Russian gravity strikes again. 3rd floor fall for Egorov - Putin ally

Putin Ally Found Dead After Falling From Third-Floor Window: Reports

Vladimir Egorov, an ally of Russian President Vladimir Putin, was found dead on Wednesday, according to Russian state media.

Tobolsk City Duma deputy Egorov, 46, a member of Putin's ruling United Russia party, fell from the third-floor window of a house on Kedrovaya Street in Tobolsk in the Tyumen Oblast, Russian Telegram channel Baza, which has links to Russian security services, reported.


Russian daily newspaper Izvestia also cited a source as saying that Egorov could have fallen out of a third-floor window.

Russian publication 72.ru cited one eyewitness as saying that Egorov fell from a third-floor window, and another as saying that he had "heart problems." It said an autopsy will be carried out to establish the cause of death.

Homeless people in NYC seemed to suffer the same ailment when Ghouliani was elected.

Bullet catchers on the front line. He could have at least found a use for his last days for his dwindling military. No clean up after.

While that sounds like it’s an expense he’d rather avoid, there’s plenty of skimming and grift available along the way….🤔…eh, just throw him out the window

My first thought when having a heart attack would be to get close to an open window and kind of lean that way.

Poison induced heart attack or stumbling after a hammer blow could lead to the fall of course.

Notice how quickly and openly the Russian officials confirmed it was the fall. Definitely the fall.
