The man who died while chasing a volleyball into the East River may have slammed into a railing — sending him plummeting into the waters, his heartbroken brother and girlfriend told The Post Thursday.
Andrei Romanov, 36, a Google sales engineer, likely didn’t intentionally dive into the river at Domino Park in Williamsburg Wednesday night, according to his brother Mikhail Romanov.
“Perhaps the railing could be extended … Such small changes would certainly would have been worth it if they could have saved his life, given the enormous positive impact he had on so many people,” Mikhail Romanov said.

I wouldn't jump in the East River if I dropped the Hope Diamond in.
As Czar, Mikhail Romanov, he should be able to get a railing.

Perhaps he could have been a little smarter as well.
Perhaps we call this a draw and not try to blame an accident on a government agency to cash in on a relatives death.
