After the collapse of the USSR, in the vastness of the “great and mighty”, all sorts of psychics and sorcerers gained immense popularity. One of them was the sorcerer Yuri Longo, who conquered millions with just one look of his dark brown eyes. His whole life is a mystery, and they still argue about the causes of this man's death.
Illusionist or Magician?
People who have seen Yuri Longo at least once admired his activities and charisma. The appearance of the sorcerer conquered many women, and often caused fear in men. Longo's image was also quite unusual and defiant - he wore a black hoodie and bulky chains on his chest.
During the rituals, Yuri used various incense, which were rare in those days. The sorcerer became famous for hypnosis, telepathy, clairvoyance and telekinesis and for his enchanting shows, which were regularly shown on television channels.
He claimed that he revives the dead and communicates with people who have gone to another world. True, later the sorcerer admitted to reporters that all this was nothing more than a skillful game, and not a real miracle. But in the 90s, huge queues lined up near Longo's house. People who wanted to come to him for a reception believed in a miracle.

Who was he? Some believed that Yuri did have a gift. Skeptics, in turn, assured naive people that he was an artist, and all his actions were simulated. And this is not surprising, because Yuri studied at an art school and worked in a theater studio. In addition, he had a degree in psychology.
Conqueror of women's hearts
All activities of Yuri Longo were accompanied by scandals. When it became known that all the "revived dead" were a lie, people stopped believing him. And he began to conquer women's hearts. Journalists exaggerated rumors that the ex-sorcerer had a huge number of mistresses. And the sorcerer himself did not refute these rumors.
There is an opinion that the death of Yuri came as a result of numerous love affairs. But in fact, Longo spent the last years of his life with his beloved wife Elena. Although in public, Longo sought to provide women with all kinds of signs of attention, because for him it was an effective method of attracting customers.
Magic or fatal accident?
Yuri Longo did not have any serious illnesses or bad habits. He died in the prime of life - at the age of 56. Many said that this was a punishment for sinful engagement in magic, and someone assured that the fault was a series of troubles and scandals in which he became a participant.
The first of them was associated with Grigory Grabovoi. This man also positioned himself as a magician, because he claimed that he would be able to resurrect the children who died in Beslan. Longo did not believe the words of Gregory, as a result of which he called him a cynic and a liar. The death of Yuri came in the midst of this scandal. Some journalists argued that it was Grabov who corrupted the sorcerer and the conqueror of women's hearts.
The reason for the second big scandal was Longo's claim that Viktor Yushchenko died after being poisoned with dioxin, and that the Orange Revolution in Ukraine was spearheaded by a double. It was rumored that these statements by the sorcerer did not go unnoticed by the Ukrainian special services.
The real cause of death
In fact, Yuri Longo suffered a heart attack in 2006. He was admitted to the hospital. The sorcerer, unfortunately, left the institution, because he felt better.
After some time, Yuri's health deteriorated again. He did not go to the hospital, but called his best friend Nikas Safronov. A day later, Longo died. The cause of death was an aortic aneurysm. The famous magician and wizard was buried in Moscow at the Vostryakovsky cemetery.
Despite the large number of versions about Longo's death, its real reason turned out to be simple and commonplace - Yuri refused the services of doctors. If he stayed in the hospital and underwent the entire course of treatment, the likelihood of death would be minimized.
