Top Russian space scientist dies of mushroom poisoning

A senior scientist with Russia's space agency, Roscosmos, died after consuming inedible mushrooms. He was the head of rocket and space systems at RSC Energia, Russia's top spacecraft manufacturer. This incident comes after a recent crash of a Russian unmanned spacecraft on the moon.
The Russian unmanned spacecraft, Luna 25, crashed into the moon during a prelanding orbit. This was Russia's first lunar mission in 47 years.
The scientist's family reported that he had been picking and eating mushrooms for several years without incident. However, after eating the mushrooms in question, his health rapidly deteriorated and he passed away shortly after being admitted to the hospital.
