Arkady Volozh, the other founder of Yandex, announced the sad news on the official company blog on July 28. “The changes in the blood were no longer compatible with life. He had to be given a chance to leave with dignity. The doctors turned him off yesterday, his heart stopped," Volozh wrote.
Early reports indicated that Segalovich had died on July 25, following the publication of another blogpost by Volozh. A friend of Segalovich since high school, Volozh was succinct: "Tonight, he left. It all happened too quickly and unexpectedly."
It was later revealed that Segalovich, in a coma and brain-dead since 1.30 am on Thursday, was still attached to life support."
