The 58-year-old Marina Yankina, finance director for Russia’s Western Military District, was found dead beneath the windows of a St. Petersburg high-rise where she lived.

The body was discovered this morning. A local Telegram news channel suggests that Yankina called her ex-husband to let him know she was about to jump, and told him that she was leaving her documents and packed belongings on the balcony.

Before joining the Western Military District, Yankina worked in the Federal Tax Service. The local media reports that she rose to her chief-of-finance position within five years of joining the WMD as an entry-level staff member. Some sources suggest she committed suicide because of “health problems.”
