Venezuela - On April 18, undefeated boxer Edwin Valero took his own life by hanging himself in a holding call of a Carabobo police station after being arrested for the murder of his wife, which took place two days earlier in a hotel room in Valencia. On the morning of April 19, an autopsy had confirmed the report of the CICPC (Office of Scientific, Penal and Criminal Investigations) of Carabobo, stating that Valero's death was a suicide. Valero's family believed that some of the police officers may have killed the fighter. 

Around the month of May, Valero's family questioned the fighter's death and asked for the exhumation of his body, which began on May 13, for a second autopsy. Valero's body was badly decomposed because apparently it wasn't given the right treatment when buried, although the famous tattoo on his chest could still be seen.   

Now, 132 days after the tragedy, the case seems to be near it's conclusion. A report will be delivered in two weeks by the Office of Legal Medicine of The Watcher, under the supervision of Dr. Wenceslao Vine, and also involved experts Sergio Boris and Bosio Penot, with prosecutors Luis Gustavo and Araque Obvious. 

There is no discrepancy with the first autopsy, which found that Valero took his own life, according to the marking left on his neck by his pants that were used to perform the action.  In the document it will be brought to light, the pattern of the marking and how it was "slightly higher on the left side of the neck of the boxer" to confirm suicide. There was also bruising to the back of the head which according to the report was produced by convulsions prior to death.
