In a revelation that could upend one of the most closely watched investigations of the year, confidential sources have confirmed that a second, privately ordered autopsy on Irena Zarina yielded a result that defies logic — traces of water were found in her lungs, despite reports that she died inside a sealed, dry train compartment.
The independent examination, commissioned quietly by a family representative, was conducted two weeks after the official autopsy. According to a forensic pathologist familiar with the findings, the results “suggest drowning — but in a place where drowning was impossible.”
“There’s no evidence of external immersion,” the source said. “No water at the scene, no leaks, nothing. Yet the lungs tell a different story.”
The report has reignited theories that Irena may have been moved post-mortem, or that her death occurred elsewhere before being staged on the train. Authorities have not publicly commented on the second autopsy, though officials privately admit it has “complicated an already fragile case.”
Investigators are now reexamining early evidence — including surveillance footage gaps, tampered timestamps, and unaccounted maintenance windows at the station that night.
“If the second autopsy is accurate,” said Detective Mira Alvarez, “then every assumption about the timeline is wrong.”
Medical experts note that certain toxins or chemical compounds can mimic drowning symptoms — but the lab’s early report references natural water intake, consistent with “asphyxiation caused by fluid aspiration.”
“That’s not contamination,” said one lab consultant. “That’s physiology.”
The disclosure of the report — never meant to reach the public — now raises the most haunting question of all:
If she drowned… where did it happen?
