Russian sausage magnate-turned-lawmaker Pavel Antov died in India on Saturday after falling from the third floor of his hotel, according to the Indian police.
Antov's death came after his friend and travel companion Vladimir Budanov died of a heart attack on Antov's 65th birthday, two days earlier, Vivekanand Sharma, a senior police official in India's northeastern Odisha state, said Tuesday.
Budanov was 61 years old and had a preexisting heart condition, Sharma said.
Police believe Antov died by suicide after falling from the third floor of his hotel in the Rayagada district, although the postmortem report has not been released yet, Sharma said. He said the case had been ruled an "unnatural death," which includes deaths resulting from accidents and suicides.
According to Russian state news agency TASS, Antov, who was a businessman and member of a regional parliament in the Vladimir region in western Russia, had celebrated his 65th birthday on December 22.
In 2018, Antov topped the Forbes ranking of the 100 richest civil servants in Russia. His income in 2018 amounted to about 9.97 billion rubles, according to Forbes Russia.
He was a member of the Russian parliament's United Russia party, which was formerly headed by Vladimir Putin and is still staunchly supportive of the Russian President.
Antonov pledged his support for Putin last June when he was forced to deny having posted an anti-war message on WhatsApp. He blamed an "unfortunate misunderstanding and a technical error" and said the status had been deleted.
Sharma said the Russian embassy had been contacted and procedures followed. Permission had been given for cremation of the bodies of both men, he said.
