Reported by AI Image generated by AI
A medical examiner's report has concluded that American chess grandmaster Daniel Naroditsky died from a probable cardiac arrhythmia caused by undiagnosed systemic sarcoidosis, with methamphetamine and kratom use as contributing factors but not lethal. The 29-year-old was found dead in his Charlotte, North Carolina, home on October 19, 2025, after a sudden death without signs of distress. The ruling addresses speculation amid prior cheating allegations against him by former world champion Vladimir Kramnik.
