Ivan Safronov
Other non-natural
Safronov, a military affairs writer, fell from a fifth-floor window on Friday at the Moscow apartment block where he lived.
His newspaper said at the time of his death he was investigating reports of alleged Russian plans to sell sophisticated missiles to Iran and fighter jets to Syria, via Belarus. Prosecutors quoted by Russian media say they are investigating the possibility that he was "driven to suicide".
