Rasputin still was not dead at this point, so he was clubbed by the nobles, wrapped into a sheet with his hands and feet tied and thrown into the icy Neva River. He was assassinated by a group of aristocrats led by members of the royal family, the Grand Duke Dmitry Pavlovich and Prince Felix Yusupov. There are many legends about his death, but the most accepted story seems to be the following: Rasputin was invited to Yusupov's palace, where he ate and drank food and wine laced with cyanide.
