[NAPO]

Wow! and by thinking he was just a couple of days ago in PR.


I don't know what did you do that Arguello but I hope it was a mistake.

[MANGLER]

Damn! That's ****ed up. RIP.

"Police have confirmed that Arguello shot himself through the heart and is dead"

Wow, what unbelievable news... Considering that countries history between the Sandinistas and the anti-government agitators, I wouldn't be surprised if this was actually a murder.

R.I.P Alexis.

He also talked about suicide in a book done in 1994 called "In this corner ... 42 world champions tell their stories" by Peter Heller.

a guy like arguello killing himself??? it doesnt fit his personality. he was a gentleman who spoke eloquently, articulate and passionate about life. he had dignity and the quiet unshakeable confidence of a man who came from nothing and lifted himself up by the laces...his demeanor and humility reminds me of pacquiao and kostya tszyu.
suicide by gunshot to the heart is fairly unusual. i dunno smells like a rat.
