Alexei Navalny’s family is denying him permission access to his body for the third day, his team said, adding that his mother was «not allowed» into the morgue where his remains may be kept.

Russia's prison service said Navalny died after a walk in his Arctic prison on Friday.

His mother Lyudmila left for a remote colony on Saturday, but has still not received access to her son's body.

“Alexey’s mother and his lawyers arrived at the morgue early in the morning. They were not allowed inside. One of the lawyers was literally pushed out. When employees were asked whether Alexei’s body was there, they did not answer,” said Kira Yarmysh, Navalny’s spokeswoman.

On Monday, Russian investigators told the late opposition leader’s mother and his lawyers that an investigation into his death in prison has been “extended,” Ms. Yarmysh added.

“It is unknown how long this will last. The cause of death has not yet been determined. They lie, waste time and don’t even hide it,” said the agency’s interlocutor.

Navalny was in the penal colony IK-3 in the city of Kharp beyond the Arctic Circle. The Yamalo-Nenets district is approximately 1,200 miles from Moscow.

The charismatic Navalny was Vladimir Putin's main political opponent.

His death occurred three years after being imprisoned in the Far North, in one of the harshest prisons in Russia. His health had been deteriorating for several months.

Putin has not yet commented on the death. The Kremlin said on Monday that the West's reaction with condemnation is unacceptable, but statements from the United States and Europe will not harm the Russian president.

«We consider it absolutely unacceptable to make such, well, frankly speaking, offensive statements,» he said Kremlin press secretary Dmitry Peskov.

“These statements, of course, cannot cause any harm to the head of our state.”
