"We have no reasons to suspect that the death did not occur naturally. However, we don't have any official results so therefore we can't make final statements.

STORYLINE:
A Bosnian Serb general convicted by United Nations judges of genocide in the 1995 Srebrenica massacre has died in his cell, the Yugoslav war crimes tribunal announced on Tuesday.
Zdravko Tolimir, 67, described as the "right hand" of Ratko Mladic, died on Monday night at the ICTY (International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia) Detention Centre in The Hague, the tribunal said in a statement.
The cause of death was not announced, although ICTY spokesperson Nenad Golcevshi said on Tuesday there was no reason to believe it was due to anything other than natural causes.
Golcevshi said Tolimir had spoken publicly about various "health issues" in the past.
The court said that local authorities "have commenced standard investigations as mandated under Dutch national law".
Tolimir was convicted and sentenced to life imprisonment in December 2012 of genocide and other crimes in the 1995 massacre by Bosnian Serb forces of some 8,000 Muslim men in Srebrenica, eastern Bosnia - Europe's worst mass killing since World War II.
Appeals judges upheld most of his convictions last April and confirmed his life sentence.
