Belarusian tennis sensation Aryna Sabalenka has broken her silence following the tragic death of her former boyfriend, Konstantin Koltsov, whose untimely demise has been labeled an ‘apparent suicide’ by authorities.

In an emotional post on her Instagram story, Sabalenka expressed her profound grief, stating, “Konstantin’s death is an unthinkable tragedy, and while we were no longer together, my heart is broken.” She appealed for privacy for both herself and Koltsov’s family during this challenging period.
The circumstances surrounding Koltsov’s death remain shrouded in mystery, with speculations arising about his state of mind prior to the tragic incident.

Meanwhile, insights from Koltsov’s ex-wife, Julija Mikhailova, shed light on the potential circumstances leading to his demise. Mikhailova suggested that Koltsov may have been under the influence of alcohol, pointing to the discovery of liquor bottles in his hotel room. However, she refuted notions of premeditated intent, emphasizing that there were no apparent signs of distress in Koltsov’s recent activities.
Authorities continue to investigate Koltsov’s death, ruling out foul play but leaving lingering questions unanswered. While the legal proceedings unfold, Mikhailova is left to grapple with the aftermath, focusing on supporting their three children through this profound loss.
