Police investigators in Russia’s Kaliningrad region on Monday discovered the decapitated body of the CEO of a local fertilizer company.
The chief executive, Alexei Sinitsyn, is believed to have died by suicide, according to a law enforcement source cited by the Vedomosti business newspaper.
Investigators told state news agencies that Sinitsyn’s body was found with an attached towing cable under a bridge outside the city of Kaliningrad. They said they were establishing the circumstances of his death.
Sinitsyn, 43, was the CEO of K-Potash Service, which has been developing the Nivensky-1 potassium-magnesium deposit in Kaliningrad since 2014. The ambitious project was originally planned to be launched in 2021, but has since been pushed back to 2032.
So you’re saying he wasn’t well hung?
Hahaaaaa…
Very good, but it’s ‘hanged’.
But hung also works, my apologies.
Hung also works; a lot of people stopped making the distinction, going back decades
This feels like one of them literally and figuratively things.
As an englishperson i feel inclined to despair. About a lot of things, not so much this though. Thanks for setting me straight
It might be less common in the UK (eg I know you guys still keep the lay/lie distinction commonly but it’s pretty muddled in the US these days), but you can find usage notes in US-based dictionaries:
