Luis Suarez helps prevent suicide attempt as Inter Miami star joins rescue operation while enjoying MLS post-season break in Uruguay with wife Sofia Balbi

<p>The veteran Uruguayan striker has been back in his homeland ahead of reporting for pre-season training duty in Florida – with the 37-year-old frontman having <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/luis-suarez-extend-last-dance-lionel-messi-mls-new-inter-miami-contract-rubbish-fitness-concerns/bltb7eda8b7449c9611" target="_blank">agreed a 12-month extension to his contract alongside Lionel Messi</a> at Chase Stadium.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>During his time in Ciudad de la Costa, Suarez is said to have joined efforts to coax a man down from a tree who was threatening to hang himself if his partner did not show up. Discussions with the 29-year-old lasted 20 hours.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>According to <a href="https://www.directvsports.com/noticia/Luis-Suarez-heroe-en-Uruguay-colaboro-en-el-rescate-de-un-hombre-que-intento-suicidarse-20250105-0011.html " target="_blank"><em>DirecTV Sports</em></a>, Suarez delivered an “emphatic talk” that helped to lure the man in question down from a six-metre high tree. His presence was most welcome as the person was located in a dune that made access difficult for the National Navy’s rescue efforts.</p>

DID YOU KNOW?

<p>Suarez and his partner Balbi had been out for a walk on the Solymar promenade close to where they are staying in Uruguay. The Specialised Domestic Violence Unit of the Ministry of Interior took charge to provide care and a professional evaluation once the man had been talked out of taking his own life.</p>
