Brazil club owner attempts suicide
An owner of the Brazilian night club where 235 people perished in a weekend fire tried to commit suicide, police said Wednesday, as the number of survivors seeking medical treatment after the disaster continued to rise.
Elissandro Sphor tried to kill himself with a plastic shower hose, said a senior police official.
Sphor's doctor told the Folha de Sao Paulo newspaper that since the tragedy, his client -- who is one of two owners of the night club -- cries incessantly, has had to be put on a prescription of tranquilizers, and is emotionally "destroyed."
