According to the State Border Committee, the body was located a few metres from the fence set up on the Latvian territory. Based on the nature of the traces left at the scene, the dead body was most likely moved from the adjacent territory through the fence. Moreover, a section of wire was removed from the border fence that could have been used to move the dead body of a refugee.

In order to establish all the circumstances of the incident, an investigative-operational group worked on the spot.

A day earlier, Latvian security forces ousted a group of foreigners, one of whom subsequently died. The State Border Committee also recalled that on December 19th, an Afghan citizen died as a result of hypothermia in the Latvian territory. On the night of December 12th-13th, not far from the border with Latvia, a Belarusian border patrol found a refugee whose brother also died on the Latvian side.
