Who is killing the actors? Seven famous musicians killed with firearms Vyacheslav Titov: strangled under strange circumstances.

Anatoly Otradnov managed to star in a huge number of TV series and gain popularity by the approaching 30 years. However, the actor's career ended tragically - he was found unconscious on the street, and after a while he died in the hospital.

"Deaf" case

Anatoly Otradnov (29) - the actor of the series "Capercaillie", "Interns", "Soldiers", "Univer" and some others - disappeared on January 29 and was found the next morning, when bystanders found him at a bus stop in Mytishchi near Moscow. He was unconscious, but still alive. Anatoly died some time later in the hospital. All this time he passed as an unknown person - he had no documents. Otradnov's wife Vitalina, who is in her fifth month of pregnancy, immediately began searching, but only the morgue workers identified the actor.

According to one of the versions, Otradnov died due to alcohol poisoning, according to another - due to the intrigues of the "cloning agents"

Now the police and the actor's relatives have completely different views on his death. So far, according to the official version of the police, the cause of death of Anatoly Otradnov was alcohol poisoning, and then hypothermia. However, relatives - a brother and a wife, believe that he died from poisoning with an unknown chemical. "Some alcohol was found in his blood - he drank a can or two of beer," said Anatoly's older brother, 36-year-old Maxim.

As the relatives of the actor assume, the criminals could have mixed poison into alcohol, and as soon as Otradnov felt sick, they searched him and, not finding any valuables, threw him in the street. Therefore, it is assumed that the actor has become a victim of "cloning agents". Moreover, his wife also said that Otradnov did not behave as usual. He called her on the phone and said that he was communicating with a friend without giving a name, as he usually did. The final answer of the examination will be given in early March.

The death of Otradny gave a pretext that a real curse hung over the series "Capercaillie". Indeed, recently the son of Victoria Tarasova, who starred in the same series, was beaten by adult men, and the boy spent some time in the hospital. And one more of the actors, Vyacheslav Titov, was found dead under mysterious circumstances.

Actor Vyacheslav Titov was a lover of dating on the Internet. They led to his death - another acquaintance, who turned out to be a criminal, strangled him

Internet intrigues have led to tragedy

Death of Vyacheslav Titov (40), who, in addition to "Capercaillie", starred in many TV series, as if taken from a detective story. Titov was found dead on the morning of December 29 by his 59-year-old mother Lyudmila Dmitrievna, who specially came from Tula to Moscow to find her son, who had stopped answering phone calls. Lyudmila found him in bed completely naked, with a bag on his head. Death occurred as a result of mechanical asphyxiation - in other words, the actor was strangled.

The police began to actively study Vyacheslav's mobile phone and entered his profiles on social networks. According to the investigation, the famous actor of the Mayakovsky Theater was killed by an unknown person, in whose company, apparently, he spent the night. He was first hit on the head with something heavy, and only then he was strangled.

On the evening before the murder, Titov was seen in the courtyard of the house in the company of several men. He drank beer with them. The employees of the criminal investigation department are looking for this company, they are finding out with whom exactly Titov could retire in a rented apartment. In addition to the version that unknown criminals could poison him and then strangle him out of selfish motives, there is another, which the investigation is considering: the murder was committed out of jealousy by someone else. “Apart from his documents, iPhone and bank card, other items were seized from Titov’s apartment,” the law enforcement officials said. "These are towels from the bathroom, butts of two different brands (Marlboro and Captain Black), fingerprint film with footprints and footprints, 6 beer bottles." However, until all the investigative actions have led to a result, and whether the killer of the actor will be found is a big question.

But it seems that Titova was brought to death by his love of "adventure". According to one of his acquaintances, Vyacheslav spent a lot of time on the Internet and spent hours on dating sites. Moreover, he got acquainted mainly with gay men.

