Bones find 'may be remains of last Tsar's heir'
The remains of the last tsar’s son and heir to the Russian throne, missing since the royal family was gunned down nine decades ago by Bolsheviks in a basement, may have been found, an archaeologist said.
Bones found in the remnants of a bonfire near Yekaterinburg, the city where Nicholas II and his wife and children were held prisoner and then shot in 1918, belong to a boy and a young woman roughly the ages of the tsar’s son, Alexei, and a sister whose remains have also never been found, a leading archaeologist said.
