Was ‘Fired’ Russian General’s Body Found in Moscow River?

False. The claim that Lapin's body was discovered in a river is unsubstantiated. The original reports were based on a misleading tweet and were later retracted. While there are numerous and, so far, unverified reports, including those from by pro-Kremlin outlets, suggesting that Lapin resigned or was removed from his command, there is no evidence to suggest that he is no longer alive.
