A diehard Messi fans went missing after Argentina's humiliating 3-0 loss to Croatia on Thursday.
A diehard fan of Lionel Messi went missing from from Central Kerala’s Kottayam village on Thursday, hours after Argentina were humiliated 0-3 by Croatia in their Group D fixture in FIFA World Cup 2018.
The police suspect that Dinu Alex, a private firm employee in Kottayam, might have killed himself after Argentina's loss because they have recovered a suicide note from the youth's house.
The purported suicide note, found from Alex’s bedroom, said, “I have nothing else left to watch in this world. I am going to the unfathomable depth of death. Nobody else is responsible for my death.”
Apparently, the young boy had bought a new Argentina jersey just before Messi's high intensity match against Croatia and 3-0 drubbing in the end turned out to be too much for the young boy to handle.
Alex was last seen by his mother around midnight when he was watching the match. Accoridng to reports, Ayarkunnam police station house officer Anil Kumar V S said, a sniffer dog, which was brought to Alex’s house in Arumanoor village, had traced his scent to the banks of nearby Meenachil river.
“Search operations in the swollen river were suspended by the police and fire officials due to adverse weather. Search would resume tomorrow. He was a fan of Messi. We don’t find any other reason that could prompt him to take an extreme step,” he added.
Kerala is famous for its football fever which goes to another level around the World Cup time as you find crazy football fans sporting the jersey of their favourite teams with their faces painted in those colours.
Teams such as Brazin, Argentina, England and France have fans associations even in hinterlands of the state. Huge flex boards with photos of star players or teams have come up everywhere in the state.
