28. I remember. 2015. His name was Mikhail Lesin. Dead Russian.

And he was found in the DC hotel in DuPont circle in 2015.

I remember because I stayed in that exact hotel several times before.

Cause of death: blunt force trama, inside his locked hotel room. Go figure: blunt force injuries to his head, neck, arms, legs, abdomen. Ruled as “accidental death” .

Seriously.
