'Suicide' of World Cup official
 

Berlin's top World Cup official has died four days after shooting himself in the head just hours after the football tournament ended.

Juergen Kiessling, 65, was rushed to hospital from his house in Reinickendorf, a suburb of Berlin, after a neighbour heard the shot.

The motive for the incident is not clear, but reports said Mr Kiessling left two suicide notes.

Berlin hosted the World Cup final on Sunday, when Italy beat France.

Mr Kiessling was known as "Mister WM" (Mr World Cup) by colleagues in Berlin.

He was responsible for the hugely successful Fan Mile in Berlin city centre, a concourse where giant screens showed the matches to hundreds of thousands of fans who could not get tickets.

Mayor Klaus Wowereit said Mr Kiessling had worked tirelessly, and praised his "great and successful commitment to the World Cup".

The tournament was widely seen as a great success for the host nation.

Mr. Romance

that's f-ing sad

:1orglaugh :( !!

that's some sad news.. :(

I don't see why ? lol
The guy prolly just had nothing to live for after realising his dream ...

yeh, agree with dr dre

maybe all the bribed refs got to his conscience

I agree with bknoob. Anyone see the Italy/USA game? Bribed all the way... And btw, wtf is up with Zidane?! I can't wait to see how this one unfolds! He and Matterazzi (I think that's how it's spelled) were ordered to go in front of the disciplinary committee next week.

Yea he probaly had nothing left to live for

I think zidane and mazeratti should have a ppv boxing match. That would make a lot of money...and zidane would fuck him up

Hehe:thumbsup

PPV boxing - great idea! hehe

A boxing match between soccer players....Nah, us girls would do better than those pansies.

Committing suicide over soccer...get real. There must be something more sinister happening to cause that.

Ok, who can give us infos about that suicide notes?

i don't think it is connected with WC. I guess it is his personal problems
