposition movement in support of the
army, defense sector and military research.
