World Cup coordinator dies from shooting
BERLIN (AP) - The Berlin city government's World Cup coordinator died Thursday, four days after he shot himself in an apparent suicide attempt.
Juergen Kiessling, 65, shot himself in the head hours after the tournament ended with Sunday's final. He had been in hospital since the shooting. His motives remain unclear.
Mayor Klaus Wowereit said Kiessling ''always worked restlessly and tirelessly to fulfil the tasks he was given'' and praised his ''great and successful commitment to the World Cup.''
Kiessling, a widower, lived with his daughter in a Berlin suburb.
