How sad forthis Kenyan bloke.

NAIROBI (Reuters) - A Kenyan football fan unable to cope with Manchester United's loss to northern rival Newcastle United

committed suicide over the weekend, a senior Kenyan police official said on Monday.

 

John Macharia, 28, plunged to his death from a multi-storey apartment block in Nairobi after David Moyes' men suffered a

second home defeat in four days, denting the champions' chance of retaining their Premier League title.

 

"Macharia jumped from seventh floor of an apartment at Pipeline Estate after realising that his team Manchester United lost

1-0 to Newcastle at Old Trafford and committed suicide," Nairobi's County Police Commander Benson Kibui told Reuters.

That is very sad and a little extreme, but I can't help feeling that the second paragraph needs editing.

 

The separate concepts of a man falling and something being dented are a little confusing.
