Seems there’s a run of just darn bad luck for those fellers, especially the rich, powerful and politically connected. It’s like gravity keeps reaching up and grabbin’ ’em.

A Kremlin ally died falling down the stairs, report says — the latest in a series of unexplained deaths among prominent Russians

The Moscow Aviation Institute (MAI) university announced the death of Anatoly Gerashchenko, 72, saying he died “as a result of an accident.”

An unnamed source told Russian newspaper Izvestia that he died on the university’s grounds, by falling “from a great height” down several flights of stairs.

Huh.
