OGC Nice player who threatened to commit suicide no longer in danger

France Bleu are reporting that the OGC Nice player, Alexis Beka Beka (22), who threatened to commit suicide this Friday morning, has been safely recovered by firefighters and is no longer in danger.

Beka Beka stopped his car on the Magnan viaduct’s A8 motorway, 100 metres above ground, before threatening to jump. The outlet understands that the 22-year-old French midfielder remained sat on the hard shoulder, his legs hanging in the air, for three and a half hours. Beka Beka was talked out of taking his own life thanks to the help of psychologists who arrived on the scene, including the one working with OGC Nice.

At 2pm, Beka Beka eventually returned to safety on his own. He is currently taken care of by firefighters. The SM Caen youth product was used sparingly for his debut season with Les Aiglons and is yet to feature in the current Ligue 1 campaign.
