"Russian oligarch and Kremlin critic Boris Berezovsky was found lying on his bathroom floor with a piece of material around his neck and the same material on a shower rail, an inquest into his death heard today.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;The 67-year-old was found in his mansion in Ascot, west of London, on March 23.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;A post-mortem examination found his death was consistent with hanging, but toxicology tests are being carried out and it will be several weeks before the results are known.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;At the opening of the inquest, Detective Inspector Mark Bissell of Thames Valley Police said Berezovsky was found with a “ligature around his neck and a piece of similar material on the shower rail above him”.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Although the post-mortem found no evidence of a violent struggle, Bissell said the involvement of a third party “cannot be completely eliminated as tests remain outstanding”.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;The inquest at Windsor Coroner’s Court was opened and adjourned.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&amp;nbsp;In their first public response to the death, Berezovsky’s daughter Anastasia Berezovskaya said on March 27 he was not a “typical parent” but described him as an “extraordinary” man."
