Did he beat himself up and throw himself out a window, or take polonium?

Paraphrasing here but, ‘sometimes a very suspicious suicide by a Russian official is just a very suspicious suicide by a Russian official’.

Statement from the Russian government:

"Sadly our investigation has determined that there was a small amount of polonium sitting in a window planter, which he appears to have somehow ingested as he plunged out of the window.

While this might seem unusual, our government statisticians say this is surprisingly common"
