 Fidel Nikitin commited suicide as Portugal defeated France in Euro 2016 final – The university graduate placed a bet on the host nation to win the trophy – The mobile phone salesman was hoping the money would clear his debts A man named Fidel Nikitin took his own life after losing his last savings on a bet he placed with his friend in the Euro 2016 final between hosts France and Portugal. The 27-year-old hoped that if France won the finals, his £2,300 (about N862,270) bet would have payed all his debts, but Portugal broke his heart after beating the host nation.
The mobile phone salesman, from Izhevsk, Russia, left a message on his social media account after the 1-0 defeat saying: “Thank you and forgive me.”

The police in Russia said that he walked into the Ludzya-Izhevsk railway track and did not avoid being hit by a train as it sounded a warning.
The epic final proceeded into extra-time and Nikitin’s relatives revealed that the university graduate was deeply in shock when Eder got the all-important goal after 109 minutes to ensure the Selecao win the tournament. The hosts made desperate fight back, but were unlucky as goalkeeper Patricio made strings of saves to deny the hosts. It ended; Portugal 1-0 France. Knowing he would not be able to pay his debts, Fidel who had taken out a series of loans but was unable to pay them back had hoped winning the bet would allow him to repay his debts.
