Maganov is the most recent high-profile business executive to perish in mysterious circumstances.
Authorities said they were working at the scene to determine how he died. According to sources, he fell out of a sixth-floor window and later committed suicide, according to Tass.
Shortly after Russia invaded Ukraine, the Lukoil board of directors called for an end to the conflict as soon as possible, expressing sympathy to victims of “this tragedy.”
Vagit Alekperov, its billionaire president, resigned in April after the UK sanctioned him in response to the invasion.
In recent months, several Russian energy oligarchs have died in unusual circumstances:

In April, a former vice-president of Gazprombank, Vladislav Avayev, was discovered dead in his Moscow flat with his wife and daughter.
Alexander Subbotin, a former Lukoil tycoon, died of heart failure in May, reportedly after seeking alternative treatment from a shaman.
Lukoil is Russia’s largest private corporation. According to the company’s statement, it grew into one of the world’s largest energy companies thanks to Maganov’s managerial skills.
He began working for the private oil company in 1993 and took over as chairman two years ago.
