you might be right mate, I'll try and find out. I got my wires crossed because it wasn't Sonny.

On 30th December 1970 Liston died in Las Vegas. His body lay undiscovered for six days, until his wife found it. There was heroin in the kitchen. It had been a hard life for Liston from beginning to end.
