Scottish Boxer Dies

Compiled From Wire Services

Scottish boxer James Murray died of injuries suffered in a title fight with Drew Docherty, leading to a renewal of calls for the sport to be banned in Britain.

Richard Morgan, a spokesman at Glasgow’s Southern General Hospital, said doctors had pronounced Murray “clinically dead” Saturday but left him on a life support machine.

They reassessed his condition Sunday, decided he was dead and then removed him from the machine.
