Alex Chapman became interested after the poisoning in the UK of Sergei Skripal, the ex-employee of the GRU, and his daughter Yulia.

36-year-old Alex Chapman’s death certificate mentions the cause of death: a multiple drug overdose. He was found dead in a house in Southampton in May 2015, writes Daily Mail.

Chapman was married to an “90-60-90 agent” Anne Chapman, who was part of one of the largest spyware projects ever exposed during her time in New York. This happened thanks to the collaboration of Skrypal with British intelligence.

Members of the Chapman family insisted that there was nothing suspicious about his death, which occurred two years ago.

A family member said: “At that time it was very sad, but he died of natural causes. There was nothing suspicious about his death. His father did everything, and it was very sad, but I don’t want to go into details. ”

Alex Kevin's father confirmed to journalists that his son died. However, he did not give the diagnosis and give any details.

It is believed that relatives do not want to disclose a drug overdose, fearing that his death may be associated with many other suspicious deaths of those who spoke out against Russian President Vladimir Putin.

The former spy who, after being exposed, advanced in her career as a TV presenter and entrepreneur, is considered a supporter of Putin and has met him at home.

The couple met in 2001 in London. Anna was a student at the time. Alex described her as the most beautiful woman he had ever met.

Their spontaneous romance grew into a wedding that took place in 2002 in Moscow.

The wedding in Moscow was very modest. Alex had a suit for rent. There were no rings and guests, as the pair could not afford them. The wedding was attended by one witness. Despite the strange circumstances, the marriage was successful for several passionate years. It lasted for 4 of the year, the couple divorced in 2006. The last years before his death, Alex lived in Bournemouth (Dorset), where he died.

In 2010, Alex said that his wife had changed since the 4-year marriage and began to communicate with rich Russians in various circles.

“She interacted with a group of people who were very influential. She went to film premieres and became arrogant and obnoxious and kept talking about powerful people,” he said in an interview The Daily Telegraph in 2010 year.

Nevertheless, in 2011, Anna said that her marriage with Alex was based "solely on mutual love" and that she still remembers the days they spent with "real tenderness and nostalgia."

“I ask you not to look for secret motives where there are none. My love story with Alex was one of them. It was love at first sight, which only intensified every day,” said Anna. — We secretly got married in Moscow, and it was very romantic. Our parents knew nothing about our relationship and plans, and most likely they would not have approved of the marriage, although I was later close to Alex's mother and father."

After the exposure, it turned out that Anna’s father, Vasily Kushchenko, was a senior KGB agent.

According to the FBI, after the divorce, she moved to New York, where, with the help of the Russian government, which allocated a million dollars, founded an Internet business and engaged in espionage activities, becoming part of a group known as Illegal's Program.

As a “sex agent,” her job was to penetrate the circles of power in the US capital, Washington, and provide information to her Kremlin agents.

In July, 2010, she and another 9 Russian citizens were expelled from the States, in Vienna they were exchanged for 4 people who served time in Russia on charges of spying for the US, including Skripal, writes News.ru

The media wrote about Chapman as a “sex agent”, a “glamorous spy” and in every possible way emphasized her visual attractiveness. After returning home from New York, she worked at Fondservisbank as an adviser to President Alexander Volovnik on investments and innovations. Erotic photos of Chapman appeared in magazines Maxim, "Heat" and Playboy. She also worked in the Young Guard of United Russia, where she was involved in the patriotic education of youth.

In January 2011, the ex-spy became the host of the TV program “Secrets of the World with Anna Chapman” on the REN-TV channel. In February of the same year, Chapman registered her name as a trademark with Rospatent. In 2014, she launched her own women's clothing brand.
