A journalist who gained notoriety when he was punched in the face by a drunk ex-paratrooper while reporting live on TV has reportedly thrown himself off a tower block.
Nikita Razvozhaev, who worked as a correspondent for Russian TV channel NTV, reportedly killed himself in Moscow.
The 25-year-old's death comes three months after Mr Razvozhaev made headlines when former paratrooper Alexander Orlov punched him during a live broadcast from Russia's Airborne Forces Day celebration.
In the video, a drunk Orlov can be seen shouting when the reporter asks him to be quiet.
The former serviceman responds by punching the reporter in the jaw and Razvozhaev stumbles away mumbling: "I am sorry."
