    I think it’s done that way for brand reasons.

    Dude becomes undesirable -> falls out of window -> everyone knows he didn’t fell on it’s own

    It’s fear tactic.

        With a suicide/accident you don’t need to open an investigation. It’s basically showing off that the execution is state sanctioned at every level, I’d say.
