The Kuban editor was found in her bedroom and her 52-year-old former husband Andrey Gubatiyka's corpse was found close by.

“No visible injuries were found during the examination of the bodies,” said a spokesman for the Russian Investigative Committee, which is probing the deaths.

The former couple shared a daughter, 15, and an adult son.

“The preliminary cause of death is poisoning by an unknown substance,” said a report by her own channel.

A fragment of a plastic bag with a "powdery substance" was reportedly found in the TV chief’s private house in Krasnodar city.
