Joseph Stalin's reign as supreme leader of the USSR ended upon his death on 5 March 1953. His death was a result of a major stroke on 1 March 1953 which brought his death in the next few days. Later analysis in 2003 suggests Stalin had ingested a powerful rat poison, warfarin, that predisposes the victim to a hemorrhagic stroke which sums up his death as a possible murder.
