MOSCOW, Sept 1 (Reuters) - Ravil Maganov, the chairman of Russia's second-largest oil producer Lukoil (LKOH.MM), died on Thursday after falling from a hospital window in Moscow, two sources familiar with the situation said, becoming the latest in a series of businessmen to meet with sudden unexplained deaths.
The sources confirmed reports by several Russian media that the 67-year-old had plunged to his death, but the circumstances surrounding his fall were unclear.
Two people who knew Maganov well told Reuters they believed it was highly unlikely he had committed suicide.
Another source close to the company said there was a belief inside Lukoil management that he had killed himself, but he had not seen evidence or documents to support that.
Asked by Reuters if they were investigating the death as suspicious, Moscow police referred the question to the state's Investigative Committee. The Committee did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

It’s the way the Communist Party does things.
Defenestration is alive and well in Russia.
Along with Jeffrey Epstein, he didn’t...
Nobody just “falls” from a window.
Did he die on the first “fall” or did he have to be carried upstairs to “fall” again?
Why was he in the hospital? Perhaps a grim diagnosis led him to suicide.
Fall came early this year in Moscow.
“A four alarm fire in Downtown Moscow clears way for a glorious new tractor factory.”
Just like this guy’s death, I’m sure they’re just coincidences.
(That quote was from Airplane in case you missed it).
Apparently, Russians easily lose their balance around open windows.
Putin just sending a message.
Yeah. He was told Putler was coming for tea.
An oil magnate couldn't afford a hefty bribe to get a lethal dose of morphine, but would rather plunge out a building and risk the chance he'd live through the terrible pain of ground contact?
He was conscientious enough to close the window on the way out.
I remember that during the Cold War a lot of prisoners in Lubyanka escaped from their cells and immediately went to the roof where they mysteriously fell to their death.
At least he wasn’t home, so that the rest of his family got killed too, like those Gazprom execs.
Little known Dec.21, 1965 single by Bob Dylan:
Please Crawl Out Your Window
Hey, crawl out your window
Come on, don’t say it will ruin you
Come on, don’t say he will haunt you
....Hey, crawl out your window
Come on, don’t say it will ruin you
Come on, don’t say he will haunt you
Why does he look so righteous while your face is so changed?
Are you frightened of the box you keep him in
While his genocide fools and his friends rearrange?
Their religion of little ten women
To back up their views, but your face is so bruised
Come on out, the dark is beginning
Ah, come on, out your window
Come on, don’t say it will ruin you
