asterix Posted October 8, 2012 Posted October 8, 2012 Two fans hang themselves after Sri Lanka's defeat in World T20 final Two Sri Lankan youth unable to put up with the national team's defeat in the ICC World Twenty20 cricket final against the West Indies have committed suicide, police said here on Monday. 17-year-old Ashan Lakshitha, who returned home after watching the match on a giant screen at city's Galle Face promenade, was found hanging on a mango tree early this morning. Similarly, 21-year-old Mahendran Suresh from the central district town of Hatton hanged himself in his bed room. Sri Lanka lost to West Indies last night by 36 runs, leaving a trail of disappointed fans. This was Sri Lanka's fourth World Cup final loss (two 50 overs and two T20s) across two categories. http://www.indianexpress.com/news/two-fans-hang-themselves-after-sri-lankas-defeat-in-world-t20-final/1013686/ RIP...

suraj Posted October 8, 2012 Posted October 8, 2012 I don't think this is true- how do we know that was the reason of suicide??? As if SL doesn;t have ppl committing suicides at other times; distorted story prolly

As if SL doesn;t have ppl committing suicides at other times; distorted story prolly True.. Newspapers do have tendencies to exaggerate such kind of news. News might not be absolute farce but likely to be some distorted facts. RIP in any case.
