Oscar Pistorius ‘on verge of suicide’ as he sells off belongings

Legless Olympic sprinter Oscar Pistorius is “on the verge of suicide” as he hawks his belongings to fund his murder defense, it was reported yesterday.

The Blade Runner, 26, is torturing himself over the Valentine’s Day killing of his girlfriend, Reeva Steenkamp, at his home in South Africa, a close pal said.

“He doesn’t know where he is going. I would say that, just by speaking to him, he is a broken man,” the pal, Mike Azzie, says in a BBC documentary, “Oscar Pistorius: What Really Happened?” “I’d go as far as to say he would be on the verge of suicide.”

With his sponsorship deals gone, Pistorius is struggling to pay his legal bills, which already total $300,000, the BBC program said.

He is now looking to sell off his racehorses.

“He’s asked me to try to get people to buy them for him because he has no form of income any longer,” Azzie said. “He’s selling off all his property and everything because of the legal costs.”
