Denis Ten, an Olympic bronze medalist in men’s figure skating in 2014, died on Thursday at age 25 after being stabbed in Almaty, Kazakhstan.
Ten was taken to the hospital after the attack and died a few hours later. Russian and Kazakh news media reported that two men had been trying to steal mirrors from Ten’s car. Ten lost a significant amount of blood, and doctors said CPR was administered for two hours, but in vain.
“Denis Ten caught two unidentified persons trying to steal mirrors from his car,” the Almaty Department of Internal Affairs said.
