NEW CCTV has been released as cops hunt three men after an iconic drag queen was found dead.
Heklina, whose real name was Steven Grygelko, 55, was discovered dead by his friend on April, 3, 2023, at a flat in Soho, London.
In a fresh appeal, the Met Police have now issued CCTV of three men spotted at the property in the early hours of the morning.
The force urged them to contact the police with any information about Steven.
No official cause of death has been announced for the drag artist, who was originally from the United States.
A Met Police spokesperson said: “On the morning of Sunday, 3 April 2023, police were called by the London Ambulance Service to a residential property in Soho Square following reports of a man found unresponsive.
“The man was pronounced dead at the scene. He was later identified as 55-year-old Steven Grygelko.
“Steven’s death is being treated as unexpected and remains under investigation while officers continue to liaise with the coroner.”
Detective Chief Inspector Dean Purvis, from the Central West Command Unit, added: “Our thoughts are with Steven’s family and friends who still have a lot of unanswered questions about what happened to him.
“We know that the three men in the CCTV images were at the flat in the early hours of 3 April 2023.
“I am asking them to contact police. We need to establish what happened, and how Steven was when they left.
“If you recognise any of the men, I would encourage you to let us know who they are.”
