A top Russian scientist with close links to Edinburgh University who was ‘working on a Covid-19 vaccine’ has been found dead in suspicious circumstances in St Petersburg.
Biologist Alexander ‘Sasha’ Kagansky, 45, best known for his work on fighting cancer, was reported to have fallen in his underwear from a 14th floor window of a high rise residential building.
He also had a stab wound on his body, according to Moskovsky Komsomolets (MK).
The death follows six Russians plunging to their deaths from hospital windows earlier this year.
Five of the victims were being treated for coronavirus whilst one victim was a doctor who had complained about PPE shortages.
Another doctor fell from a hospital window, but he survived and remains in hospital with head injuries.
UPDATE:
The suspect, identified as a childhood friend of Kagansky, told police they were celebrating the scientist’s birthday when he stabbed himself and leaped to his death, Moscow Times said.
