Five-time world boxing champion Johnny Tapia was found dead in his home at 45. Tapia had a very difficult childhood never having met his father and reportedly having witnessed his mother’s murder. His whole life was peppered with brushes with the law. Tapia entered the boxing scene in the early 1980’s and won his first championship belt in 1990. The rest of his career was divided between his fights in the ring and those outside the ring against drug and alcohol addiction. A native of New Mexico, Tapia considered Las Vegas his adopted home. Cause of death is of yet unknown
