NAIROBI, May 6 (Reuters) – An Arsenal fan in soccer-mad Kenya hanged himself wearing his beloved team’s shirt after their defeat to Manchester United in the Champions League. Suleiman Omondi, 29, was found hanged at his home in a middle-class Nairobi estate shortly after leaving distraught from the pub where he had watched Arsenal lose 3-1 in their Champions League semi-final at the Emirates on Tuesday. “He took some drinks and broke down in tears within the final minutes of the match,” a fellow bar patron, who asked not to be named, told Reuters. Police said they were called to Omondi’s house on Wednesday morning. “What we are gathering is this suicide is related to the Arsenal and Manchester match,” local Embakasi area police chief David Bunei told reporters. Bar attendants said they had to intervene after Omondi lunged at a man who suggested Arsenal would not recover from conceding two early goals.

Well that answers that question. First it was Bea Arthur, then it was Dom DeLuise, now today the 3rd death is none other than Suleiman Omondi. Who woulda thunk it? Frankly given the pattern, my money was on Don Rickles or Phyllis Diller, but keep in mind I also had Desert Party in the Derby. Whatever the case, you gotta wonder whether this guy killed himself because his favorite team lost or because he was just so freaking bored watching soccer all day? It’s gotta be a tough call for the coroner to make. If I had to bet though, I’d probably say the autopsy reveals a little bit of both.
