They performed the same song and announced they were going to be married. Tenco, however was devastated by his poor performance and insulted the judges and accused the festival of being rigged. He then killed himself in the couple’s hotel room.Dalida tried to kill herself not long after, and while she survived, the tragedies in her life continued. In 1970, her ex-husband killed himself in their old apartment, shooting himself in the head. In 1975, her friend and fellow singer, Mike Brant, also killed himself, jumping from an apartment window. In 1983, her boyfriend of nine years, Richard Chanfray, put an end to his life as well as that of his new girlfriend by carbon monoxide poisoning.On 3 May 1987, Dalida (born Iolanda Cristina Gigliotti) killed herself with a drug overdose.
