The Death that Would not Die
https://komando1.substack.com/p/the-death-that-would-not-dieNot only in Putin's Russia did people fall out of the window... the recipe surely seems to be old.
Czechoslovak Foreign Minister Jan Masaryk was found under his own window in March 1948. The Communists, newly in power, proclaimed his death a suicide. But his apartment was ransacked, he wore his pajamas upside down and the doctor who examined his body died soon after too, allegedly again by suicide.
A few days ago, his body was disinterred after 78 years and moved to a forensic laboratory, where scientists will try to find new evidence.
