Top Pakistani Snooker Player Majid Ali Dies by Suicide

Majid was a rising star in the world of snooker, having won the Asian Under-21 silver medal in 2017. He also represented Pakistan in several international events, including the World Snooker Championship and the Asian Snooker Championship.

Majid had been battling depression since his playing days, and his brother Umar said that he had recently experienced a resurgence of the condition. Umar also said that Majid had been struggling with financial problems, which may have contributed to his decision to take his own life.

Majid's death is a tragedy for the world of snooker and for Pakistan as a whole. He was a talented player with a bright future ahead of him. His death is a reminder that depression is a serious illness that can affect anyone, regardless of their age, success, or circumstances.
