Russian oil chief Ravil Maganov dies in 'fall from hospital window'
The chairman of Russia's Lukoil oil giant, Ravil Maganov, has died after falling from a hospital window in Moscow, Russian reports say.
Maganov, 67, was being treated at the city's Central Clinical Hospital and died from his injuries, sources told Russian media.
He plunged from the sixth-floor window of the Central Clinical Hospital, according to police sources cited by RBC news website.
The hospital, known as the Kremlin Clinic for its treatment of patients from Russia’s political and business elite, confirmed Maganov’s passing to state-run news agency RIA Novosti without disclosing the circumstances of his death.
Shortly after Russia invaded Ukraine, Lukoil called for the war to end, according to the BBC.
Early in March, the Lukoil board called for the conflict in Ukraine to end as soon as possible, expressing its sympathy to victims of "this tragedy".
“We stand for the immediate cessation of the armed conflict and duly support its resolution through the negotiation process and through diplomatic means,” LUKoil said in a letter to shareholders at the time.

Ravil Maganov took over as chairman of Lukoil's board two years ago. He began working for the private oil company in 1993.
In May a former senior manager at Lukoil, Alexander Subbotin, reportedly died also under unusual circumstances.
Russian police opened a criminal case after the death of former LUKoil executive Alexander Subbotin in early May, The Moscow Times noted.
