Former boxing champ/knockout artist Edwin Valero was found dead in his jail cell on Monday, April 19. The troubled boxer committed suicide by hanging himself from a bar in the cell. This incident happened just hours after he was arrested in his wife's killing Jennifer Carolina Viera.
Valero admitted to the hotel security that he killed her wife. Valero's wife was found dead in a hotel room in Venezuela (April 17).
Valero was also arrested last month for assaulting his wife and threatening medical personnel who treated her at a hospital in the western city of Merida.
Couple of years back, boxing fans wants to see a Valero-Pacquiao fight but the negotiations failed to push through. Valero had trouble obtaining a license to fight in the United States after he suffered cerebral hemorrhage in a motorcycle crash in 2001.
Valero's 27-0 (all knockout) record would have made an outstanding opponent for world welterweight champion Pacquiao.
