Arturo Gatti dead at 37

Horrible. Tragic. Devastating. Just a horrible night for me..I was Gattis biggest fan, and this has hit me harder than the swarm of celebrity deaths of late. The world of sports has lost a class act, and a definite true warrior. May he rest in peace.....so unbelievably tragic. Authorities suspect foul play, and a friend of the family said he and his wife had been having problems. They were on their second honeymoon in Brazil with their one year old child. This is so awful...

news report says she was in the suite for 10hrs. before she noticed he was dead. He had been hit in the head before he was strangled. I didn't think she would be able to just walk up and do it without him fighting back. Also said they were very jealous of each other. He didn't like what she wore.( or didn't wear.)
