The father of the gymnast who died in Magnitogorsk told about the circumstances of the incident

The administration of the Magnitogorsk circus, in which the actress died, claims that she was at an acceptable height and did not need insurance. Alexey, the father of the deceased, told Izvestia about this on May 19.

"At the moment, my daughter's body is in the investigative morgue for autopsy, because the circus claims that she was at an acceptable height without insurance — five meters. An autopsy will be performed, and the bones will be examined specifically to determine the height. Because the Investigative Committee of the Russian Federation does not believe that it was possible to get killed like that (by falling. — Ed.) from a five—meter height," the man said.

According to him, he learned about his daughter's death from a funeral services representative who called almost immediately after the incident.

It is reported that the funeral of the girl is scheduled for May 20.

Earlier that day, it became known that a circus performer died while performing a trick in Magnitogorsk. A criminal case has been opened on the fact of violation of labor protection requirements. It is reported that the death of the victim occurred in an ambulance. Currently, investigators are establishing the circumstances of the incident.
