When Luis Suarez dissuades a man from committing suicide

This Friday, Luis Suarez was on vacation in Uruguay during the MLS season break, while the story of a man threatening to commit suicide stirred the entire country. While passing through, the ex-Uruguay international intervened to chat with the 49-year-old man in order to convince him to come down from the tree at the top of which he was perched. “Luis Suárez approached us and what we did, during this moment of tension, was to try to speak in an empathetic and close way so that he did not prolong his action”declared a member of the NGO “Studies in Social Psychology”, according to Telenight.
