That should be "at then end of 5 story fall"
He was ok when he was 2 feet from the bottom.

He was probably already dead before he fell out the window.

Yep! There really is no doubt about it anymore Putin has sent
assassins to silence his critics. The trouble is that one or more will be caught and will talk.

I would argue he was OK until his 2 feet were in his bottom. :)

It wasn't the fall that killed him, it was the sudden stop.

Another one was shot in front of his house - chalked up to "local crime". I'm beginning to see a pattern.

...reminds me of that story about the annoying little poodle who jump over the balcony railing 20 stories up. Seems the critter was chasing a ball a guest threw, over enthusiastically, took that leap........
Later in the evening when the owner was searching for him, the guest who threw the ball says "last time I saw him he was sitting out there on the balcony, and boy did he looked depressed"
