In the early 90s, difficult times came in our country, and the young man, realizing that art was in crisis, decided to become an entrepreneur in order to have a more or less solid material basis.
But he soon realized that the path he had left attracted him like a magnet, and he could not do anything about it. First, a graduate of the Institute of Culture worked as an artist of the Art Clinic cabaret, then director Andrei Moguchy offered him the position of director of the Formal Theater.

As you know, he felt unwell when the radio program “Trakhty-Barakhty Show” was broadcast, the host of which he was with Elena Batinova. The showman was called an ambulance, which, alas, could not help him …
Diet victim
Some experts confidently stated that the comedian passed away early because he was on an exhausting diet in order to lose extra pounds. One day, Roman, who did not have a fit figure, suddenly began to boast that he managed to lose as much as forty kilograms in three months. He claimed that now he feels great.
According to colleague Sergei Livadny, it was a sharp decrease in weight that was a real stress for the body, which ultimately led to death. He added that in recent times Roman was surrounded by "ignorant" nutritionists who pursued only the goal of profit, neglecting the health of their ward. At the same time, Livadny confidently declared that it was unlikely to prove the guilt of charlatans.
Also, in support of his position, Sergey refers to the opinion of the endocrinologist, 
which confirmed that rapid weight loss almost always provokes a stressful state, as a result of which metabolic processes are disturbed, hormonal disruptions begin and the cardiovascular system deteriorates. All this can lead to death.
One way or another, but other causes of the death of Roman Trachtenberg were also considered.
Bad habits
The opinion of a personal consultant-nutritionist, whose services the humorist most often used, diverges from the point of view of Sergey Livadny. She claims - Trachtenberg died due to the fact that he led a far from healthy lifestyle. The showman turned in time for help, otherwise an uncontrolled diet could lead to death even earlier. The nutritionist emphasized that Roman did not easily climb three steps, climbing stairs, which indicates problems with being overweight.
“In a few months, he managed to burn several tens of kilograms without harming his health, ” said Margarita Koroleva, who heads the Center for Aesthetic Medicine, where many movie and show business stars turn for help.
Drugs
Can we say that there are still reasons for the death of Roman Trachtenberg? Of course, yes.
Employees of the print publication Life.ru put forward, in turn, the version that the showman died due to drug use. In Trachtenberg’s pocket was found a hundred-dollar bill folded into a tube. This is the method used to relax those who take cocaine.
The evidence was sent for examination to finally verify whether Trakhtenberg was a drug addict. However, it subsequently became clear that no intoxicating substances were contained in the blood of the deceased.
Life failed …
Some of the comedian’s colleagues and acquaintances believe that Trachtenberg died because of a breakdown in his perception of the surrounding reality. Gradually, life became fresh and monotonous for him.
Roman was tired of trying on a mask of a clown, because in everyday life he was a serious person. But he could not change his image. Of course, Trachtenberg was not going to take his own life, but the thought of the freshness of his being still weighed him.
Doctors Version
Doctors put an end to the question of why Roman Trachtenberg died. The cause of death, in their opinion, is a malfunction of the heart, which experienced an additional load on the background of fatty hepatosis (replacing liver cells with fat cells). The heart muscle could not cope, and myocardial hypertrophy occurred, to which dilation of the left atrium was added.
The situation was complicated by the fact that the liver cells were covered with a layer of fat, so the body could not normally remove toxins that enter the body along with food and alcohol. An examination showed that the blood of the deceased contained a huge concentration of alcohol.
