Particulars
According to the official version, Józef Pluta was cornered in a small yard, climbed a tree and attempted to hang himself with a belt; the branch broke under his weight, he fell, and the resulting severe skull fracture killed him instantly.
Other accounts have speculated that Milicja operatives shot Pluta and staged a fake suicide, and that he was blamed for multiple murders that were allegedly attributed to him by the Gorzów Wielkopolski Prosecutor's Office, though these claims have not been substantiated.
