Other cabin crew members who have also been questioned corroborated the video footage.
Police Spokesperson Emilian Kayima says that based on the information at hand; It is very likely that suicide was Vassileva’s the reason for jumping.

“We have looked at it from every angle but what we have now is that she most likely committed suicide,” Kayima said. She had the means. Having worked as a cabin crew member for two decades, she knew what to do and what its implication would be, “he added.

Body tissue samples have already been extracted for a toxicology analysis to determine the chemical contents of her body at the time of death.
