NICE: A Northern Ireland fan became the first fatality at Euro 2016 after plunging to his death from a guard rail overlooking the sea in the French city of Nice, a police source said. The young fan, who was in his twenties, fell between seven and eight metres into the Mediterranean at around 2am, the source told AFP.
