The same version was confirmed by journalist Maxim Ravreba: "Two days ago, he was last seen at Kurenivka. Then the wife was called for identification. Vitaly was found dead in an underground passage along Teligi Street, near St. Cyril's Church. Or killed, or fell from a great height onto concrete steps. But it was an unnatural death." A criminal case was opened on the fact of the death of the actor, but no signs of violent death were found on his body: "A witness, a saleswoman at a round-the-clock stall, saw a man on July 16 at six in the morning sit down on the parapet that encloses the stairs to the underground passage and accidentally fall down, rolling down the stairs. The fact that the man was alone at that time was also recorded by a video camera installed nearby. Farewell to V. B. Linetsky took place on 21 at the Theater on the Left Bank. The actor is buried at the Berkovets cemetery.
