LONDON (Associated Press) - Darren Sutherland, who won an Olympic bronze medal in boxing at last year's Beijing Games, was found dead Monday. He was 27.
Sutherland was found hanged at his home, his manager Frank Maloney said. Maloney, who discovered the body, was taken to the hospital suffering from shock and tests later revealed that the 55-year-old manager had a heart attack.
Sutherland, an Irishman who was unbeaten in his first four professional fights, was due to appear with Maloney at a news conference on Tuesday to talk about his next fight, which had been scheduled for Oct. 16.
