      The death of a woman from Serov, who was found dead on a balcony in a rented apartment in Yekaterinburg, is not of a criminal nature. This was reported to "KP-Ekaterinburg" by a source in the emergency services.

      The woman was staying in the rented apartment with a man, the publication claims.

      "No unlawful actions were committed against the woman. The death is not criminal," the "KP-Ekaterinburg" insider clarified.

      The body of 45-year-old Serov resident Svetlana Shatalina was discovered on January 16. Three weeks earlier, on December 26, she told her 18-year-old son Nikita that she would go to Yekaterinburg for a few days for an appointment with a cosmetologist to get permanent makeup. But she then stopped answering her phone and did not return home.

      Earlier, the media, without any details, reported that the woman's body showed signs of a violent death.
