										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="font-weight: 400;">At the age of 54, Robert Botoš, known as Romana King Robert I, died on Sunday evening. Information about his death was published on the social network by former member of parliament and Košice city councilor Otto Brixi.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">Botoš had recently been suffering from serious health problems. In early February, he underwent surgery at the East Slovak Institute of Heart and Vascular Diseases (VÚSCH). Although doctors subsequently released him for home treatment, his condition at home became more complicated.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">There have been numerous articles about his death in the Slovak press.</p>
