A Russian reporter known for his investigations into Russian mercenaries in Syria died after a fall from his apartment in the city of Yekaterinburg, raising fresh concern about threats to independent journalists.
Local investigators said they were considering several possible causes of death but that no crime was suspected at this time, the BBC reported.
Friend Vyacheslav Bashkov, described Mr Borodin as a "principled, honest journalist" and said he had called him at five in the morning last week to claim there was "someone with a weapon on his balcony and people in camouflage and masks on the staircase landing".
Russian media reports claimed police said the apartment was locked from the inside, indicating no one else had entered or left the property. One friend, Paulina Andreevna, said in a Facebook post that Borodin had been hospitalized earlier this month after a stranger attacked him outside his home.
Paulina Rumyantseva, editor-in-chief of Ria Novy Den, said Borodin's fall could have been the result of foul play or an accident.
Mr Borodin, who had been looking to hire a lawyer, later called him back to say he was wrong and that the security were a part of an exercise.
"As Maxim had big plans for his personal life and career, there is nothing to support a verdict of suicide", she told CNN.
