Only a third floor window? People are getting lazy, Putin must be having a hard time finding competent help.

They needed to get to the next job and the lift wasn't working.
 
"Ouch!"
"What ... you've been lobbed out the window as a warning to others!"
"I was on the ground floor! You might've least made the bloody effort! It's quite demeaning, really!"
 
Putty fell out and that's that. Nothing will bring him back now.

Can I remind people this is not a thread about what is happening in Russia or Putin or anything like that. It is specifically about suspicious Russian falling deaths.

Thank you
 
Russian tycoon dies in 'mysterious' 110ft plunge

Mikhail Rogachev, 64, had fallen 110ft from a window at his home, according to reports. He had been vice-president of Yukos, an oil giant which had opposed Vladimir Putin and was forced out of business by the dictator. Rogachev also had a distinguished career as executive director of the Onexim group and later deputy general director of the Norilsk Nickel mining giant.

Initial reports in Moscow media outlets said that he had been suffering from “a severe form of cancer”, but these were strenuously denied by his circle, according to Telegram channel VCHK-OGPU which has links to law enforcement and the security services.

His relatives insisted there were no signs that he was suicidal and he was in a “good mood” shortly before his death. His body was found in the courtyard of his tenth floor flat by an SVR employee linked to a former Russian spymaster. He was the personal driver of Sergei Vinokurov, ex-deputy director of the foreign intelligence service. The SVR operative said he had been walking his boss’s dog when he saw the body.
 
Indeed, the citing of medication seems to be indicate some level of infirmity or lack of judgement.

Still, yet another mysterious defenestration/swan dive death in unlikely circumstances.

He was due to have a spine operation in a few days - it could have been a genuine suicide, not being able to face up to the potential end of his career.

Yes, seems possible. More likely than being offed by Putin in this case.
