A man’s corpse, found riddled with bullets and run over by a vehicle in Spain last week, was identified as that of Russian military pilot Maksim Kuzminov, who flew his Mi-8 helicopter to Ukraine in a dramatic defection in August, Ukrainian officials said.
His killing — after a very public threat to his life last year on Russian state television — has raised questions about whether this was a Russian-ordered assassination carried out on European soil.

“If anything in this life is certain, if history has taught us anything, it is that you can kill anyone.”
Yep if Edward Snowden had been a Russian who stole a bunch of classified information and sought asylum in America. He would have been "offed" by the FSB within a month or two.
Never steal your country’s chopper while committing an act of treason. Unlike the US wokesters some countries take treason seriously.

He have heart attack and fell out of window onto exploding bomb, and was killed in shooting accident.
seems like we have many dead bodies being found all over the USA. They may not be helicopter pilots but they are dead and the killers and causes are often unknown.
The subject here may have been involved in all kinds of nefarious businesses. As a helicopter pilot he would be in great demand by unsavory people.

And got his two comrades murdered when they got to Ukraine.

Seth Rich comes to mind...
Usually aircraft defections have interesting stories and they use some good planning and airmanship. But this guy had it coming. There were two other guys on his aircrew and he murdered them as part of his plan.
Russia probably paid Moroccan gangs to wax him.
Probably killed by the families of the other crewmen he had murdered while defecting.
