One was that he was “taking a selfie” when he fell, and the other that he had a furious row with his father before running to a rooftop helicopter pad and falling off.

“One of the versions of what happened is that he tried to make a selfie.
“According to the building’s security, young man had been with his father at the skating rink.”
But news website Life.ru citing eyewitnesses said: “People said there was an argument between the young man and his father.
“In the heat of the moment Alexander ran to a helicopter pad and jumped off.”
Carmen Greenway, 41, was cycling home after having dinner at a pub to celebrate her mother’s birthday when she hit a bump and lost control.
The graphic designer was not wearing a helmet and fractured her skull.
She died six days later.
Rufus Greenway, 47, said his wife – who’d had a drink – was not taking selfies at the time of the crash and called for wearing helmets to be made compulsory.
The dad, from Isleworth, West London, said: “She was just having a lovely time, happy to be with her mother for her mum’s birthday.
“One second you’re happy and then next second it’s a train wreck.”
