Internet Blamed for Young Moscow Policeman’s Suicide
A Moscow policeman committed suicide at his desk early Monday, the Moskovsky Komsomolets daily newspaper reported Thursday. Prosecutors have suggested the young man’s Internet addiction may have driven him to commit suicide.
Lieutenant Alexander Andrianov, 23, came to the police station where he worked early on Monday, took out his Makarov gun and went to his office. A few minutes later colleagues heard a shot and on entering his office saw that Andrianov had shot himself in the head.
Investigators are at a loss to explain the officer’s death, the paper reports. The young man was described as sociable and well-tempered, who lived peacefully with his mother and younger sister and carried out his work well. His job was to analyze crimes, so the investigation has ruled out stress at work as a possible reason.
The only possible motive behind the policeman’s suicide could be his addiction to the Internet, prosecutors say.
The young man used to come to work red-eyed, and when questioned, he would say he had spent the night surfing the Net, his colleagues told the newspaper.
