Mystery/ Russian oligarch falls from the 10th floor, his friends raise
Another Russian oligarch has been found dead under suspicious circumstances after falling from a height of 33 meters from the window of his apartment in Moscow. Mikhail Rogachev, 64, the former vice chairman of Russian oil company Yukos, who "secluded" himself in his home after opposing Vladimir Putin, was found by an employee of Russia's SVR intelligence service with no signs of life, on wounds on the body.

Russian television reported that Rogachev lived on the tenth floor and was suicidal, claiming to have left a note and suffering from cancer. However, these claims were dismissed by his friends and family, who insisted that there were no signs that he was suicidal and that he had not displayed any disorder before his death.
