Just in - dead Russian
A former official from Russias ruling party and top state executive has been found dead inside his apartment in what appears to be a suicide.
Yury Kotler, 50, a former state-run RIA Novosti, Time magazine and The New York Times journalist, served on the United Russia partys supreme council in 2012-2016 and on its expert council since February 2018. He was a senior manager at several state-owned companies, including VTB bank and Russias largest port operator Novorossiisk Commercial Sea Port (NCSP).
A note was found at the scene of the incident, making it clear that he committed suicide for personal reasons, the RBC business portal cited an unnamed Moscow police officer as saying Wednesday.
Investigators noted that no signs of violence were uncovered in the apartment where Kotler was found with a gunshot wound to the head.

(4,450 posts)People will start to "disappear." People who know things will suddenly start falling from high places, or accidentally ingest poison, or somehow have the misfortune of being on small planes that crash. They might mysteriously drown in their own swimming pools, or go missing on their way to work. But if I was a former or current TRUMP associate, I'd be putting my affairs in order, that's for sure.

(37,648 posts)He worked for Time Mag. & NYT? I wonder why they'd hire a Russian? I wonder if he said something Putin didn't like. I wonder if he knew something, so Putin took care of it before Mueller or NY prosecutor could get to him.
