A Russian investigative journalist who wrote about the deaths of mercenaries in Syria has died in hospital after falling from his fifth-floor flat.
Maxim Borodin was found badly injured by neighbours in Yekaterinburg and taken to hospital, where he later died.
Local officials said no suicide note was found but the incident was unlikely to be of a criminal nature.

Outstanding and insightful point!
Ping
We all know it is not of a “criminal nature” if it is the state that whacks you. . . . /sarc
How does one say ‘Arkancide’ in Russian?
Shades of Boris Nemtsov. Said to have been murdered after returning from Ukraine with evidence of not only Russian involvement in the war , but names of many Russian soldiers KIA. Closely parallels Borodins writings of Russian dead in Syria.
A recall a French documentary that claimed Putin and his buddies basically funnel off 30% of the annual Russian budget for their own personal use. Good to be his friend. Not so great to be his enemy.
I was rather wondering that myself. 😁
What did Borodin write?
In recent weeks, the journalist had written about Russian mercenaries known as the “Wagner Group” who were reportedly killed in Syria on 7 February in a confrontation with US forces.
Dangerous lot I’d bet.
And yet the media fears Trump will do this.
If only...
Imagine if Jim Acosta mysteriously died...
Sometimes new recruits botch the cover story by waiting to pour the booze down the victim's throat until after he's dead. It doesn't get into the bloodstream that way.
Did you even both to compare the June date in your picture to the August date in your picture to the “less than a month” math error in the title of your picture?!
Good grief.
A world of idiots.
The media need not fear Trump. They should fear Hillary and the DNC.
Want proof? Ask Seth Rich. Oh wait. You can’t.
How’s the Seth Rich investigation going? Any suspects yet?
The Clintoons pretty much made that “falling out the window” look like amateurs with their Arkancide Squad.
Don't be silly. He shot himself in the head in a coup de grace after he hit the pavement, but before he tossed the gun in a nearby trash receptacle.
You’d better put some ice on that..
“Would a drunk Russian falling off a balcony be that unusual?”
Nope.
Pushed or otherwise, to be sure.
still more credible than the explanation for the passing of Loretta Fuddy

I just did. Is smiling at the thought wrong?
