According to Russian reports, her partner, who has not been named, found her dead hours after she went for a soak.
A preliminary investigation concluded that Victoria accidentally burned herself on scolding-hot bath water on the night of February 9.
The shock of the pain apparently made her to faint – and tragically she fell with her face right under the stream of boiling water coming from the tap.
She remained unconscious for several hours as the scorching water cascaded over her.
Exposure to the extreme temperatures over hours tragically killed her.
Her face was severely burned when she was discovered by her partner, who immediately called the emergency services.
However, reports also suggest some of Victoria’s relatives and friends do not believe the story of a tragic accident – and instead suspect her partner of foul play.
An investigation is ongoing, and it has turned up traces of illegal substances in the apartment.
The Investigative Committee for Krasnoyarsk Krai said: “According to preliminary data, a woman and her partner lived in the apartment.
“On the night of February 9, 2025, the man found the woman in a bathtub filled with hot water, with no signs of life.”
“According to available data, the cohabitants were using drugs.
“During the inspection, a presumably narcotic substance was found in the apartment.
“A forensic medical examination is currently being conducted to establish the exact cause of the woman’s death.
“The Achinsk Interdistrict Investigative Department is conducting a procedural check.”
According to Victoria’s friends and family, she was buried in a closed coffin because she was horribly disfigured by burns.
Her partner reportedly did not attend the funeral.
Another of Victoria’s friends said that she had “heart problems”, but it is not known whether this factor contributed to her death.
