Russian sausage magnate-turned-lawmaker Pavel Antov died in India after falling from the third floor of his hotel, according to the Indian police.
Antov’s death came after his friend and travel companion Vladimir Budanov died of a heart attack on Antov’s 65th birthday, two days earlier, Vivekanand Sharma, a senior police official in India’s northeastern Odisha state, said Tuesday. Budanov was 61 years old and had a preexisting heart condition, Sharma said. Police believe Antov died by suicide after falling from the third floor of his hotel in the Rayagada district, although the postmortem report has not been released yet, Sharma said.
Russian Consul General in Calcutta Alexey Idamkin told Russian state media RIA Novosti on Monday that the Odisha State Police and the Consulate General in Calcutta didn’t see anything suspicious in the death of two Russians in India. “We are aware of the deaths of two Russian citizens. We are in touch with the relatives of these people and the police department of the city where it happened.
