LONDON — Darren Sutherland, who won an Olympic bronze medal in boxing at last year’s Beijing Games, has been found dead at his home, manager Frank Maloney said. He was 27.

Sutherland was found hanged at his home Monday by Maloney, who was taken to the hospital suffering from shock. Tests revealed that the 55-year-old manager had a heart attack.
Sutherland, an Irishman who was unbeaten in his first four pro fights, was due to appear with Maloney at a news conference Tuesday to talk about his next fight, which had been scheduled for Oct. 16.
Olympic middleweight champion James DeGale, who beat Sutherland in Beijing, paid tribute to his former rival.
“He had an Olympic bronze medal and his whole life to look forward to,” the Englishman said. “He had a great future and my heart goes out to everyone who knew him.”
Maloney, a former manager of world heavyweight champion Lennox Lewis, remained in the hospital but doctors were allowing him to work on his laptop. He is expected to remain there for a few days.
