Karim Gazzeta, Mostar-based 'Zrinjski' football club's star tragically died by taking his own life, a police spokesperson confirmed Monday morning.

The Swiss national, who arrived in Bosnia and Herzegovina this summer to play for the local football club, committed suicide jumping from the building where he lived in the southern city of Mostar, spokesperson Ljudevit Maric told N1.

He left the Swiss club Xamax to join Zrinnjski, signing the contract until summer 2024.

Gazzeta started his career in Servette and also played for Atoile Carouge, Winterthur and Stde Laussane.
