A Russian oil tyco on has died after falling from a window in his home in Moscow, the Russian capital.

Andrey Badalov, vice president of Russian oil pipeline company Transneft, was found dead beneath the windows of a home on the Rublyovo-Uspenskoye highway, according to Russian state media.

His death is the latest in a string of high profile and unexpected deaths of senior executives in the country’s energy sector since the Ukraine invasion began in 2022.

An unnamed law enforcement source told state-run media outlet TASS that “the preliminary cause of death is suicide.”

Transneft has confirmed Mr. Badalov, 62, has died but have not commented on the circumstances.
