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.

And yet the media fears Trump will do this.

Happens all the time in Mexico. But for some reason the media doesn't want you to know that.

Criminal nature no. Political nature - You BET!

In Russia this passes for ‘natural causes’. That said, we’re not that much better these days.

What do you mean "passes for 'natural causes'"? There is nothing more natural than for a reporter investigating the Russian government to die from a fall like this. I would have been surprised if nothing happened to a guy like this.

Frankly whoever Russia knocks off or not is not my concern when we have the Clintons etc. knocking off those who oppose them in our country!

Same with who are not Trump slept with 20 years ago when we have our “Current” Congressional Leaders with a ‘Pay Off’ fund for their sexual activities, and this on the taxpayers backs!

“In Russia this passes for ‘natural causes’.”

Here it’s called being “A friend of the Clintons”.

I'm not saying it was aliens, but it was aliens.
