Berezovsky’s life a ‘roller-coaster’, claims daughter

The daughter of Russian oligarch Boris Berezovsky, who was found dead at his home, has paid tribute to her father, saying he was “an inspiration” to her and had a “joy for life”.

An inquest heard the 67-year-old was found lying on the floor of the bathroom at his home in Ascot, Berkshire, on Mar 23 with a ligature around his neck and cause of death was given as “consistent with hanging”.

His daughter, Arina Berezovsky, said in a statement released through Thames Valley Police: “I didn’t know my dad very well but what I am sure of is that he really loved his family and that he was always happy around his children and grandchildren.
