Navalny's death certificate, according to his supporters, said he died of natural causes.
The funeral and burial of Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny will take place on Friday in Moscow, according to his spokesman, after efforts to find a room where his supporters could say goodbye to him failed.

She advised everyone to arrive early.
He revealed that Navalny, who died in an Arctic penal colony on February 16, would be buried at the Borisovskoye cemetery.
His allies have accused President Vladimir Putin of assassinating him because the Russian leader allegedly could not tolerate the idea of Navalny being freed in a possible prisoner swap.
The Kremlin, which labels Putin's staunch critic and his supporters as U.S.-backed extremists, has denied state involvement in his death and said it is unaware of any agreement to release Navalny before his death.
Navalny's death certificate, according to his supporters, said he died of natural causes, Reuters reported.
His mother accused authorities of trying to blackmail her into holding a private funeral for her son by initially withholding his body, a claim the Kremlin called absurd.
Navalny's allies had been looking for a hall to host his supporters at a farewell ceremony, but said Tuesday they had been denied everywhere.
