Interfax appears to confirm death of the second protester who fell off the colonnade. Not clear what "confirm" means http://t.co/k501Apf3ZD
However, there are some reports that the activist did not fall off the roof, but was "thrown" off.
@maxseddon There are convincing grounds to believe that it was 'thrown off', not 'fell off'. Verification needed, though.
@maxseddon There were at least 2 protesters on colonnade at the time. One was allegedly thrown down. https://t.co/pdT9LxXAyg
There's also disturbing video footage that some are saying shows what happened on the colonnade.
