- BUCHAREST: Romanian opera singer Roxana Briban who sang in Bucharest, Berlin and Bangkok during a 10-year-career, has died after apparently committing suicide.
She was 39. Her husband, Alexandru Briban, said he found Briban's dead body in the bathtub late Saturday, with her wrists slit.
Alexandru Briban said Sunday his wife had sunk into depression after Romanian National Opera severed her contract in 2009. From 2003 until 2010, Briban also performed at the Vienna State Opera.
