ALBUQUERQUE (KRQE) - New information about the death of New Mexico boxing legend Johnny Tapia has been released.
According to a police report, Tapia’s wife found him unconscious in their bedroom this weekend and it looks like the boxing champion had been bothered by a medical problem.
The report also says Tapia had been complaining of stomach pains the day he died and the day before.
Police believe Tapia died sometime after 3:30 p.m.
When his wife got home she found Johnny face down on the floor next to the bed.
Police say there was a bottle of Pepto Bismal near his head and a small yellow pill near his feet.
An autopsy was done Wednesday, but investigators did not say exactly how Johnny Tapia died.
Police are still waiting for results from a toxicology test and that can take a few months.
