According to Al Jazeera, Russian authorities have not identified a driver who died on Friday when a minibus carrying six people crashed through thin ice on Lake Baikal or confirmed reports that it was Yanukovich's son. The five passengers survived.
Yanukovich has lived in Russia since being toppled from power last year following months of protests against corruption and his decision to seek closer ties to Russia instead of the European Union.
