Looks like the government of Russia caused another ‘Sudden Death’. Glad that doesn’t happen here...

What next? “So and so was beaten to death by the front door trying to enter the building”? “Buildings” in Russia seem to be very dangerous!

““Buildings” in Russia seem to be very dangerous!”

And more so in the winter when the district heating system starts blowing a geyser in the street!

No heat for a week or two only kills the old one and the drunks and druggies and the... AIDS carriers.

Too bad the elevators do not work and they have to carry the dead down the stairs or maybe out a back window?

Who would notice?

I know it's in vogue to blame every high profile "death by falling" on Putin, but notwithstanding it doesn't even make sense for there to be a connection on that regard (as he last played for the St. Petersburg team in 2021, so he wasn't even playing for a Russian team), there's probably a more mundane explanation: "It was not immediately clear why Timma may have committed suicide, but the emergency official told TASS that a phone containing his “final wish” was found beside his body. An unnamed source told the Ren TV channel that the phrase “call Anya” appeared on his phone. Anya is the nickname of Russian-Ukrainian pop star and Timma’s ex-wife Anna Sedokova, who announced this fall that she had filed for divorce after four years of marriage and celebrated her 42nd birthday on Monday."

Falling from a building seems a peculiarly Russian way to go these days, that you have to admit. And common sense says this was a murder.

Who knows why this fellow was done away with. Maybe it was a purely private dispute.

It was his ex wife’s birthday, and everyone was hating him for playing pro-ball on Russian teams because he was Lithuanian.
Idiotic to think Putin murdered him. Putin would like people from Europe doing what he did.

Sooooo... a Lithuanian plays for Russians teams. Takes all kinds of abuse for it from Lithuania (who still holds parades for Nazi SS “veterans”. And dies on his ex-wife’s birthday which probably hit him hard.

And that is somehow Putin murdered the guy? Amazing.

It was the worst suicide the Moscow police had seen this month.

It seems like the number one way of dying in Russia is from falls.
