Russian sausage tycoon and war critic dies in fall in India

As Slade Cantrell, the villain portrayed by Joe Flaherty in the SCTV parody serial "Six Gun Justice" used to say, these Russian war critics seem to die "real accidental like."

Russian sausage tycoon, Pavel Antov, died in a fall from a window at an Indian hotel, two days after a friend died during the same trip.

They were visiting the eastern state of Odisha and the millionaire, who was also a local politician, had just celebrated his birthday at the hotel. 

Antov was a well known figure in the city of Vladimir, east of Moscow. 

Last summer he denied criticising Russia's war in Ukraine after a message appeared on his WhatsApp account. 

The millionaire's death is the latest in a series of unexplained deaths involving Russian tycoons since the start of the Russian invasion, many of whom have openly criticised the war.
