City police deputy chief found dead in Melitopol on Thursday

City police department confirmed this information to an Ukrinform's correspondent.

"Until now, Major Oleksandr Bordyuh had been on medical leave. The cause of his death is unknown. A crime investigation team is working at the scene in the residence near the Sea of Azov where the police official lived," said a police representative.

As a reminder, this is the second mysterious death of the city official over the past 24 hour period. On February 25, mayor of Melitopol Serhiy Valter was found hanged at his residence. Melitopol is a city, 90 kilometers south of Zaporizhzhya, regional capital.
