World Cup Heartbreak Leads Bengal Man To Suicide, Claims Family

Rahul Lohar was found dead at his home in West Bengal's Bankura district after India lost the title clash to Australia.

A 23-year-old cricket fan could not bear the Indian team's loss in the World Cup final and died by suicide, his brother-in-law said Monday.

Rahul Lohar, who worked at a saree shop and also for a caterer, was found dead at his home in West Bengal's Bankura district last night after India lost the title clash to Australia by six wickets in Ahmedabad.

"He was an ardent supporter and loved the team more than himself. After India lost to Australia, he could not bear the loss and died by suicide at around 11 last night," Uttam Sur, brother-in-law of the man, told reporters.
