Vladislav Galkin was a Russian actor in theatre and cinema.

Death

Galkin was known to indulge in alcohol for some time before his death, and it definitely played a major role in his demise, thought until recently to be the only role. But, there is a new twist to the case. On 27 February, Galkin's body was found inside a rented apartment, and the cause of death was said to be due to cardiac arrest, with large amounts of alcohol involved.
However, on 14 July, Galkin's father (Boris Galkin) turned in new evidence to the Russian Militsia, which consists of the fact that $130,000 disappeared from the rented apartment Vladislav died in, and that Vlad had withdrawn a large amount of money from a bank shortly before his death. Vladislav's father is convinced that his son's "friends" had something to do with his death, especially if they knew how much money there is in the apartment. An interesting detail uncovered recently is that there were 2 glasses which had tomato juice in it at the kithcen counter near his body, the only juice that Vladislav was known for never drinking, he hated it with a passion.
Although the body showed no signs of physical violence, it does present a new direction, and revival of the case. Vladislav Galkin is very highly regarded by Russian people, as he was an excellent actor and basically part of Russian movie culture today, movies starring him becoming classics. His death was mourned by many, and now it seems that there is someone responsible for his death afterall, with the amount of money involved.
