May 28 Andrey Panin would have turned 54, but in 2013 he passed away under mysterious circumstances. The question of what became the real cause of his death is still open. Since his death, three main versions have emerged: accident, murder, and manslaughter. The reason given in official sources - an accident - seems implausible to many.

Andrei Panin's body was found on March 7, 2013 in his apartment. The deceased had a head injury. Death occurred the day before, on March 6. From anonymous sources, the press received the following information: the door to the apartment was locked, at the time of death the actor was drunk, a head injury and large blood loss were recorded, there were traces of blood throughout the apartment, no valuable items were taken out of the apartment.

Anonymous sources in law enforcement agencies claim that Panin's death is not of a criminal nature - most likely, the actor felt bad, he fell and hit. In their opinion, Panin was injured, having fallen from a height of his own growth, stumbled while drunk. Having smashed his head, he panicked and began to randomly move around the apartment. And the movement and the increased pressure from alcohol increased the pulsation of the blood, as a result of which death occurred.

2 years after the death of the actor, the criminal case on his death was closed with the wording "accident", but to this day, many of Panin's friends and colleagues continue to claim that this is not true. Even a drunk person in such a state would try to stop the blood, and then they would find, for example, a towel covered in blood. If he realized that he could not do it on his own, he would probably have called someone. However, no calls were recorded.

Supporters of the version of a violent death suggest that a fight broke out in the apartment, and Panin died as a result of bodily harm inflicted on him. Many are convinced that the actor could not have received such injuries as a result of a fall. Abrasions on his knuckles and bruises on his knees also support the fight version. But no traces of a fight were found, no one heard the noise. In addition, the door was locked with a key. Therefore, it was someone of your acquaintances who was let into the apartment, and then he left, taking the keys?

The version that the actor was killed in another place, and then brought to the apartment, also did not find confirmation - there were no traces of blood in the elevator and in the stairwell, but they were everywhere in the apartment. And in that case, there would certainly be witnesses who saw or heard how the body was brought into the entrance. There is also a possibility that Panin was beaten, after which he came home on his own, opened and closed the door with his key, and then lost consciousness and died from blood loss and injuries. But could he walk home in such a state?

Panin's wife, actress Natalya Rogozhkina, believes that the cause of his death was the same addiction that destroyed their marriage - an addiction to alcohol. The operatives are sure that the actor was drinking without restraint in the last few days before his death, which is confirmed by the neighbors. In his bachelor apartment, Panin appeared periodically when he wanted to be alone.

Psychologist A. Orlova claims that the actor was depressed: “People of creative professions, living in such a rhythm as Panin, simply do not know how to rest! In the conditions of their work, when there is practically not a single minute to be oneself, in the circle of loved ones, the need to constantly be in public - all this leads to the syndrome of chronic fatigue. This is a syndrome of professional burnout, when the accumulated irritation, exorbitant, long-term emotional stress simply breaks a person.
