Andrei Panin's death case can be addressed by his director.

Andrey Panin's family, friends, and fans will gather on March 12 for his funeral at the Chekhov Moscow Art Theatre. The service will commence at 11 am. The location of the funeral, as well as the decision to hold a civil ceremony, were announced by Gennady Rusin, the theatre's director.

The theatre has been the centre of Panin's professional life for many years. It is where he spent countless hours rehearsing and performing, leaving an indelible mark on the Russian theatre scene.

In the days leading up to his passing, Panin took precautions to protect his loved ones from any potential illness. He gathered his scripts and left his apartment, a move that now seems prophetic.

Reports have suggested that Panin met with an accident, allegedly stumbling and hitting his head. Forensic investigations revealed signs of blows on his deceased body, adding a sombre note to the already tragic circumstances.

However, the exact nature of Panin's illness and the primary version of his death remain unclear. Rusin has emphasised the need for official permission from the Investigative Committee before disclosing further details. The official confirmation of Panin's cause of death was received by his wife before the details were made public.

The primary version maintains that Panin's death was an unfortunate accident. Yet, the absence of concrete information has sparked speculation and rumours, with some reports suggesting that Panin may have been killed. Rusin has clarified that no such reports have been substantiated, and no new information has been provided to support these claims.

As the theatre community and the public prepare to bid farewell to the talented actor, Panin's body will be laid to rest at Troyekurovskoye Cemetery. His legacy will live on, not just in the memories of those who knew him personally, but also in the countless performances he gave on stage.

In these trying times, the theatre will serve as a sanctuary for those who wish to remember and celebrate Panin's life, and his indelible contributions to Russian theatre. The funeral will undoubtedly be a poignant reminder of the fragility of life and the power of art to heal and unite.
