    Is this more BS to hide the fact that he was murdered?

    Here's an ESPN article about his struggles with depression and substance abuse.

    It's sad, judging by the reading I've done on him, it seemed like he was only really comfortable when he was boxing.

    I also wonder if the damage he took in his boxing career added to it. With all of the recent stories about NFL players committing suicide, it's a little surprising (in a good way) that we don't hear that often about boxers ending their own lives too.

    Add another "s" below before "ets" in the title, as it is censored.
