Boxing: Quebec coroner seeking Gatti documents


Associated Press

TORONTO � The coroner�s office in Quebec says it wants Brazilian authorities to share their files from boxer Arturo Gatti�s initial autopsy and the police investigation into his death.

Gatti�s death in Brazil on July 11 was ruled a suicide last week, after Brazilian police initially said the Canadian boxer and two-time world champion had been slain and that his wife, Amanda Rodrigues, was the prime suspect.
Gatti�s friends and relatives rejected that conclusion, and Quebec authorities completed a second autopsy on Gatti�s corpse Saturday.
Quebec coroner�s spokeswoman Genevieve Guilbault said Monday that her office had asked Canada�s federal government to get involved and request documents from the first autopsy and other files related to the scene when Gatti was found.
