Tigran Keosayan, a Russian director and host on the NTV network, is in a coma after experiencing clinical death, according to his wife, Margarita Simonyan, editor-in-chief of the state propaganda outlet Russia Today.
“I didn’t want to say anything, but since reporters have already started calling, I’ll write it myself,” Simonyan shared on Telegram. “As many people know, he has had very serious heart problems for a long time,” she added.
The Telegram channel Baza reported that Keosayan was hospitalized in late December.
In 2022, Keosayan was added to the E.U. sanctions list for “promoting anti-Ukrainian propaganda in Russian media.”
