Berlin's top World Cup official shot himself in the head just hours after the tournament ended and is now fighting for his life, police say.
Juergen Kiessling, 65, was rushed to hospital from his house in Reinickendorf, a suburb of Berlin, after a neighbour heard the shot.

The motive for the apparent suicide attempt is not yet clear.

German media report that he left two suicide notes - one for his daughter alone, and one for his family.

Berlin hosted the World Cup final on Sunday, when fans watched Italy beat France on penalties.

Mr Kiessling was known as "Mister WM" (Mr World Cup) by colleagues in Berlin. He was responsible for the hugely successful Fan Mile in Berlin city centre, a concourse where giant screens showed the matches to hundreds of thousands of fans who could not get tickets.

The tournament was widely seen as a great success for the host nation

how the funk do you shoot yourself in the head and miss all the vital parts? unless he has a massive head.

i dont believe in failed suicide attempts, if you really want to die then you will do it properley

Believe it or not apparently it is very difficult to shoot yourself in the head and be successful, (and die).

Shooting yourself in the temple is no good as the bullet has to penetrate the skull only from a few inches, and of course if does it has to hit the right part of the brain. Believe it or not the bullet can actually deflect away from the intended spot.

Well so I've been told from a copper who's come across this type of thing before, if you want to commit Herry kerry dont shoot yourself in the head FFS, you just might well live and have a nasty big dent in your head.

Only if its planted in the mouth and held at an upright angle to the brain.

Otherwise the power of the gun when pulling the trigger may well jault back, again possibly missing the right spot.

I dont know :laugh:
