The Russian’s friends claim that he fell overboard himself.

A top stock exchange manager died in Russia after falling from a yacht while sailing along the Moscow River. 

According to Baza, 44-year-old Georgy Chibisov, director of media and advertising at the Moscow Exchange, disappeared on the evening of July 27. According to his relatives, he went for a walk on a boat, after which he wrote a message to his wife and did not contact her again. 

As noted, Chibisov had never disappeared before, so the woman became scared and contacted law enforcement agencies.

The police questioned acquaintances “who were walking along the Moscow River with the top manager. According to them, at some point Georgy went out on deck and fell into the water. They tried to find him on their own, then turned to rescuers,” the publication writes. 

According to Baza, Chibisov’s body was found in the river on July 28. A criminal case has been opened under the article on violation of water transport safety rules.

  1. That makes a refreshing change.

    I was however, completely unaware that they had safety rules.

  2. Falling out of windows got too conspicuous, so now falling into water is the new way to go.
