[Yahoo] Ten days after the sudden death of an outspoken Kremlin critic in Washington, D.C., was deemed a "suicide" in the press, friends of Dan Rapoport fear there are nefarious forces at play to make sure the truth stays buried.Rapoport, 52, was found dead in front of a lavish apartment building on the evening of Aug. 14 by police officers said to be responding to reports of a "jumper," according to a preliminary police report. Though the report notes he fell to his death in the early evening hours, they said there were no known witnesses, despite the building’s location in a bustling area right across from a popular hotel.
Eerily, he died in the exact same manner as his former business partner, Sergei Tkachenko, who plunged to his death from a Moscow apartment building in 2017.
