I was going through Charlie Magri's record today and see that Mercedes the man he took the World title from died at an early age, anyone know the cause?

A few days before Christmas in 1985, Mercedes was shot and killed by a policeman in his native La Ramon. In what could be called unclear circumstances, he was shot after allegedly pulling out a gun at the policeman. Mercedes had been drinking in a bar when he was shot to death.

Thanks mate'
