 In January 1605 Godunov’s government troops in battle near Dobrynychi defeated the imposter “false Dmitry”, who with his troops remains escaped to Putivl.

 

On April 13th 1605 Boris Godunov seemed fun and healthy, ate a lot and with appetite. Then he climbed the tower and was observing the Moscow. Soon after he went down he started to feel bad. Doctor was called, but tsar was feeling even worse.  He lost consciousness and passed away soon. He was 53.

 

Per anonymous English ambassador report: Tsar Boris Godunov death was unexpected and it did happened under very strange circumstances. After just two hours after the dinner. During the dinner his personal doctors were watching for tsar. But  he got soon bad feeling and strong stomach pain.

 


In fact since Godunov death Russia entered to the infamous times called “the time of troubles”.
