Source: http://ascology.com/news/local-news/13700-Imo-man-commits-suicide-over-failed-bet-Manutd.html A man in South Eastern part of Nigeria has been reported to have commited suicide over Manchester United's inability to win the UEFA Champion's league final on Saturday after placing a bet on them to win ahead of FC Barcelona, reports said. The 26 years-old Andrew Uba a native and residence of Okigwem Imo State was said to have placed a bet worth the sum of a hundred thousand naira ($650 approx.) against Barcelona FC with a co-worker. He was found dead after hanging himself to an electrical fan hook at his residence. The incidence was alerted to the authorities when his younger brother came visiting after repeated calls to his phone was left unanswered Manchester United ended up losing the game 3-1 with goals from David Villa, Lionel Messi for Barcelona and Wayne Rooney for Manchester United. His said co-worker was shocked to learn he commited suicide over the said bet. "I dont want to talk about this, I feel so guilty and bad, he took it well and seemed unshaken by the loss and we joked about it until now i'm hearing this, it's a tragedy and i feel terrible being in the middle of all this" It's not the first time that a fanatic supporter would die over a UEFA final loss. A Kenyan man commited suicide when his team (Arsenal FC) co-incidentally lost to FC Barcelona in the 2006 UEFA final. It is however unclear if fanatism led to his suicide or it's as a result of the lost bet. "He's not all that into football, he rarely ever watch football, this is shocking and unprecedented to me that he committed suicide over a sport i've always seen him mute over" a neighbour was quoted saying The Police authorities declined to speak on the matter sighting on-going investigations due to the mysterious nature of the incident.

anytime there's a major football/soccer event someone somewhere in the World loses his life.This man probably bet both his life savings and borrowed money. I wonder if the other guy who won the bet will spend his money without his conscience pricking him |

Awww!!! why now? why will some1 commit suicide over a champions league final, when for sure there will be another UCL final next year and another year after and on on. If the money is the prob he can bet again next year now. Even are Sir Alex is still willing to be Man U coach next season despite being humiliated @ home. Man U fans that witnessed the humliation live did not kill themselves. Even when Barca players decided to cut off the net from each post as souvenir, nobody kill himself. Well brother R.I.P |
