RIP "Turbo Bandit" aka Roman Pumpish

I couldn't find any details, just a brief mention in Niibe's blog here.

"Roman Pumpish The owner of TURBO BANDIT was killed by someone at home on May 20, 2021."

This is sad news but also strange.... was told by a friend he read somewhere he jumped off a building in "strange circumstances".

Has anyone got a solid article on this? I looked at Turbobandit website and FB page etc, tried Google and no solid mention of Roman Pumpish death that I could see(?) Except forums and all inconclusive

Seems like the general consensus from a Swedish forum is that Roman committed suicide.

Unfortunately, Roman Karpovich has had his struggles with mental health. According to the biography for his (former) band Burlak, he left Soviet Russia for Sweden at age 15 but ended up in a mental institution. Later he got deported to Russia where he was placed in an insane asylum, but somehow escaped and made his way back to Sweden, where he eventually became a citizen.
