He died because of a gust of wind from the blades of the helicopter. According to local media, an absurd tragedy occurred at the end of the head of state's trip to the village of Yakhchy Sor of Darvaz district of the Gorno-Badakhshan Autonomous Oblast.

The airport chief was among the officials who met and accompanied the head of state during his trip to Darvaz district.

When the helicopter of the president got his blades, the wind blew them away from Maksudshoev, who fell and hit his head on the rocks.

Ambulance took him to the hospital, but on the way to Darvaz district hospital, the victim died. Local authorities called the death of Maksudshoev an absurd accident.

Recall, as reported URA-Inform, on Friday, August 25, a helicopter of the US armed forces Black Hawk crashed near the coast of Yemen. As a result of the crash, several people were injured.
