They must get on with it now… find some other way of accidentally dying. If this proves one thing it is either the total lack of imagination in Russia, or the total lack of education on the risks of heights

I think it’s done that way for brand reasons.
Dude becomes undesirable -> falls out of window -> everyone knows he didn’t fell on it’s own
It’s fear tactic.

With a suicide/accident you don’t need to open an investigation. It’s basically showing off that the execution is state sanctioned at every level, I’d say.
