Less than a month ago, Alexey celebrated his 30th birthday. The deceased left behind a small daughter.
A Russian football player was found dead on a beach in Sochi. The details of his death are shrouded in mystery. The young guy passed away in the prime of his life, and it is still unclear what happened to him.
People are at a loss as to why Alexey died?
Was wearing clothes
On the morning of November 7, reports appeared on social networks and the media of the Krasnodar Territory that the body of a man was found on the Chaika beach in Adler. He was discovered by passersby who called an ambulance and the police. Law enforcement officers who arrived at the scene found no signs of violent death in the deceased.
At the same time, questions arose almost immediately. Doctors determined that the man had drowned, however, as regional media noted, he was dressed and did not intend to swim. Later, the police found out the identity of the drowned man. It turned out to be Alexey Lesin, a football player from Chuvashia who came to the tournament in Sochi.
Where did the backpack go?
It is preliminary known that Alexey, shortly before his death, was walking with his team in Adler. The athletes entered the bar, but Lesin was not allowed in – he was wearing shorts, which did not comply with the dress code of the establishment. Alexey decided to have a bite to eat elsewhere, and then went for a walk along the seashore. What happened next is unknown, but a few hours later the man was found dead.
The father of the deceased football player, Sergei Lesin, told reporters that his son had a backpack with things and documents. They were not there, and where they went is a mystery. Lesin Sr. also added that Alexey did not experience any health problems.
There is a version that the football player stumbled and fell into the sea, where he was sucked into a whirlpool. The criminal nature of the death is also considered, despite the absence of visible injuries. Investigators are now looking into the case.
Coach and young father
Alexey Lesin was born and raised in Cheboksary. The guy played football since childhood, but never built a professional career, limiting himself to performing at the amateur level. Alexey’s track record included Cheboksary “Wings”, “Dynamo”, “Chuvashia” and “Cheboksary”, as well as “Khimik-August” from the village of Vurnary. Lesin played at the level of the Volga zone of the third division until 2019.
The main activity of the deceased was coaching – he worked with his father in one of the Cheboksary schools. Alexey also played football and futsal at the regional level, and often went to tournaments in Kazan, where he was considered one of the brightest players.

His team advanced from the group to the playoffs, but lost in the 1/32 finals to the “Department of Mechanized Works” from Elista. Just a few days before his death, Lesin commented on the tournament layouts for the Delina press service.
It is known that Alexey was married and raised a three-year-old daughter. Last month, on October 11, the footballer celebrated his 30th birthday.
Lesin’s funeral will take place on November 12 in his native Cheboksary. While relatives mourn the loss, law enforcement officers will have to find out what caused the young man’s death. Now there are more questions in this matter than answers.
