SAO PAULO -- Former boxing champion Arturo Gatti, one of the most exciting fighters of his generation, was found dead in a hotel room in the posh seaside resort of Porto de Galihnas early Saturday.
Police investigator Edilson Alves told The Associated Press that the body of the former junior welterweight champ was discovered in his hotel room at the tourist resort, where Gatti had arrived on Friday with his Brazilian wife Amanda and 1-year-old son.
Alves said police were investigating and it was unclear how the 37-year-old Canadian died. Foul play is suspected in the death, the CBC reported.

There are reports that his wife has been arrested for his death,

FUCK dude...this is starting to sound like de ja vu...

from newsfeed:

Gatti's body was discovered in the upmarket seaside resort of Porto de Galihnas early on Saturday.

Authorities say the 37-year-old may have been strangled with the strap of a handbag and had a mark on his head.

They also said there were inconsistencies in Ms Rodrigues' statement, even though she denied any involvement in her husband's death.

But they are curious to find out how Ms Rodrigues stayed in the apartment for around 10 hours with the couple's one-year-old son without noticing her husband was dead.

Brazilian boxer and four-time world champion Acelino "Popo" Freitas told the G1 Web site of Brazil's largest TV network Globo that he was a close friend of Gatti and his wife, and that he "knew they were having some sort of problem and were about to separate".

This is starting to sound like McNair all over again. Sounds like another female couldn't go back to being a nobody...
