[Saba Sports News] Nice player Alexis Beka was at risk of suicide by
jumping off a highway bridge. With the intervention of fire and police
authorities, Beka was successfully rescued, temporarily alleviating the crisis.
French media outlet “L’Equipe” conducted a follow-up investigation
and reported that Beka’s decision to jump off the bridge was not solely related
to love but stemmed from severe depression. It was revealed that Beka had not
been given any playing opportunities since August of this year. Feeling that
his efforts were in vain, his depression gradually led him to extreme measures.
Following the bridge incident, Nice have established psychological counseling
sessions to provide support for players in need.
