Syria White Helmets Co-Founder, found Dead days after Russia claimed he was spy

BREAKING: A former British Army officer who co-founded the White Helmets volunteer force in Syria has been found dead in Istanbul.

James Le Mesurier was recently accused of being a spy in a tweet from the Russian foreign ministry.

A neighbour said his body was found on Monday near his home in central Istanbul's Beyoglu district.

It will be interesting to see what the circumstances of his death are.

It's not as if anybody else has ever fallen off a balcony.

Especially not if they have just been accused by the Russian Foreign Ministry of being a spy...

A lawyer for a Putin-foe, Nikolai Gorokhov, was reportedly thrown from a window March 21 in Moscow. However, press outlets with ties to Russian security forces reported Gorkohov fell while trying to move a bathtub into his apartment.

Why Do Russian Journalists Keep Falling?

In March 2007, Ivan Safronov, who was investigating the sale of Russian arms to Iran and Syria, died after falling from a fifth-floor window. It was ruled a suicide.

In November 2009, independent broadcaster Olga Kotovskaya fell to her death from a 14th-floor window. She had been battling for control of her station with a member of the government. Her death was also ruled a suicide.

In February 2012, Victor Aphanasenko, editor of a newspaper that had been investigating paramilitary raids in southern Russia, died after slipping in his home.

In November 2015, Mikhail Lesin, who was often described as President Vladimir Putin's state media czar but who had fallen out of favor with him, was found dead after a fall in his hotel room in Washington, D.C. The FBI says he fell from extreme drinking and had "blunt force trauma to the head" and injuries to his neck, arms, legs and torso. That must have been some fall.
