A Russian cancer patient was declared dead and refused chemotherapy. A 28-year-old resident of Kaliningrad was confused with the person who died in the Northern Military District due to the same surname and date of birth. A man battling pancreatic cancer had his passport revoked, his accounts blocked and he was denied treatment even at a private clinic. Now he has to prove to the prosecutor's office and the investigative committee that he is alive in order to continue the fight against cancer.
