Promoter stricken after finding dead boxer

London -- Irish boxing promoter Frank Maloney was recovering Tuesday from a suspected heart attack after finding the body of boxer Darren Sutherland, officials said.

Maloney, 55, was hospitalized Monday in London after finding Sutherland had hanged himself, The Daily Telegraph reported Tuesday. Sutherland, 27, won a bronze medal for Ireland at last year's Bejing Olympics.

Maloney had no history of heart problems, his wife, Tracey Maloney, said Tuesday.

"On the contrary, he's very active and keeps very fit," she said. "The hospital doctors want to keep Frank in for a few days, and keep an eye on him, but knowing Frank, he'll want to get out of there and back to work as soon as possible."