Titov has a daughter, Stephanie, who is now six years old. A loving father spoke about her like this: “My daughter takes a big place in my heart. Maybe even too big "

“He was actively communicating on social networks and on dating sites. I corresponded and met mostly with men - I don’t know why, I didn’t go into these details, this is his personal life, ”said a friend of the actor, who wished to remain anonymous. He admitted that Titov more than once or twice invited new acquaintances to his home. At the request of friends to be more careful and not to let strangers into the house, he only brushed it off. “There are many stories when guys were visited by their new“ friends ”from dating sites, and then they were beaten and robbed. And there are such examples among my friends. But to kill ... "- added a friend of the artist.

Despite indirect accusations of homosexuality, Titov is left with a six-year-old daughter from his wife, with whom he broke up several years ago.

The death of the participant of the television project "Dom-2" Andrey Kadetov was very confusing. He received 14 stab wounds from the ex-boyfriend of the girl allegedly raped by him. Before the murder, the girl apparently blackmailed Kadetov

Bloody revenge

The murder of a participant in the Dom-2 television project, Andrei Kadetov, was even more complicated. This story began in November 2010, when a resident of St. Petersburg Alexandra O. wrote a statement to one of the police stations, in which she accused Andrei of rape, after she and her friends spent the night at a country dacha. After that, the creators of "House-2" asked 23-year-old Kadetov to immediately leave the popular project and deal with his personal problems.

“Andrei met this girl at a bus stop,” his close friend Alexei Sidorov told reporters. - A few days later she wrote a statement to the police. But there was nothing that Alexandra wrote about in the statement! " Be that as it may, for refusing to testify, the enterprising lady demanded from Kadetov about three thousand dollars. “He borrowed from friends and gave her half,” Alexey continued. "Then the girl wrote a new statement, asking not to initiate a criminal case against Kadetov."

But soon Andrei admitted that some police lieutenant called him and began to demand another 5 thousand dollars for the criminal case to be closed. He even met with him, but the negotiations did not lead to anything: the policeman demanded his share. Then Andrei turned to the Internal Security Directorate of the Main Internal Affairs Directorate. The operatives immediately became interested in this situation. Andrei was supposed to meet with the policeman, give him the money, and the extortionist would have been caught red-handed. The meeting was scheduled for December 25, 2010, but the night before, Kadetov was brutally stabbed to death near his house. As a result of 14 stab wounds, the young guy died on the spot.

Naturally, suspicions fell on the notorious policeman. “I accepted the statement from Alexandra O. about the rape,” he told the investigators. - Then the girl refused to testify. I asked the reason, she did not hide that she was paid. But I didn’t extort any money from either Kadetov or this girl, much less did I do anything more terrible. ”

However, it was not the notorious policeman who ended up in the dock, but a certain Yuri Zhidkov (23), a former inspector of the Department of Supervision of the Ministry of Emergency Situations in St. Petersburg, who was the former boyfriend of Aleksandra, who was allegedly raped by Kadetov. Law enforcement officers, having talked with Alexandra, saw the connection of her ex-boyfriend Yuri with the murder of Andrei. It turned out that Alexandra asked him to talk to Kadetov like a man, but the guys' conversation ended in murder. “The detainee acted out of revenge,” the police said. “It wasn't a contract murder. Apparently, the desire to avenge the "raped" girlfriend pushed him to the brutal murder. Perhaps he did not know that there was no rape or did not want to believe it. "

David Carradine was a successful Hollywood actor, starring primarily in action and science fiction. His ridiculous death came as a complete surprise

The artist satisfied himself to death

In the West, celebrities are practically not killed. The deaths of stars here, as a rule, are associated with some ridiculous tragic events, and not with the malicious intent of criminals.

So the most absurd death was found by the famous Hollywood actor David Carradine, who died at the age of 72. Carradine has starred in over 200 films and TV shows. His last high-profile announcement was the role of Bill in Quentin Tarantino's Kill Bill. The actor was found dead on June 4, 2009 in a hotel room in the Thai capital, Bangkok. The police quickly dismissed the suspicion of murder, the version of suicide lasted longer, but it turned out to be incorrect.

In Thailand, the actor took part in the filming of the film "Stretching", and he had only three working days, but love of pleasure led Carradine to death. The body of the actor was found by the maid in the closet. It hung on interconnected black and yellow nylon ropes, with one rope tied around the neck and the other around the penis. The ends of the ropes were tied and attached to a built-in wardrobe.

