However, it was announced that after a while, shamans gave Subbotin a painkiller mixture prepared from valerian plant to Subbotin, who had a heart attack, but Subbotin was found dead in the morning by two shamans named Alexey Pindyurin and Kristina Teikhrib.
According to the first determinations, the exact cause of death of Alexander Subbotin was recorded as cardiac arrest.
