According to an article written by the Associated Press and posted in Yahoo Sports, Arturo Gatti was killed early Saturday.  Brazilian authorities detained Gatti's 23 year old wife after she made contradicting statements during her interrogation.  She was the first to find the body.  It appears that Gatti was strangled with the strap of a purse, which was found with blood stains.  His wife was unable to explain how she spent nearly 10 hours inside the vacation home without noticing that her husband was dead.  Witnesses say the couple had an argument on Friday night and that Gatti was drunk.  A close friend of Gatti's and four-time world champion Brazilian boxer, Acelino "Popo" Freitas, said he "knew they were having some sort of problem and were about to separate.”  The couple had a 1 year old son together.