The hotel's security cameras recorded that on the day of Carradine's death, no one but him entered or left his room. The door was locked from the inside. “We cannot say that he committed suicide. Most likely, the actor died while masturbating, ”said one of the highest officials of the Thai police. Later, a forensic expert confirmed that Carradine died as a result of an autoasphyxiophilic accident, in other words, during masturbation, during which he also strangled himself for additional sexual pleasure. By the way, from 200 to 400 people die from asphyxiophilia in the USA every year.

The famous Australian crocodile hunter Steve Irwin was very popular. When the TV star died, real hysteria arose over his death in some countries.

Nature turned out to be evil to nature lover

The world famous Australian crocodile hunter Steve Irwin also found a "non-standard" death, turning the image of a fearless and enthusiastic lover of exploring the fauna in close contact into a trademark. His series was a great success around the world, and he himself was the prototype for the movie "Crocodile Dundee".

The Australian star, known for her wildlife reporting and crocodile and snake tricks, was killed by a stingray stingray. At the time of his death, Irwin was 44 years old. Steve participated in the filming of a film about the underwater world of Australia. Stingray killed the actor with a blow to the chest during one of the dives. A helicopter with medics arrived at the victim too late, and it was not possible to save him. Interestingly, people do not usually die after being attacked by these stingrays.

Sergey Bezdushny is already the fourth actor who has died recently

On July 13, it became known about the death of actor Sergei Bezdushny, who played in the first season of the acclaimed series "Capercaillie". He was only 53 years old. The actor's health problems arose when he received a head injury several years ago. In 2013, the artist underwent surgery after an intracranial hematoma caused by an injury. Then the doctors diagnosed him with a brain tumor. Doctors fought for the life of Sergei the Besodny as best they could, but to no avail.

After the death of the actor, the fans of the series started talking with renewed vigor about the curse of "Capercaillie". Over the past six years, several actors from the television project have tragically died. One death is more mysterious than the other.

Vyacheslav Titov: strangled under strange circumstances

A series of "mystical deaths" began in 2011. In his apartment in the center of Moscow on Novorogozhskaya street, Vyacheslav Titov was found dead - playing the role of a drug dealer Oleg Shilkin nicknamed Awl... As established by forensic experts, the actor was strangled.

Titov's friends said that he liked to meet men on social networks, and often invited them to his house. His loved ones warned him more than once - they say, be careful, now are not the times when the doors can be wide open. He laughed it off. And here's the bottom line. Two years later, Vyacheslav Titov's killer was identified. It turned out to be a 23-year-old David Zaseevwhom the murdered man met through social networks. The court sentenced the killer to nine years in prison.

Anatoly Otradnov: frozen to death

A month after the death of Vyacheslav Titov, Anatoly Otradnov, the performer of one of the roles in the series "Capercaillie. Continuation", was found in a village near Moscow near Mytishchi. Eyewitnesses say that the actor was lying near the garbage cans with his face in the snow. By the time the ambulance arrived, he was still breathing, but he died in the ambulance car due to hypothermia.

The forensic examination showed that death was a result of an overdose of alcohol and the medication clozapine. A criminal case was opened, because it is known that robbers often use clonidine to poison the victim, and then rob her. However, the killer was never found. Four months later, the actor's widow gave birth to a daughter, who was named Sonyaas her father wanted. The actor was looking forward to the baby's birth. He told his favorite teacher the news like this: "I have married the best woman in the world, and soon we will have a child."

Sergey Sharoshkin: died due to an exploded grenade

In March 2012, another actor of the series, Sergei Sharoshkin, died. He was found in his village home in the Ryazan region. The investigation showed that there are no traces of violent death, the actor himself is to blame for the death - he was collecting a grenade that exploded in his hands. There are also many strange things in this death. Relatives say that they have no idea that Sergei would suddenly decide to fiddle with weapons and assume that someone pushed Sharoshkin to this. But who could "help" him - and remained unclear.

