Police have found the body of a woman 'buried alive with only her head above the ground'.

The victim was left to die a week ago in a forest near Russian city of St Petersburg.

Her body had several 'small wounds' on her head and has been sent for an autopsy to determine her exact cause of death.

A man walking in the forest discovered the remains, police said.

Reports from the 2020 investigation indicate the following:
  • Cause of Death: Forensic evidence suggests the woman died because her head was ravaged by wild animals while she was still alive and trapped in the ground. [1]
  • Immobilization: Investigators believe she was buried up to her neck while still alive and was physically unable to free herself when the animals began their attack. [1]
  • Time of Exposure: It is estimated she may have been in the ground for about one week before her body was found, indicating a slow and agonizing death from exposure and the subsequent animal attack. [1]
The specific nature of her burial—buried alive in a sitting "lotus position"—led Russian police to investigate whether this was a ritualistic or religious-based crime. [1]

There have been no arrests and the woman has not been identified.
