https://www.yahoo.com/news/anti-war-russian-musician-falls-231137771.htmlA Russian musician who opposed President Vladimir Putins war on Ukraine reportedly plunged to his death during a police search.
According to state news agency RIA Novosti, 58-year-old Vadim Stroykin died by suicide when police came to search his St. Petersburg home in connection with accusations of extremism.
The citys investigative committee told RIA Novosti that Stroykin went into the kitchen during the police search.
The musician was last seen alive on the 10th floor of his residential complex, and his body was later found under the windows, according to local newspaper Fontanka. He was accused of giving money to the Ukrainian army.
Authorities are investigating his death.

That has the number of window deaths so the people can keep account of them.
It makes one wonder why so many Russian people commit suicide ?
