Russian Oil Company Chairman Reportedly Dies in Fall from Hospital Window
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

In Moscow, the chair of the Russian energy giant Lukoil has died under
mysterious circumstances. Russia's TASS news agency reported Ravil
Maganov fell from the sixth-story window of a Moscow hospital Thursday
morning, then later reported he had taken his own life. Magonov presided
over a meeting of Lukoil's board shortly after Russia invaded Ukraine in
February, where board members called for a speedy end to the conflict
and expressed sympathy for the war's victims. Maganov is the latest of
several high-profile Russian business elites to die under unusual
circumstances in recent months.
