Buvaysar Saitiev, a former Russian Olympic wrestling champion, died after falling from a window in Moscow on March 2, 2025.
The 50-year-old was found seriously injured on the ground outside his apartment on Minskaya Street.
His wife, Indira Saitiev, believes the fall was accidental, as her husband had suffered a lung disease and was on painkillers. Despite the fall not causing severe injuries, Saitiev later died from cardiac arrest.
Saitiev, a three-time Olympic gold medalist, had been a prominent figure in Russian sports and politics. His death follows a troubling trend of Russian officials and businesspeople who have died or been seriously injured after falling from windows, leading to widespread speculation about the circumstances surrounding these incidents.
