The saddening incident occurred just after Argentina lost 0-3 to Croatia in the second round of the group stage, thereby facing the risk of being eliminated from the World Cup.

Alex, a diehard Messi fan, was devastated after Argentina was thrashed 3-0 by Croatia. He was last seen by his mother watching the match on TV. She told him to go to bed as he had to go to work the next day.

His mother found the kitchen door wide open and Alex was missing. A suicide note was recovered from his house in which Alex wrote, "I have no more interest in this world. I am proceeding towards death and no one is responsible."

A police dog traced Alex's final journey to the river that was flooded. Alex was unmarried and worked as an accountant in a private company in India.

He had difficulty in facing his friends who were mainly Portugal and Brazil fans. This news is a shocker to all football fans around the world.

According to News 18, Dinu Alex's body was found uninjured and police confirmed it was a suicide.
