Followup: Beware The Orthodox!

Original post here.

The body of the artist has been found.

BERLIN (AP) -- Berlin police have found a body that is probably that of a missing Russian artist who had been condemned by the Orthodox Church for an exhibit in her homeland. The death was an apparent suicide, police said Friday.

Anna Mikhalchuk, who moved to Berlin in November, has been missing for three weeks. She created a stir in Russia with an 2003 exhibition that the church considered blasphemous, and was tried and acquitted by a Moscow court on charges of inciting religious hatred.

Police said a body found Thursday in a section of the Spree River running through central Berlin is "in all probability" that of Mikhalchuk.



"Apparent suicide."
