    A lot of people die randomly swimming. Just last week someone drowned in the river near me, and a few months back, there was a drowning in a lake. Both involved alcohol.

    I just don’t see why drown the NK envoy.

      My present speculation, if it wasn’t an accident, was that he was trying to defect/escape NK.

      Russia isn’t the only place to use political executions.

      Alternatively, it could have been a western state- Ukraine features high (if they have the capability?) specifically to impose some strain on relations.

      We’ll prolly never know what really happened.

      I mean yes random people drown a lot, but it’s also how the CIA (allegedly) assassinated the PM of Australia during the 60s, after he was insufficiently supportive of the Vietnam War.
