Freeda George Foreman, the daughter of former heavyweight champion George Foreman and briefly a boxer herself, has died at a suburban Houston home. She was 42.


The Harris County sheriff's office said Monday that emergency crews found her Friday. The sheriff's office says its investigators also responded and preliminary indications were that her death was a suicide, but the medical examiner's office will make the final determination.

Foreman tweeted Sunday night: "First Sunday in 42 years without my Freeda. She's With her maker now."
He said when she told him she wanted to box he told her to get a degree first, and she did.



Freeda Foreman fought briefly and was 5-1. Her career spanned 17 months in 2000-01.

Man, I can't imagine losing a child, much less to suicide. Stuff like this didn't really phase me until I had my own. RIP

I don't like joking about suicide, but your joke was absolutely hysterical Kirby.

That's terrible. Couldn't imagine something like this happening to myself.

Lost my nephew/godchild to suicide last year. I know how bad my pain is, hard to imagine what my brother and SIL are going through. RIP

I have noticed the recent trend in the media that when someone has knowingly committed suicide, the story still states, "INSERT NAME has died."

Why don't they just call a spade a spade?

Well the person did die, sounds like calling a spade a spade to me.

Hopefully those who are affected will forgive her for such a selfish act.

And hopefully I'll be the only person that responds to your ignorance.

There would have been mass confusion if it had been one of his sons.
