Boxing’s pound for pound king Manny Pacquiao, recently commented on the tragic situation with Valero and his wife. In addition to expressing shock and condolences, Manny wasn’t completely sold on the idea that Valero hung himself in the jail cell. Let’s examine Manny’s comments further.
“I was surprised when I heard of what happened. I condole with his family, let us pray for his soul.” Pacquiao, ABS-CBN News
Condolences should be sent out to the family and friends of Edwin and Jennifer Valero; for they will have to truly endure the devastating loss and troubling criticism long after the media stops covering this story. I truly hope that something can be learned from this tragedy to prevent any future incidents like this.
In addition to these comments, Manny expressed his concern over the news that Valero committed suicide in a jail cell. Manny made the following comments about the suicide through his adviser Mike Koncz:
“He thought about the possibility of a conspiracy. And that it was possible that the family of Valero’s wife had powerful friends and so there could have been a conspiracy to get back at Valero.” Koncz, Philstar.com
Koncz goes on to say the following:
“Someone might have gotten back at Valero. If police authorities felt that Valero could be a danger even to himself, they should have stripped him down to his briefs inside his cell or put on a straight jacket on him. They do that in the United States. Venezuelan authorities should have placed Valero under suicidal watch.” Koncz, Philstar.com
Vince Anderson Sacramento, CA “Do you believe in a possible conspiracy theory over Valero’s suicide?”
One of the first things I thought, after hearing the news about Valero’s suicide, was ‘why didn’t the police put him on suicide watch?’ Valero was apparently under the influence of something and has a history of psychological problems.
It doesn’t seem to make sense that a guy with his fame and well documented problems would be left unmonitored. However, it’s easy for people to say there’s a ‘conspiracy’ especially when they don’t have all the facts. Unfortunately, as of right now, there are more questions than answers.
Koncz touched on the fact that in America if there are any hints toward possible suicide or mental issues then inmates are put on suicide watch and all things that could aid in suicide are taken away. However, we don’t know how the Venezuelan legal system works. Perhaps, they don’t have the same process. Perhaps, they didn’t think Valero was a suicide threat. Perhaps, there really was a revenge factor from those who wanted to punish Valero for killing his wife.
I do agree that there are too many holes in the details that have been released. Do these holes equate to a conspiracy? I’m afraid that we might not ever get the complete truth on Valero’s suicide.
Do you readers believe in a “conspiracy theory”?
