Shum Posted 11 July 2006 Posted 11 July 2006 Berlin's top World Cup official shot himself in the head just hours after the tournament ended and is now fighting for his life, police say. 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 apparent suicide attempt is not yet clear. German media report that he left two suicide notes - one for his daughter and one for his family. Berlin hosted the World Cup final on Sunday, when fans watched Italy beat France on penalties. Mr Kiessling was known as "Mister WM" (Mr World Cup) by colleagues in Berlin. The tournament was widely seen as a great success for the host nation. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/europe/5168890.stm
bigneville Posted 11 July 2006 Posted 11 July 2006 I wish him well in his recovery. It's never nice to hear things like this especially after the World Cup was run so smoothly. Get well soon Jurgen..
