Tragic reports are speaking about the death of a top Russian ballet star who fell 60 feet to his death from his hotel balcony.
The victim was identified as 39-year-old Vladimir Shklyarov who was among the world’s leading ballet dancers. He starred at the Metropolitan Opera in New York and the Royal Opera House that’s located in London.
His body was found beneath his residence on Lieutenant Schmidt Embankment in St. Petersburg.
For now, insiders are yet to speak about how his sudden death arose but an investigative committee indicated that the death was ruled as an accident. They failed to give out the sequence of events that arose.
Meanwhile, another report from the crime news agency shared how he was leaping between two balconies on the fifth floor of his residential block.
The news was not confirmed by law enforcement agencies. The report stated how he was trying to escape from his home where his former wife and ballerina Maria Shirinkina had locked him at his request to prevent him from purchasing more drugs.
Other reports did lean towards him suffering from unreported and unknown drug and alcohol addiction issues but there were also claims that the version is malicious and inaccurate.
