<h6><strong>Public records indicate Tigran Svadjian is deceased as of Oct., 2002</strong></h6>
<p>Svadjian was last heard from in the fall of 2002 when his attorney notified prosecutors that he would be traveling to Moscow because his mother was sick, according to court papers.<br />
The U.S. Embassy was notified on Oct. 24, 2002 that Svadjian had died of pneumonia and his remains were cremated.<br />
California prosecutors dismissed the indictment in 2013 although they were unable to confirm his death.</p>
