A 24-year-old hockey player died suddenly in Moscow. Ivan Bitkin died after falling from a window of a property in Moscow possibly late on October 28th or early on October 29th. When the paramedics arrived, he was dead.

"He had financial problems, I don't know why. For at least six months, he had borrowed money from everyone. At least I tried. I don't know what exactly happened to him. Maybe I contacted the wrong company or worse, I have no idea. But the fact that he deceived his friends, trying to borrow money, and did not give, was such a sin with him."

Rest In Peace my friend.
