Man dies after losing bet

HANOI (AP): A 24-year-old man committed suicide after losing a
bet on the Germany-Yugoslavia World Cup soccer match, local
police said yesterday.

Bui Van Dang was found dead Monday after hanging himself at
the office of the people's committee of Quyet Thang precinct in
the central highlands province of Kon Tum, police said.

Police said he had lost his Honda Dream motorcycle on the
Sunday match between Germany and Yugoslavia, which ended in a 2-2
draw.

Dang's family paid to get the motorbike back, but he killed
himself after he was cursed by relatives.
