The blockade woman who performed the operation on herself died in the Leningrad region

Three weeks after urgent hospitalization in Vyborg, a 90-year-old resident of besieged Leningrad, Klavdia Petrova, died. The cause of death has not yet been established.

“Grandma is dead. The autopsy was today, so the reason has not yet been officially announced to us, – the relatives told the KP-Petersburg newspaper. – But first, she died from an underlying disease, that is, from cancer. The operation most likely did not affect her. Tests for coronavirus have already been negative. <...> We were not allowed to talk to her before we died, either by phone or in person. “

Previously, at home, she was forced to perform an operation on herself. A woman in the last stage of cancer had to cut her stomach with a kitchen knife without waiting for medical help, as she developed dropsy – a lot of fluid accumulated in the abdominal cavity.
