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.

Perhaps.

Why so many suicides in Russia?

The suicide rate in Russia according to national sources, 39.1 per 100,000 in 2000 and 41.4 in 1995... Not including the war.
