Woman, 18, ‘dies of broken heart’ weeks after her boyfriend was stabbed by her ex-lover in jealous rage
A WOMAN has died of a "broken heart" just weeks after her boyfriend was stabbed by her ex-lover in a jealous rage.
Sofia K, 18, who was in the centre of a love triangle between two postgraduate students was found dead in her flat.
The teen watched in horror last month as her ex Denis Miller, 22, huggedrival Denis Gubarev, 26, “to make up”- but instead stabbed him repeatedly with a knife.
His classmate Gubarev died in her arms as blood gushed from his wounds at Novosibirsk State Technical University in Russia.
And just weeks later Sofia K has also been found dead.
BROKEN HEART
Initially, police believed the death may have been suicide but no traces of self-harm were found on her body.
While it has not been confirmed, forensic experts are trying to establish whether she died of a heart attack caused by the stress of the romantic saga.
A source at her university said: “Doctors and forensic experts tend to think that it was a heart failure due to the acute stress she experienced.
“Some additional forensic analysis taking a long time is underway, and the results will be reported later.
“But so far the main version is not suicide, but a heart attack.
“She just could not stand it.”

A law enforcement source confirmed to Komosmolskaya Pravda newspaper that no evidence of suicide had been discovered.
"She was found without visible signs of violent death or traces of vomit."
Her body was released for the funeral.
Miller was held after the knifing by the university entrance in a citizen’s arrest by nearby utility workers and then detained by Russian national guards.
Sofia, who desperately tried to save her wounded lover, had swapped one Denis for the other – both psychology postgraduates – three months ago, which made Miller “crazy”, according to reports at the time.
Denis Gubarev’s mother Ekaterina told of her shock at Sofia’s death, saying his son’s girlfriend had supported her in her grief after he was killed.
"I cannot speak,” she said.
“Sofia was by my side at my son's funeral, and now she is not with us anymore."
It emerged that high-flier Miller had taught a group of undergraduates and quizzed his class on “whether he should kill his love rival”.
Despite the strange question during a class, no-one reported him to the authorities.
A female student admitted: "A few days before, he told the students about his plans to kill his rival.
“He said he was not afraid of anything, since life had lost its meaning for him, but he would deal with his rival, and was not afraid of punishment.”
A few days before, he told the students about his plans to kill his rival.
A witness to the killing said: ”The young man was lying on his side, unconscious, and next to him was a girl in a state of shock.
“She sobbed, held his hand, stroked him.
“She tried to save him.
“The suspect was being held by the National Guard officers.”
Miller was “in handcuffs and smiling”.
Later grieving mother Ekaterina came face to face with the self-confessed killer in custody, she said.
“He had a look as if he really wanted to see our grief, some kind of hopelessness in our eyes.
“I saw that this feeling was important to him, that he had hurt us.
“There was no remorse at all.”
She said at the time: "My son really loved this girl.
“They spent all their time with each other.”
Miller faces up to 15 years in jail if convicted of the killing to which he has already confessed.
A student who knew all three in the love triangle said: "It will be very hard for Denis now, to be in jail and know that Sofia has also died."
