Rasputin Assassinated
On December 30 of 1916 Rasputin was killed by a group of nobles who wished to end his opinion in the royal family. His assassination consisted of an attempted poisioning in his food and wine, being shot, beaten, then thrown into a frozen river. It is now shown after many years that yes he was physically hurt by the gun shots and marks from being beaten, but being thrown in the river was his ultimate reason of passing due to water found in the lungs from drowning. -
