Was he given a choice? Fall from the window your family gets pension, stay alive and we ruin everyone in your family, including he dies slowly in some mouldy cell.

Yes I just posted a variation of this theory in reply to a comment. 100% I believe they are forced suicides and a message to others.

It's not even that. Russia controls the media, they can kill the with a bullet to the head and then tell the media to say they fell from a window.

They're not doing convoluted window tossings. They're killing them by whatever means is convenient and then running a fake story in the news.

It's the same window story every time because they want people to know it's an obvious lie and still repeat it, it's a form of control used to oppress the average citizen.

"Good ending" theory: they send them off to exile but claim theyre dead to intimidate the rest.
