Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny died after he was allegedly poisoned by the Kremlin with the toxin from a poison dart frog, according to a joint statement by five European countries on Feb. 14.

The UK, Sweden, France, Germany, and the Netherlands announced their findings on Saturday after an analysis of samples from Navalny allegedly showed there was a presence of epibatidine in his system.
