Dani Alves is believed to have ended his life in his prison cell on the outskirts of Barcelona. The rumor had been brewing for a few hours until it went viral on social networks.

The brother of the former footballer, Ney Alves, published a video to deny these allegations. “He has already been convicted. Isn't that enough? He is in prison. Now the madness is that you want him dead. You want to see my brother dead. What cruelty! My father is over 70 years old. My mother is over 60 years old,” he said.
