Abstract
The article considers the problems of implementation of the principle of presumption of innocence at the termination of the criminal case in connection with death of the accused. The authors concluded that the termination of the criminal case against the deceased does not contradict the principle of presumption of innocence. However, it is necessary to conduct full and comprehensive investigation. The procedure for criminal proceedings after the death of persons subject to criminal prosecution should serve as a tool to protect the rights and interests of stakeholders.
