Boris Berezovsky to be buried in London The businessman, 67, will be interred at Gunnersbury Cemetery rather than in his native Russia, said TV Rain, quoting a source close to the tycoon's family. A coroner's inquest, opened and closed last week found that the businessman, a passionate critic of the Kremlin since he fled to the UK in 2001 after being charged with fraud, had died from hanging in a bathroom at his home on March 23. Gunnersbury Cemetery, sometimes known as Kensington Cemetery, is situated close to the Cathedral of the Dormition, the main Russian Orthodox church in the city. Mr Berezovsky is expected to be buried near the grave of Russian philosopher Alexander Pyatigorsky, who died in 2009. Also buried in the cemetery is another exile, Prince Vsevolod Ivanovich, the last male member of the Romanov family born before the Bolshevik Revolution. Earlier this week, Mr Berezovsky's girlfriend, Katerina Sabirova, 23, revealed that the tycoon had written a letter to President Vladimir Putin asking forgiveness for his mistakes and requesting permission to return to Russia.
