Russian opposition leader Alexey Navalny was poisoned with a deadly toxin found in the skin of Ecuador dart frogs, the UK’s foreign office said on Saturday.
The toxin — epibatidine — was found in samples from Navalny’s body and “highly likely resulted in his death,” according to a statement issued by UK Foreign Secretary Yvette Cooper at the Munich Security Conference.
