http://www.abqjournal.com/sports/2012/05/27/breaking-johnny-tapia-dies-source-says.html Apparently, there are no details of yet. I'd predict suicide, sadly.
I feel awful to hear it but it can't be a surprise, given what his life has been like. He packed 20 crazy lives into his four or so decades.
I Was just thinking about patna the other day... Tapia was mainiiiii... dude was a force.. He was a tough SOB.. RIP