In addition to a series of deaths, strange troubles constantly occur with the actors of the series. So, one of the artists Arseny Postnov, was robbed and severely beaten, but fortunately survived. Some psychics claim that the project is cursed, and there are several more deaths of artists ahead. However, the producer of "Capercaillie" Efim Lyubinsky does not believe in it. He appeals to logic. The series starred about two thousand actors. The producer asks not to whip up horror, but the adherents of the "curse" theory of the popular series have their own opinion.

Endless Love

ON THIS TOPIC

Zoya Fedorova was born on December 21, 1907 in St. Petersburg in the family of a worker and a housewife. As a child, she studied in a drama club and dreamed of becoming an actress, however, at the insistence of her parents, she got a job at Gosstrakh.

In 1927, an event takes place that may have played a fatal role in the further fate of Fedorova. At one of the parties, she met the Englishman Kirill Prove. Soon, the foreigner was arrested on suspicion of espionage. Fedorova herself was interrogated for a long time, but in the end she was released.

After a while, she began to receive her first film roles. All-Union recognition came to her after the film "Girlfriends" in 1935. Then other films followed: "Musical story", "Wedding".

In 1945, the actress again comes to the attention of the special services. This time for the connection with the American diplomat Jackson Tate. In January of the next year, Fedorova gives birth to his daughter Victoria. Trying to hide the fact of connection with a foreigner, she hastily married the composer Alexander Ryazanov.

But they failed to keep everything a secret. In December 1946, she was arrested and, after being imprisoned in the Lubyanka and in the Lefortovo prison, she was sentenced to 25 years in high security camps, confiscation of property and exile for the whole family. After the death of Joseph Stalin, the actress was rehabilitated. Fedorova was reunited with her family and again began acting in films. In 1976-78, she twice went to the United States to visit her daughter and Tate.

Again to go to America, but this time forever, the actress was going in 1981. However, her dream was not destined to come true.

Murder on Kutuzovsky

One of the December evenings in the apartment of Fedorova's nephew the bell rang. The alarming voice of a close friend of the actress sounded in the receiver, who said that she had not opened the door for several hours, although they had agreed to meet in advance. The woman asked her nephew to urgently come to the aunt's apartment with the keys.

When the man opened the door and walked into the room, an eerie picture opened up in front of him. Fyodorova with a bloody face was sitting on an armchair, her hand gripping the telephone receiver. The operative group that arrived declared death.

The murder weapon was a German Sauer pistol. Militiamen established that the actress was killed with a shot in the back of the head at the moment when she was about to talk to someone on the phone. In this case, the locks of the front door were intact. This means that the woman herself let the intruder into the house, and if so, he was well known to her. Fedorov did not let strangers and unfamiliar people: nine years in prison developed in her a distrust of people on a subconscious level.

In the networks of special services

The investigation considered several versions of the murder at once. One of them is political. The detectives suggested that in 1927, after the first arrest by the state security organs, Fedorova was released for a reason: she was recruited. According to some reports, the omnipotent head of the NKVD Lavrenty Beria, with the beginning of World War II, offered the actress to be a special agent of Soviet intelligence in Moscow in case the capital falls under the onslaught of the Germans.

If this was true, then Fedorova, if something happened, could tell something that not everyone was supposed to know. After leaving for the United States, which at the time was the Soviet Union's bitterest geopolitical rival, the actress could be used by American intelligence to obtain valuable information.

Diamond drama

Investigators also considered the version of the actress's involvement in, with which relatives of some influential party officials were associated. These people made huge amounts of money buying and reselling jewelry, antiques and valuable works of art. Fedorova, the detectives assumed, occupied a rather high position in this mafia. In the notebook of the deceased, law enforcement officers found more than two thousand phone numbers and addresses.

Investigators suspected that the actress could buy an apartment in the most prestigious district of Moscow, on Kutuzovsky Prospekt, in a house opposite the high-rise of the Ukraine Hotel. It is possible that for some reason the acquaintances of the mafiosi did not want to let Fedorova go abroad, but she did not obey and in the end paid with her life.

