Ivan Pechorin, 39, was managing director of Putin's Far East and Arctic Development Corporation and had recently attended a major conference hosted by the Kremlin warmonger in Vladivostok.

He is the latest in a long line of senior officials linked to Russia's energy sector and the Kremlin to die in suspicious circumstances in recent months.

Pechorin fell off the side of a boat in the waters close to Russky Island near Cape Ignatiev, said Russian daily Komsomolskaya Pravda.

His body was found after a search lasting more than a day.

'Ivan's death is an irreparable loss for friends and colleagues, a great loss for the corporation,' an official statement  from the corporation read.

'We offer our sincere condolences to the family and friends.'

The corporation's former CEO Igor Nosov, 43, also died suddenly in February, reportedly from a stroke.
