A police officer in Tomsk died after undressing and walking naked through the city's freezing streets.
The unidentified man left for his stroll after suffering a blow to the head during a night out and being driven home by an acquaintance.
"A female friend of his wife offered to take him home [after his head injury], and he agreed," a source in the local security forces told Interfax. "The woman dropped the man off outside his house. … He entered the building, got completely undressed and then went outside."
The man was hospitalized after his nocturnal ramble and underwent multiple amputations before dying of his injuries. An investigation into the incident is ongoing.

A Message from The Moscow Times:
Dear readers,
We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."
These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work "discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership." We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.
We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.
Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly starting from just $2. It's quick to set up, and every contribution makes a significant impact.
