But how does one strangle himself with a purse strap?

Good question. Without getting all morbid, maybe he put the thing around his neck and twisted it? That or the Brazillian police really suck.

It was reported that when they found him he was hanged.

He was the second boxer just last month to commit suicide. Alexis Arguello, former lightweight champion, shot himself at his home in Nicaragua.

I think it would be wise if these two men were to have brain matter examined by Dr. Bennet Omalu who also did studies on many other athletes, Chris Benoit being a prime example. The boxing community needs to open their eyes up to the same cruel truths that other pro sports leagues are facing now. Brain injuries are killing the people who used to participate in their sport.

I know the purse strap looked pretty bloody but is there any chance that it was autoerotic asphyxiation?

Well.........if I am married to a 23 year old Brazilian woman, I don't think I would need that to get off........

Wasn't the kung-fu guy killed that way?
