Liverpool fan's cause of suicide unknown 05:55 AM Dec 23, 2009SINGAPORE - He was such a die-hard fan of Liverpool Football Club that he wore the familiar bright red team jersey even in death. The body of Teo Kok Hun, 33, was found hanging from a bathroom window by his wife on Oct 26, a day after the club had beat archrivals Manchester United. Mr Teo, a driver, was clad in the football jersey with a pair of bermuda shorts. A suicide note was found on the living room table. It was not clear why he took his life but in the note, Mr Teo apologised to his wife and parents and admitted to his gambling habit. Mr Teo was known to have also gambled on football. Yesterday, a coroner's inquiry heard that Mr Teo's wife, a travel agent, had returned from work at 7.30pm that day. Noticing that the lights in the house were not switched on, she called Mr Teo's mobile phone which rang inside the house. Thinking her husband was playing hide and seek with her - which he sometimes did - Mrs Teo started a hunt for her husband. She saw his figure in the shower of the master bedroom toilet and told him to come outside for dinner. When he did not budge, she pushed the shower door and saw that Mr Teo was hanging by his neck from a window. Mrs Teo immediately called her mother, then Mr Teo's sister, who called for an ambulance. In her statement, Mrs Teo said she last saw her husband at 7that morning, before she left for work. During the day, she spoke to him twice on the phone, and the couple made dinner arrangements. Mrs Teo added that they had just bought the house in January, and as a result, they were tight on money. Mr Teo had also taken no-pay leave from his job to find another job. Those who last spoke to Mr Teo detected no change in his mood. In a statement, one of his close friends said the night before his death, he had called Mr Teo while both of them were watching the football match. When Liverpool scored, Mr Teo even teased his friend. State Coroner Victor Yeo returned a verdict of suicide. Ansley Ng

The passerby was agitated by the fact that the would-be jumper had held up traffic around Haizhu Bridge for almost five hours. None of the 12 who threatened to jump has done so, although each has held up traffic for several hours. In the latest case, a man named Chen Fuchao threatened to kill himself on Thursday after saying he was in 2 million yuan of debt following a failed construction project. After being pushed off the bridge, Chen fell 8 m onto a partially-inflated emergency air cushion. The 66-year-old person who pushed him, Lai Jiansheng, had broken through a police cordon and climbed up to where Chen sat. He greeted him with a handshake before pushing him off the bridge. Chen damaged his spine and elbow in the fall. "I pushed him off because jumpers like Chen are very selfish. Their action violates a lot of public interests," Lai said.

Why need to be so greedy. 1 Million more than enuff for most of us but this guy suicide cos he lost the game? German billionaire commits suicide Tuesday January 6, 2009, 12:17 pm EST Yahoo! Buzz Print German billionaire Adolf Merckle, one of the richest men in the world, committed suicide on Monday after his business empire got into trouble in the wake of the international financial crisis, Merckle's family said Tuesday in a statement. Merckle, 74, was hit by a train in the southwestern town of Ulm, police said. His family said the economic crisis had "broken" Merckle. He was number 94 on the Forbes list of the world's richest people, with a business empire that included interests as diverse as cement-maker HeidelbergCement and generic drug-maker Ratiopharm. But he lost hundreds of millions of dollars, including company capital, betting against Volkswagen stock last year. The state government of Baden-Wuerttemberg rejected his petition for financial assistance, and he entered bailout talks with several German banks. "The financial troubles of his companies, induced by the international financial crisis and the uncertainty and powerlessness to act independently which the financial problems brought about, broke the passionate family business man, and he took his own life," his family wrote in a press release. An employee of Germany's railroad company found the body on the tracks at about 7 p.m. Monday night and notified authorities. Merckle's family had already reported him missing earlier in the day after he walked out of the house and did not return. Authorities are currently conducting DNA tests to confirm his identity
