A Kenyan man has allegedly committed suicide following the outcome of the 2023/24 English Premier League season, which Manchester City won on Sunday, May 19.
In a viral video seen by Pulse, the deceased, who was wearing an Arsenal FC jersey, was spotted in a position that seemed like he had hung himself to death.
It was gathered that the unknown man, whose identity is yet to be determined, was an Arsenal fan.
Man City and Arsenal entered the season’s final day knowing that a slip from either of them would cost them the title.
However, Man City entered the final day of the season with a two-point advantage over Arsenal, with 88 and 86 points, respectively.
A win for Man City against West Ham at the Etihad would seal them a record fourth consecutive EPL title, while Arsenal also required a must-win against Everton at the Emirate stadium and a slip from Man City to secure their first EPL title in 20 years.
Man City eventually won the title after defeating West Ham 3-1, while Arsenal needed a late winner in stoppage time to defeat Everton 2-1.
