I'm on pins and needles right now, and I'm trying to get verification but coming up empty. Foreign news outlets aren't always easy to get a grip on, so hopefully it's not true but.... you know... The words "supposed murder" in the tagline.... makes me sick. |

Still, nothing from the major American outlets so I'm just hoping and praying that there's a mistake, it's a sick hoax, misinformation, something, ANYTHING.
Here's a nice rule of thumb: if you're a boxer, stay out of South America. |

Other sources have it as a possible homicide. Says wife found him with what appeared to be a blow to the back of the head.
