The Russian embassy in Berlin described the death of an employee in front of the embassy building in the center of Berlin as a "tragic accident".
At the same time, the diplomatic mission rejected reports from Western media about possible backgrounds.
"We consider speculations that have surfaced in a number of Western media in the light of this tragic event to be absolutely wrong."
Berlin - Guards from the Berlin police are said to have found the 35-year-old on October 19 at around 7:20 am on the sidewalk at the back of the embassy complex.
According to information from the magazine, the man is said to have had connections with the Russian domestic secret service FSB.
It may have fallen from an upper floor of the embassy complex on Behrenstrasse, not far from the Brandenburg Gate.
