After separation drama with his wife: basketball star lies dead in front of the house entrance

Moscow - The separation from his ex-wife, Ukrainian singer Anna Sedokova (42), was extremely difficult for him, and now basketball star Janis Timma (32) is dead. The Latvian international was found lifeless in front of a house entrance in the center of Moscow on Tuesday morning.

This was reported by several media outlets in Russia. His cell phone is said to have been lying next to his body with the words "Call Anna" written on it. It also allegedly had her number on it.

Tragic: The Ukrainian celebrated her birthday on Monday, posting pictures and videos throughout the day with numerous congratulations. Timma also sent her congratulations. Then, on Tuesday, the stark break.

Sedokova speaks in a black and white colored story with thickly swollen eyes, starts crying again and again and says: "I never understood how people can share something like this on Instagram and record stories in such a state, but I have a small child and I have to protect it and please, please, please do not carry any information to my child, please hold back, I can hardly handle the information myself, please protect my child," she pleads into the camera on Instagram .

It is allegedly not a natural death, but a suicide. Before the drama, Timma is said to have recordedseveral stories on social media to Anna Sedokova's songs and threatened to harm herself.

He accused her of exchanging love for money and threatened to commit suicide if she did not return to him.

Sedokova is the mother of two daughters and a son, all three of whom have different fathers. Particularly bad: Timma is already her second ex-husband, who died this year.

From 2004 to 2008, she was married to the Belarusian professional footballer Waljanzin Bjalkewitsch. She has a daughter with him. The ex-professional died of an aneurysm in August of this year.

Timma married her in 2020, and the two of them were still showing each other on Instagram in the summer of 2023.

But the marriage didn't last, the singer separated and filed for divorce. They were officially divorced on December 9. Since then, everyone has been very worried about the basketball star.

Kristaps Porzingis (29), NBA star of the Boston Celtics and also Latvian, could not believe his colleague had died: "No, please tell me it's not true."

A short time later, he wrote a second post that read: "Human connection is the cornerstone of our mental health. Please take care of each other."

Unfortunately, these words came too late for Timma.
