Man Kills Self After Losing His Last Savings On Bet For France To Win Euro 2016

A man named Fidel Nikitin, 27, had killed himself after losing his last savings on a bet that France would win the Euro 2016 final. He hoped the £2,300 gamble would allow him to clear his debts but Portugal went on to beat the host nation on Sunday.

The mobile phone salesman, from Izhevsk, Russia, left a message on his social media account after the 1-0 defeat saying: "Thank you and forgive me."

Police said he walked onto the Ludzya-Izhevsk railway track and did not flinch as a train sounded a warning. The driver said he had no time to stop after seeing the man on the track, it was reported.

Relatives revealed university educated Fidel was deeply shocked after Portugal beat France to win the tournament. May his soul rest in peace.
