Sports: Tennis star Mathieu Montcourt found dead in Paris

  • The timing was a little odd, by the way. Montcourt, who died in this sleep, just began a five-week suspension from the sport for betting on games. The player, ranked 119th in the world, thought the punishment was too harsh – he bet a total of $192 on 36 tennis matches back in 2005, none of which were his own, but was fined $12,000. That said, it’s still bizarre that he was found dead at that juncture. source
