to contribute so I hope you have the correct link.

"UA9YAB, Alexander A. "Sasha" Vedernikov, passed away August 11th.  It
is not exactly clear what the cause was as there are reports it was a
heart attack while swimming and another saying he drowned.  Alexander
was 50 years old and was on a DXpedition to Margarita Island, YV7/UA9YAB
and Los Roques, YV5/UA9YAB at the time.  A friend describes him as a
"skilled and experienced operator on phone and CW."  He was known for
his operations from various former ex-Soviet republics and Mongolia.
His home in Biysk was near the Mongolian border.  He was active in
January as XU7AEQ in Cambodia.  Left behind are his wife Natalia and two
children, the youngest only three years old.  At QRZ.RU donations are
being accepted to raise the $30,000 to have his body returned to Russia
from Venezuela."
