LONDON: Tributes have started coming in for Swiss footballer Karim Gazzetta, who reportedly committed suicide on Monday.

The 27-year-old, who had spells with clubs in the Swiss leagues and was playing for Zrinjski Mostar in Bosnia at the time of his death, reportedly jumped from a building in Mostar.

Servette FC, Gazzetta’s first club in Switzerland, paid tribute to the late star in a statement, which said: “The Servettienne family mourns today the disappearance of Karim Gazzetta, a child of the club.

“To his loved ones, his family, we send our most sincere condolences and our support,” it added.

A Swiss Football League spokesperson said the organization “mourns the loss of former U20 international Karim Gazzetta, who tragically passed away in Bosnia.”
