A RUSSIAN industrial climber who regularly conquered tall buildings has been found dead, dangling from the roof of a snow-covered student dormitory.
Mystery surrounds the circumstances of 26-year-old daredevil Yevgeny Tikhonov’s death, but there are no suggestions he took his own life.
Icicles were hanging from his feet and his head was covered with snow.
The macabre sight 40 ft above the ground was spotted by a young girl in Anzhero-Sudzhensk, a town 65 miles north of Siberian city Kemerovo.
She alerted adults who called the police.
His body appeared to have been dangling from the building for a long period but local reports suggested he died only some two hours before he was spotted.

His body was found with icicles hanging from his feet in the - 27C temperatures
Temperatures had plunged to minus 27C at night in the hours before the tragedy.
“Tikhonov was a well-known and experienced industrial climber, who had worked repairing many tall buildings,” reported The Siberian Times.
His social media shows him climbing a number of buildings far higher than the block where he died.
The climber lived and worked in Anzhero-Sudzhensk, and had a girlfriend, a female friend said.
“He loved working as industrial climber and often joked with us that he only came down to sleep,” she said.
Rescuers, police, the Russian national guard, and Investigative Committee were called to the site.
An investigation is underway into the circumstances of his death.