It is worth noting that at that time almost the entire party elite lived on Kutuzovsky. In the luxurious Stalinist houses there was the apartment of Secretary General Leonid Brezhnev, KGB Chairman Yuri Andropov, Interior Minister Nikolai Shchelokov. The wife of the latter, Svetlana, according to the writer Yuri Nagibin, really wanted to get the diamond that Fedorova owned. Who knows, maybe she sent a killer to the actress.

The former head of the USSR Criminal Investigation Department, Vyacheslav Pankin, expressed his own version. In his opinion, the movie star was engaged in buying jewelry and diamonds, and then shipped them to his daughter Victoria in the United States. Thus, Fedorova wanted to ensure herself a comfortable old age abroad.

Shortly before her death, the actress sent a valuable picture, hoping to bail out good money for it. However, it turned out that the canvas was fake. During the investigation, the daughter of Fedorova said that she had talked with her mother literally two days before the tragic events, and she allegedly foresaw her imminent death.

Insidious girlfriend

A rather banal, but at the same time, the most plausible version was presented by the investigator of the criminal investigation department Boris Krivoshein. He found out that shortly before Fedorov's death he had acquired a new girlfriend. It turned out that the woman's son also lived in the United States, and in fact, next door to the daughter of a movie star. Fedorova wanted to transfer some jewelry to Victoria and decided to do it through her friend, who had no problems traveling abroad.

Ordinary human self-interest played a fatal role in the fate of the star of Soviet cinema. According to this version, the friend did not want to give away the jewelry and decided to appropriate them for herself. Therefore, she killed Fedorova, took all the valuables in the apartment and disappeared. The investigators interrogated her as a suspect, but the woman, naturally, denied her involvement, and the law enforcement officers failed to prove this.

In any case, Krivoshein is sure, Fedorova was killed by the fairer sex. Only a woman, the investigator explained, could neatly comb the hair on the back of the victim's head after it had been tousled by a pistol shot.

In total, more than four thousand witnesses were questioned in the case of the murder of Zoya Fedorova. Most likely, Krivoshein did not lie when he stated that he knew the name of the attacker. How else to explain the words of the daughter of the deceased, who thanked the detectives for "found justice." However, the perpetrator was never named publicly, and the atrocity remained officially unsolved.

As it turned out, some famous people had to do terrible things. And some stories, frankly, are shocking ...

Robert convinced the investigation that he was not guilty, because after dinner he took his wife to the car, then returned to the restaurant to pick up the pistol forgotten on the table (strange coincidence, doesn't it seem so?), And the woman was already dead. Ultimately, Blake was found not guilty in criminal proceedings, but convicted in civil.

Celebrities often turn into other people on stage and on set, but in real life, their misdeeds can be critical. How about murders? We know several actors, musicians and well-known personalities who - accidentally or intentionally - killed a person, or even several. Who are these people?

Sid Vicious

Sid Vicious (aka John Simon Richie) is known to us as the bassist of the punk band Sex Pistols from the UK. The musician and his girlfriend Nancy Spungen were heroin addicts. One of the doses was the last for the girl, but not because of an overdose. According to the official version of the police investigating the death of Nancy, after taking the drug, Sid passed out in a hotel room, and when he came to, he found his girlfriend stabbed to death in the bathroom. He himself called an ambulance and in every possible way denied guilt, as he treated Nancy well and never showed cruelty to her. Already in prison, the musician tried to commit suicide, but the attempt ended in failure. Once free after posting bail, he took a large dose of heroin and this time fell asleep forever.

Waltraud Mayer

The German opera diva went to murder out of lust for money. On the accounts of her elderly husband Herman Hill (the age difference of the spouses was almost 20 years) were 5.5 million euros. He was a wealthy fishmonger. 55-year-old Waltraud killed her husband (he was reported missing), and then arranged a "casting" for his role.

The singer's plan was simple: to pass off the impostor for her husband, make him rewrite money to her and let him go to all four sides with a reward. She hoped that no one would notice the substitution: the couple lived modestly in a small village and rarely caught the eye of their neighbors. But the cruel woman was handed over to the police by one of the men who participated in the "wiretapping", but were refused. The cops called the incident a perfect Hitchcock thriller-style murder.

Leonid Yakubovich

The permanent host of the capital show "Field of Miracles" has been confidently driving a car for many years. Despite his extensive experience, in 2001 he knocked down to death in his Hyundai Accent 30-year-old resident of Kyrgyzstan Sergey Nikitenko. The young man died in the hospital a few days later. The investigation established that the culprit of the accident was a drunk pedestrian who threw himself under the wheels at a red signal, and not the driver, so Leonid Yakubovich got off with a strong nervous shock. Law enforcement officers closed the case a couple of weeks after the incident.

Konstantin Meladze

A couple of days before the New Year 2013, producer Konstantin Meladze shot down a 30-year-old Ukrainian woman and a mother of two children from the village of Kozin to death. It happened in the area of \u200b\u200bthe pedestrian crossing on the Kiev-Obukhov highway. The driver was sober, did not hide from the crime scene and did not deny that he was driving. Law enforcement officers opened a criminal case, but Meladze, for some reason, passed on it as a witness. He entered into an out-of-court agreement with the relatives of the deceased, under which he pledged to support the children he made orphans.

Don King

King is perhaps the world's most famous boxing match organizer. However, the "godfather" of American boxing is also an experienced killer. For the first time, his actions were recognized as justified self-defense: he shot a robber attacking him when he tried to escape from the scene of the crime. The second time he faced justice 12 years later - after strangling the athlete Sam Garrat with his own hands, who owed him some 600 dollars.

At that time, the star of the boxing world owned millions and was going to avoid punishment at any cost. Don King intimidated witnesses, bribed witnesses, but the verdict was relentless: murder of the second degree of gravity. But one more meeting with the judge - and now King is accused of only murder of sudden intent. As a result, he spent a little over three years behind bars.

Snoop dogg

Snoop Dogg, aka Calvin Cordozar Broadus, Jr., is one of the most prominent musical figures in the foreign rap scene. In 1993, he was arrested during an MTV awards ceremony on suspicion of the murder of a rival gang member, Philip Voldermarium. Among the suspects were also two people from the rapper's inner circle, including Snoop's bodyguard, who personally shot Philip. The star's lawyers managed to prove that the murder was an act of self-defense - allegedly Voldermarium threatened Snoop Dogg and his friends with a weapon.

Mikhail Kazakov

The star of "Yeralash" and the sitcom "Daddy's Daughters" Mikhail Kazakov, better known to the audience as Bochkin and Ilya Polezhaikin, has dark pages in his biography. In 2005, he defended his classmate Victoria, who was threatened by a jealous young man, and in the heat of a fight he stabbed the offender several times with a knife. The victim, Kirill Gurkin, died in the hospital. A criminal case was opened against the young actor, and he still had to spend one year in prison, after which Kazakov was acquitted, recognizing his act as exceeding the limits of necessary defense. A year later, Mikhail returned to the cinema.

Philip Kirkorov

The Russian pop star can be included in the list at a stretch. In the April 2017 edition of the Secret in a Million show, Philip Kirkorov admitted that in 2003, during a concert in the United States, he accidentally pushed the 70-year-old security guard away from him. The man fell and hit his head. A few months later, the guard died, the artist was accused of murder. The case ended only in 2010, and the jury acquitted the artist by a margin of only 2%.

Matthew Broderick

Actor Matthew Broderick became a murderer by coincidence in an accident. In 1987, he collided with another car while traveling in Ireland, as a result of which two passengers of the second participant in the accident were killed. Matthew was under investigation, but was eventually acquitted. However, this incident had a serious impact on his personal life: after the tragedy, he broke up with his girlfriend, actress Jennifer Gray, and then for several years heavily departed from a deep nervous shock.

Lane Garrison

Actor Lane Garrison became famous for her role as Rogue in the TV series Escape. As in the case with Broderick, he became the culprit of a serious fatal accident, but this time the star guy was still found guilty. In a state of severe alcohol and drug intoxication, he crashed into a tree, while there were three minors with him in the car: two girls and a guy who died on the spot.

The dose of alcohol in the actor's blood was twice the permissible norm, and forensic experts also found traces of cocaine in the body.
