Fan killed at Brazil game

Just 40 days before the country hosts the World Cup, the ugly side of Brazilian soccer was on view on Saturday after a fan died when he was struck by a toilet bowl thrown following a match in the host city of Recife.

Santa Cruz, a second-tier side, had drawn with visiting Parana late on Friday when violence erupted outside Arruda stadium, across town from a brand new World Cup venue.

Some fans ripped out toilet bowls and threw them at people congregated below, fatally injuring one.
