Russian oligarch Boris Berezovsky has died, a friend has confirmed.

The exiled businessman, who last year lost a multibillion-pound High Court fight with Chelsea Football Club owner Roman Abramovich, was found dead at his home in Surrey, England.

Lord Tim Bell, the advertising and PR executive, said he could confirm his death.

Reports said Mr Berezovsky had taken his own life.
