CONCLUSION :


Based on the study of the corpse gr. Zolotarev, 37, I believe that his death came as a result of multiple fractures of the ribs on the right with internal bleeding into the pleural cavity in the presence of a low temperature effect. The above multiple rib fractures in Zolotarev with the presence of bleeding in the pleural cavity arose during life and are the result of the impact of a large force on the area of ​​the chest Zolotarev at the time of its fall, compression or discarding. Bodily injuries of soft tissues in the head of Zolotarev, as well as the presence of "bath skin" in the area of ​​the fingers, upper and lower extremities, are posthumous changes in the corpse of Zolotarev, which was recently found before it was found in the water.
The death of Zolotarev is violent.

Where was the compass?

I have some difficulty interpreting this text.  Logically, we work down the layers of trousers. The compass phrase, read out of context, indicated to me that the compass was in his hand. Here, this phrase appears rather like "left hand side" of something (underwear?) to me. Then, the compass would have been buried deep in his clothing when he died. Anybody has more insight as to what this really means?

That's a really good point.  Now that I read it in that context.....  it could go either way. 

I do find it hard to believe he was clutching tue compass within his hand at the time of death.

One thing is for sure: No matter what overall scenario we might see as the more probable, it makes no sense that he would try to use a compass at the moment of his evidently violent death.

I agree. Would be quite unusual and therefore probably more widely known.

My feeling is that the Russian text is clear, and this little ambiguity is an artifact of translation.
