Remigiusz Muś was theflight engineer of the Yak-42 that landed at Smolensk before the Tu-154 and was found hanged in his basement yesterday night. He was one of the most important witnesses to the smolensk investigation.
Muś could hear the communication between the Tu-154 crew and the Smolensk air traffic controllers via his onboard radio and had always stated that the tower had told the Yak-42 and the Tu-154 to descend to no less than 50m. This is in contradiction of the MAK and Polish report which specified 100m.
The 36th Unit of which he belonged was disbanded and its members threatened with legal action for landing the yak-42 in bad conditions which might be a factor in this apparent suicide.
